• Risk of explosion – Do not spray flammable liquids.
• Disconnect the tool – Disconnect from the electrical power
supply before performing any maintenance task.
• Keep children away – This high-pressure electric
power washer must not be used by children or untrained
personnel.
• To ensure appliance safety, use only original replacement
parts from the manufacturer or those approved by the
manufacturer.

WARNING!
Water that has flowed through backflow
preventers is considered to be non-potable.
m
WARNING!
During cleaning, maintenance or when
replacing parts, the machine must be disconnected from its
power source by removing the plug from the socket outlet.
m
WARNING!
High-pressure hoses, fittings, and
couplings are important for the safe operation of the appliance.
Use only hoses, fittings, and couplings recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Check for damaged parts – Do not use the appliance if
the supply cord or other important parts of the appliance
are damaged (e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses,
trigger gun).
• This high-pressure electric power washer must not be used
at temperatures below 32ºF (0°C).
m
WARNING!
Power cords on drums should always be
completely unwound to prevent the cord from overheating.
• Power cord connections should be kept dry and off the
ground.
• If the power cord is damaged, do not use the appliance.

• Keep the machine on a stable, flat surface during operation,
handling, transportation, and storage. Sudden overturn of
the machine can cause bodily injury.
• In the event of an accident or breakdown, switch off the
machine immediately. (If contact with detergent occurs,
rinse with an abundance of clean water.)
Electrical Safety
ATTENTION:
If there are problems with the electrical
MAINS, short voltage drops may appear when starting the
equipment. This can, in turn, influence other equipment
(e.g. cause a lamp to blink). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax
< 0.335 OHM, such disturbances are not expected. (If you
require assistance, contact your local supply authority for
further information.)

WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard – Before starting
up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects. If
you find any, do not start up your machine and contact your
distributor.
The following should be observed when connecting the
high-pressure electric power washer to the electric supply:
• The electric supply connection should be performed by a
qualified person.
• The electric supply to this appliance should include either
a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the
leakage current to the earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a
device that will interrupt the earth circuit (GFCI).
IMPORTANT:
Only use water without any impurities.
If there is a risk of running sand into the inlet water (i.e. from
your own well), an additional filter should be installed.
Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliance
In a double insulated product, two layers of electrical insulation
are used in lieu of grounding. A double insulated product has
not means of grounding, nor should grounding be added to
the product. Servicing a double insulated product requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should only
be performed by qualified service personnel. Replacement
parts for a double insulated product must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double insulated product is marked with
the words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED"
and the symbol .
Safety Devices
The unloader valve can reduce pressure if it exceeds preset
values. The spray gun features a locking device. When the lock
is activated, the spray gun cannot be operated.
1. Thermal sensor – A thermal sensor protects the motor
against overloading. If the thermal sensor is activated and
the power is cut off, wait for a while until the motor is cool
and restart the unit.
2. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection – This
pressure washer is provided with a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power-supply
cord. This device provides additional protection from the
risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the plug or
cord become necessary, use only identical replacement
parts that include GFCI protection.
3. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with
this pressure washer. The unit comes standard with a
35 ft GFCI power cord. Using an extension cord may
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
m
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with
wet hand.
