Prepare a pressure-resistant water hose. Attach the
coupling sleeve to one end and connect the other end
to the faucet as follows.
1.
Remove the nut on the coupling sleeve and pass
the pressure-resistant water hose through the nut.
Insert the end of the hose into the coupling sleeve and
then tighten the nut.

the coupling sleeve 3. Coupling sleeve
NOTE: If you connect the pressure-resistant water
hose to the faucet using a coupling sleeve, attach it to
the both ends of the hose.
2.
Connect the pressure-resistant water hose to the
faucet. Apply a suitable fitting such as hose band or
water tap joint to secure the hose end with the faucet.

resistant water hose
NOTE: The fitting depends on the shape of the faucet
to which you connect. Prepare a suitable commercial-
ly-bought fitting.
3. Attach the water hose connector to the inlet (with
the faucet marking) and then insert the coupling sleeve.

Connecting/disconnecting the nozzle
CAUTION:
Always lock the trigger when con-
necting/disconnecting the nozzle.
Insert the end of the nozzle into the slot on the trigger
gun and turn it in the direction of the arrow as shown in
the figure. To disconnect, turn the nozzle in the reverse
direction while pressing it toward the trigger gun.

Some optional nozzles require the connecting joint
(optional accessory) to attach to the trigger gun. Attach
the connecting joint to the trigger gun in the same way
as the nozzle.

OPERATION
WARNING:
direct it toward yourself or others. The water jet is
dangerous and can hurt you or others.
WARNING:
never hold the object that you are cleaning or
place your hands and feet near the water jet.
CAUTION:
Stay alert to the rebound of the
water jet and blown objects. Do not bring the
nozzle to the object closer to 30 cm .
CAUTION:
Do not run the high pressure
washer without water for longer than 1 minute.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the high pressure
washer for a extended period of time. This may
cause overheating or fire. Also, long-term use may
cause vibration disorder.
CAUTION:
Be aware of the direction of the
wind. If the detergent gets into your eyes or mouth,
rinse with fresh water immediately and seek medical
attention if necessary.
NOTICE:
Avoid using the high pressure washer
for longer than 1 hour. After using it for 1 hour,
leave a same length of intermission.
1. Connect the end of the high-pressure hose to the
trigger gun. For the HW1200, connect the other end to
the high pressure washer. For the HW1300, unreel the
hose all the way to the end.
2. Connect the high pressure washer to the faucet
and then open the faucet.
► Fig.29
NOTICE:
To protect the mechanism of the high
pressure washer, do not use water hotter than
40°C.
3. Plug the high pressure washer into the mains and
switch it on.
► Fig.30: 1. Power switch
4. To eject a water jet, unlock the stopper and
squeeze the trigger. The jet continues as long as the
trigger is squeezed.

CAUTION:
Hold the trigger gun firmly. The
trigger gun recoils when you pull the trigger.
CAUTION:
Always hold the trigger gun by the
grip and barrel when cleaning. While the motor is
running, do not touch any part of the high pres-
sure washer body other than the carrying handle
and power switch.
