The appliance may only be connected to
alternating current. The voltage must cor-
respond with the type plate on the appli-
ance.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you
operate the appliance only via a earth-leak-
age circuit breaker (max. 30 mA).

Safety Devices
Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must not
be modified or bypassed.
Power switch
The appliance switch prevents unintentional
operation of the appliance.
Lock trigger gun
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun and
prevents the inadvertent start of the appli-
ance.
Overflow valve with pressure switch
The overflow valve prevents the permissible
working pressure from being exceeded.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released the
pressure switch turns off the pump, the high-
12
pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is pulled
the pump is turned on again.
High pressure hose
The high pressure hose is specially construct-
ed with reinforced walls to handle water pres-
sure up to 13/14 MPa (1900/2050 psi) - it can
be easily damaged and should be stored
carefully.
Do not kink.
Do not drive vehicles over the hose.
Do not expose the hose to sharp edges or
corners.
Misuse will lead to ballooning or premature
failure and will invalidate warranty.
