Safety instructions

Danger
Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
The appliance must not be used if the
power cord or important parts of the ap-
pliance, e.g. safety devices, high-pres-
sure hoses, spray guns, are damaged.
The appliance may not be used in areas
where a risk of explosion is present.
If the appliance is used in hazardous are-
as (e.g. filling stations) the corresponding
safety provisions must be observed.
Check the power cord with mains plug for
damage before every use. If the power
cord is damaged, please arrange immedi-
ately for the exchange by an authorized
customer service or a skilled electrician.
High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly
used. The jet may not be
directed at persons, ani-
mals, live electrical equipment or at the
appliance itself.
The jet must not be directed at other
persons or directed by the user at him/
herself to clean clothing or footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances
(e.g. asbestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscep-
tible to damage from the high-pressure
jet and may burst. The first indication of
this is a discolouration of the tyre. Dam-
aged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly
dangerous. Ensure that a distance of at
least 30 cm is observed when cleaning
with the jet!
Never draw in fluids containing solvents
or undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is
highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents as they are aggres-
sive towards the materials from which
the appliance is made.
