Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Because the pressure
washer is gasoline-pow-
ered and produces a
powerful water jet, spe-
cial safety precautions
must be observed to
reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the safety
precautions and warnings
in this instruction manual
and the warnings and
instructions in the
owner's manual for the
Kohler engine. Read both
manuals before use and
periodically thereafter.
Careless or improper use
may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your pressure washer. A first
time operator should obtain practical
instruction before using the pressure
washer. Observe all applicable national,
state and local laws, safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
