4 Safety Precautions
► Make sure there is a sufficient supply of
water to the pressure washer,
4.10 Connecting to the power supply
Contact with live components may occur for the
following reasons:
– The connecting cable or the extension cord is
damaged.
– The mains plug of the connecting cable or
extension cord is damaged.
– The socket is not properly installed.
DANGER
■ Contact with live parts may result in electric
shock. This may result in serious or fatal injury
to the user.
► Make sure that the connecting cable, exten‐
sion cord and their mains plugs are undam‐
aged.
If the connecting cable or the extension
cord is damaged:
► Do not touch the damaged area.
► Disconnect the mains plug from the
power supply.
► Make sure your hands are dry before touch‐
ing the connecting cable, extension cord or
mains plugs.
► Plug the mains plug of the connecting cable
or extension cord into a properly installed,
shockproof socket with the correct fuse rat‐
ing.
► Have a qualified electrician connect the
device to the mains and make sure the
requirements set out in IEC 60364-1 have
been met. We recommend connecting the
machine to the power supply via an earth-
leakage circuit breaker that disconnects the
power supply as soon as the leakage cur‐
rent to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or
the power supply features an earth tester.
■ A damaged or unsuitable extension cable can
result in electric shock. There is a risk of seri‐
ous or fatal injury.
► Use an extension cable with the correct
cable cross-section,
► Use a splash water protected extension
cord approved for outdoor use.
► Use an extension cord that has the same
characteristics as the connecting cable of
the high-pressure washer,
► We recommend you use a cable drum with
sockets that are at minimum 60 mm above
floor level for this purpose.

WARNING
■ During operation, an incorrect mains voltage
or incorrect mains frequency may result in an
overvoltage in the high-pressure washer. The
high-pressure washer may be damaged.
► Make sure that the mains voltage and the
mains frequency of the power supply match
the data on the rating plate of the high-pres‐
sure washer.
■ If several electric power tools are connected to
a multiple socket, electrical components may
be overloaded during operation. The compo‐
nents may overheat and cause a fire. Persons
may be seriously or fatally injured, and prop‐
erty may be damaged.
► Only ever connect one high-pressure
washer to one socket.
► Do not connect high-pressure washers to
power strips.
■ An incorrectly routed connecting cable or
extension cord may be damaged, and people
may trip over it. People may be injured, and
the connecting cable or extension cord may be
damaged.
► Route the connecting cable and extension
cord so that the water jet does not come
into contact with them.
► Route and mark the connecting cable and
extension cord so that people will not trip
over them.
► Route the connecting cable and extension
cord so that they are not under tension or
tangled.
► Route the connecting cable and extension
cord so that they will not be damaged,
kinked or crushed and will not be chafed.
► Protect the connecting cable and extension
cord from heat, oil and chemicals.
► Lay the connecting cable and extension
cord on a dry surface.
■ The extension cable warms up in operation. If
that heat cannot escape, it may cause a fire.
► If using a cable reel: completely unroll the
cable reel.
4.11 Transport
WARNING
■ The pressure washer may topple over or move
during transport. Persons may be injured or
property damaged.
► Lock the spray gun trigger.
► Switch off the high-pressure washer.
