CAUTION
 Wear protective clothing and
safety goggles to protect
against splash back contain-
ing water or dirt.
 During the use of high-pres-
sure cleaners aerosols can
develop. Inhaling aerosols
can cause health damage.
– Depending on the applica-
tion, completely shielded noz-
zles (e.g. surface cleaner)
that significantly reduce the
emission of aqueous aero-
sols can be used for high-
pressure cleaning.
– The use of such shielding is
not possible with all applica-
tions.
– If the use of a completely
shielded nozzle is not possi-
ble, a respirator of the catego-
ry FFP 2 or the like should be
used, depending on the envi-
ronment to be cleaned.
