Electrical Safety Warnings; Additional Safety Warnings - Ryobi RPW110B Original Instructions Manual

■ Exercise caution when opening the trigger.
Hold the handle firmly with two hands to
avoid injury when the handle kicks back.
WARNING
During use of high pressure cleaners,
aerosols may be formed. Inhalation of
aerosols can be hazardous to health.
WARNING
Depending on the application, shielded nozzles
can be used for high-pressure cleaning,
which will reduce the emission of hydrous
aerosols. However, not all applications allow
the use of such a device. If shielded nozzles
are not applicable for the protection against
aerosols, a respiratory mask of class FFP 2 or
equivalent may be needed, depending on the
cleaning environment.
■ Always stop the product when you leave it
unattended.
■ High-pressure jet is dangerous if misused.
Do not direct the jet to people, live electrical
equipment, or the product itself.
■ To avoid a risk of explosion, do not spray
flammable liquids.
■ Do not direct the jet against yourself or
others in order to clean clothes or footwear.
■ Do not use the product to clean electronic
devices, clothes, or footwear.
■ High-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings
are important for the safety of the product.
Use only hoses, fittings, and couplings
recommended by the manufacturer.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS

■ The plug must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets reduces the
risk of electric shock.
■ Do not use the product if the power cord
or other important parts, such as safety
devices, are damaged.
■ Check the power cord and the extension
cord for damage before each use. If
the power cord or the extension cord

dangerous. If an extension cord is used,
it shall be suitable for outdoor use, and
the connection has to be kept dry and off
the ground. Use a cord wheel to keep the
socket at least 60 mm above the ground.
■ The electric supply connection must be
made by a qualified electrician and must
comply with IEC 60364-1. It is recommended
that the electric supply to the product should
include either a residual current device that
interrupts the supply if the leakage current
to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a
device that proves the earth circuit.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Some regions have regulations that restrict
the use of the product in some operations.
Check with your local authority for advice.
■ Before each use, check for damage. A
damaged high-pressure hose must be
replaced immediately. Ensure all connections,
such as high-pressure hose and nozzle, are
secure. Unwind the hose properly so they
may not get twisted or kinked.
■ Do not allow children
individuals to use the product.
■ Before starting any cleaning operation,
close doors and windows. Clear the area
to be cleaned of debris, toys, outdoor
furniture, or other objects that could create
a hazard.
