Safety Devices - Kärcher K 2.19 Operating Instructions Manual

Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against back spray
containing water or dirt.
Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
Make sure that the power cable or ex-

ning over, pinching, dragging or similar.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
The connection between the power ca-
ble and extension cable must not lie in
water.
All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
The appliance may only be connected
to an electrical supply which has been
installed in accordance with IEC 60364.
The appliance may only be connected
to alternating current. The voltage must
correspond with the type plate on the
appliance.
The minimum fuse rating required at the
socket outlet is 13 A (slow-blow).
To avoid accidents due to electrical
faults we recommend the use of sock-

tripping current).
The plug and coupling of the extension
cable used must be watertight.
Always fully unroll electrical cables from
the cable drum.

Safety Devices

Safety devices serve to protect the user
and must not be rendered inoperational or
their functions bypassed.
Power switch
The switch prevents unintented starting of
the appliance. Stop the appliance during
breaks or after operation.
Safety catch
The safety catch on the trigger gun pre-
vents the appliance from being switched on
unintentionally.
High pressure hose
The high pressure hose is specially con-
structed with reinforced walls to handle wa-
ter pressure up to 11 MPa (1600 psi) - it is
easily damaged and should be stored care-
fully.
Do not kink.
Do not drive vehicles over the hose.
Do not expose the hose to sharp edges
or corners.
Misuse will lead to ballooning or premature
failure and will invalidate warranty.
