e.g. safety devices, high-pressure hoses, hand spray guns.
► Never prime with liquids containing solvents or undiluted acids and solvents! These include petrol,
paint thinners or heating oil. The spray mist is highly flammable, explosive and poisonous. Do not use
acetone, undiluted acids or solvents as they can damage the materials used in the appliance.
► When using the appliance in hazardous areas (e.g. petrol filling stations) comply with the relevant
safety regulations. Operation in explosive atmospheres is prohibited.
► The appliance must be set up on a firm, flat surface.
► All live components in the working area must be protected from spray water.
► The trigger of the hand spray gun must not be jammed during use.
► High-pressure jets can be dangerous if misused.
Do not aim at people, animals, active electrical equipment or at the appliance itself.
DANGER!
► Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned at a minimum spray distance of 30 cm. Otherwise
the vehicle tyres/tyre valves could be damaged by the high-pressure jet. The first sign of damage is a
discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres are a source of danger.
► When using cleaning agents, comply with the safety data sheet of the cleaning agent manufacturer,
especially the information on personal safety equipment.
DANGER!
► Only cleaning agents that have been approved by the appliance manufacturer may be used. This
appliance was designed to be used with the cleaning products that were supplied or delivered by the
manufacturer. The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals can impair the safety of the appliance.
► Keep cleaning agents out of reach of children!
► Do not open the cover while the engine is running.
► During longer working breaks, switch off the appliance at the main switch/appliance switch.
WARNING!
► Do not aim the jet at others or yourself to clean clothing or footwear.
► Materials containing asbestos or other substances that are harmful to health may not be sprayed.
► Before cleaning, carry out a risk assessment of the surface to be cleaned to ascertain the safety
and health safety requirements. Take all necessary protective measures.
► With short jet pipes there is a risk of injury as a hand could accidentally come into contact with the
high-pressure jet. If the jet pipe being used is shorter than 75 cm, a needle jet nozzle or rotor nozzle may
not be used.
CAUTION!
► If a sound pressure level over 80 dB(A) is specified in the appliance operating instructions
(technical specifications), wear hearing protection.
► Wear suitable protective clothing and safety glasses to protect yourself from water splashes and
dirt.
► The recommended cleaning agent may not be used undiluted. The products are operationally safe
as they contain no environmentally harmful substances. If the cleaning agent gets into your eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor at the earliest opportunity if you swallow any.
► After hot water operation, allow the hoses to cool down or operate the appliance for a short
while using cold water. For appliances with a hand-arm vibration value > 2.5 m/s2 (see technical data)
DANGER!
► Using the appliance for a long time can lead to vibration-related circulation disorders of the hands.
It is not possible to determine a generally applicable time limit for use as this is affected by a number of
variables:
– Personal predisposition to poor circulation (frequently cold fingers, tingling in the fingers).
– Low ambient temperature. Wearing warm gloves protects the hands.
– A very tight grip impairs the circulation.
– Uninterrupted operation is not ideal: take regular breaks.
► In the event of regular, prolonged use of the appliance coupled with the repeated occurrence of
certain symptoms (e.g. tingling in the fingers, cold fingers), we recommend consulting a doctor.
