Safety Devices - Kärcher K 3 Deluxe Premium Manual

CAUTION
● Safety devices are provided for
your own protection. Never modify or bypass safety de-
vices.
Risk of electric shock
DANGER
● Only connect protection class I de-
vices to properly earthed power sources. ● Only con-
nect the device to alternating current. The voltage
indicated on the type plate must match the voltage of
the power source. ● Only operate the device via a fault
current protection switch (maximum 30 mA). ● Never
touch the mains plug and socket with wet hands. ● The
mains plug and coupling of the extension cable must be
water tight and may not be placed in water. The coupling
may not be on the floor. Use cable drums to ensure that
the sockets are at least 60 mm above the floor. ● All live
parts in the work area must be protected against water
jets.
WARNING
● Only connect the device to an
electrical connection which has been set up by a quali-
fied electrician as per IEC 60364-1. ● Check the power
supply cable with mains plug for damage before opera-
tion each time. Do not put the device into operation with
a damaged power supply cable. Have a damaged pow-
er supply cable replaced immediately by the authorised
customer service / qualified electrician. ● Do not dam-
age the power supply and extension cable by running
over it, crushing or yanking it or similar. Protect the pow-
er supply cable from heat, oil and sharp edges. ● Un-
suitable electrical extension cables are dangerous. Only
use approved and appropriately marked electrical ex-
tension cables with a sufficient line cross section when
outdoors: 1-10 m : 1.5 mm
CAUTION
● Always fully unwind the extension
cable from the cable drum. ● In case of longer breaks in
operation and after use, switch off the device at the
main switch / device switch and pull the mains plug.
Operation
DANGER
● Operation in explosive atmos-
pheres is prohibited. ● Never suction solvents, liquids
containing solvents or undiluted acids. This includes
e.g. petrol, paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist is
highly flammable, explosive and poisonous. ● Dam-
aged wheels / tyre valves are extremely dangerous.
Damaged wheels / tyre valves can be damaged by the
high-pressure jet and explode. The first sign of this is
discolouration of the tyres. Keep a spray distance of at
least 30 cm when cleaning the wheels / tyre valves.
WARNING
● Do not use the device if people
without the proper protective clothing are in its reach.
● Do not aim the high-pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to
clean clothes or shoes. ● Do not direct the high-pres-
sure jet at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or
at the device itself. ● Do not spray any objects which
contain harmful substances (e.g. asbestos). ● Check
the device and the accessories, such as the high-pres-
sure hose, high-pressure gun and safety devices, to
make sure they are in proper safe and reliable condition
before each operation. Do not use the device if it is dam-
aged. Replace damaged components immediately.
● Only use high-pressure hoses, control panels and
couplings specified by the manufacturer. ● Risk of
scalding. When disconnecting the supply or high-pres-
sure hose, hot water can leak out of the connections af-
ter operation.

CAUTION
lations, the appliance may never be used with the drink-
ing water network without a system separator. Ensure
that the connection to your house water system, with
which the high-pressure cleaner is operated, is
equipped with a system separator according to
EN 12729 type BA. ● Water that has flowed through a
system separator is no longer classified as drinkable.
● Never leave the device unsupervised while it is in op-
eration. ● Recoil force from the water stream emerging
at the high-pressure nozzle acts on the high-pressure
gun. Keep proper footing and hold the high-pressure
gun and spray lance firmly. ● Accidents or damage due
to the device falling over. Before all actions with or on
the device, you must make sure that it is stable.
