Safe working practice
WARNING
Please adhere to the following rules of conduct when working with the
high-pressure washer. The high-pressure jet can cause serious injuries and/or
damage to property.
•
The jet may not be directed at living things (people, animals), live equipment or at the
machine itself.
• Always wear personal protective equipment, such as protective footwear, protective
gloves, goggles, ear protectors, etc. when working with the high-pressure washer.
• Place the high-pressure washer on a flat, stable surface. Only operate it upright, never
lying on its side.
•
Ensure that there are no people or animals in the area you are working in.
• Before starting any cleaning working, check that there are no potentially dangerous
objects within the work area. Remove any object from the work area which could pose
a tripping hazard, such as toys or garden furniture. Ensure that all doors and windows
are securely closed.
• Always ensure that you are standing steady, especially due to the possible kickback
when you press the trigger on the spray gun.
• Always switch the high-pressure washer off and depressurise the system before
attaching or removing accessories, cleaning or carrying out maintenance on the
machine, and if you leave the machine unattended, even for a short time.
•
After switching the machine off, always engage the yellow safety catch on the trigger
in order to prevent the high-pressure jet from being triggered inadvertently.
•
Surfaces may be damaged by the high-pressure jet. Stay clear of painted or other
sensitive surfaces. Where necessary, test it on an inconspicuous place.
• Be especially careful when washing tyres. Car tyres and tyre valves may be damaged or
burst if they are not treated properly. Initial signs of damage are discolouration on the
tyres. Damaged car tyres and tyre valves put lives in danger. Keep the jet at least 30 cm
away from them!

•
Only use the high-pressure washer to clean the walls of buildings, facades, patios,
footpaths, garden equipment, machines, vehicles and tools which are suitable for this.
• Car engines and other objects which are soiled with oil and lubricants may only be
cleaned on surfaces from which the waste water is diverted through an oil separator.
• Do not spray any objects which contain harmful substances (such as asbestos).
•
Keep the high-pressure jet away from the power cord and from the high-pressure hose
and ensure that they are not driven over, squeezed or otherwise subjected to stress.
• Only operate the high-pressure washer in well ventilated areas and keep it uncovered
so that it does not overheat.
• Before commencing your work, also comply with the regulations of quiet times in your
local area when working with noisy machines.
