Operation

DANGER
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
DANGER
Risk of injury! Never use the appliance
without the spray lance attached. Check
and ensure proper fitting of the spray lance
prior to each use. The screw connection of
the spray lance must be finger-tight.
DANGER
– Place the appliance on firm surface.
– The high-pressure cleaner must not be
used by children. (Risk of accidents on
account of improper use of the device).
– The high-pressure jet generates high
levels of noise when the device is in
use. Risk of hearing impairment. Al-
ways use proper hearing protection
while working with the device.
– The water jet coming out of the high-
pressure nozzle causes the gun to re-
coil. Further, an angular spray pipe can
cause additional torque. Hence, hold
the spray lance and gun firmly.
– Never direct the water jet on to persons,
animals, the appliance itself or electrical
components.
– Vehile tyres/ tyre valves may be
cleaned only with a minimum spray dis-
tance of 30 cm. Otherwise, the high
pressure spray can cause damage to
the vehicle tyre/ tyre valve. The discol-
ouring of the tyre is the fhe first sign of
damage. Damaged vehicle tyres are a
source of danger.
– Do not spray materials containing as-
bestos or other health-hazardous sub-
stances.
