– Ensure that the appliance is placed on
a firm base.

hose causes a recoil on the gun. There
is also a torque action acting on the
angled spray lance. You should
therefore keep a firm grip on the spray
lance and gun.
– Never point the water jet at people,
animals, the appliance or electrical
components.
– The high-pressure cleaner may not be
operated by children. (danger of
accidents due to incorrect use of the
appliance).
– Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be
cleaned from a certain minimum
spraying distance of 30 cm. The vehicle
tyre/tyre valve could otherwise be
damaged by the high-pressure spray.
The first indication of this is a
discoloration of the tyre.
Damage vehicle tyres/tyre valves can
endanger life.
– Asbestos-containing and other
materials, which contain materials
damaging to health, may not be
sprayed.
– Suitable protective clothing must be
worn to protect against return spray.
