electrical appliances and the high-
pressure washer itself.

washer away from the surface to be cleaned.
￭ An incorrectly routed high-pressure hose may suffer
damage. As a result of the damage, water under high
pressure may escape uncontrolled into the surrounding
area. This may result in serious injury to people and
damage to property.
► Do not direct the water jet at the high-pressure hose.
► Route the high-pressure hose so that it is not under
tension or tangled.
► Route the high-pressure hose so that it will not be
damaged, kinked or crushed, or chafed.
► Protect the high-pressure hose from heat, oil and
chemicals.
￭ An incorrectly routed water hose may suffer damage and
people may trip over it. People may be injured and the
water hose may be damaged.
► Do not direct the water jet at the water hose.
► Route and mark the water hose so that people will not
trip over it.

tangled.
► Route the water hose so that it will not be damaged,
kinked or crushed, or chafed.

￭ The strong water jet produces reactive forces. The user
may lose control of the spraying system due to the
reaction forces that occur. The user may be seriously
injured and property damage may occur.

Connecting the water supply

WARNING
￭ Releasing the spray gun trigger causes a kickback in the
water hose. A kickback can force dirty water back into the
drinking water main. This can pollute the drinking water.
► Do not connect the high-pressure washer
directly to the drinking water main.
► Observe the regulations of the water supply company. If
required, use proper system separation (e.g. backflow
preventer) when connecting to the drinking water
system.
