WARNING
• Do not use the machine if a supply cord or important parts of the ma-
chine are damaged, e.g. safety devices, high pressure hoses , spray
handle or lance.
• Check the rated voltage of the machine before connecting it to the
mains power supply. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.
NOTE: If your 3-phase cleaner was supplied without a plug, have it fitted
with a suitable 3-phase plug with earth conductor.
WARNING
• Before use of water jet, assure that the high pressure hose with the
spray handle is safely connected by an audible click to the lance.
• High-pressure water jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must
not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or the
cleaner itself. Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other
persons in order to clean clothes or footwear.
• Do not use the cleaner when other people without appropriate protec-
tive clothing are in the working area. Wear appropriate protective cloth-
ing, safety gloves, boots, hearing aids and helmets with visor and eye
protection.
• When operating the spray handle, kickback forces are produced at the
spraying device and when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque
is also created. The spray handle and spray lance must therefore be
held firmly with both hands.
• Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances (e.g. as-
bestos, oil) being washed off the object to be cleaned and harming the
environment.
• During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may be formed. In-
halation of aerosols can be hazardous to health. The employer shall
perform a risk assessment in order to specify the necessary protective
measures regarding aerosols, depending on the surface to be cleaned
and its environment. Respiratory masks of class FFP 2, an equivalent
or higher are suitable for the protection against hydrous aerosols.
• This machine has been designed for use with the cleaning agent sup-
plied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other cleaning
