WARNING :This machine has been designed for use
with the cleaning agent supplied or recommended by
the manufacturer. The use of other cleaning agents or
chemicals may adversely affect the safety of the machine.

WARNING: During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols
may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous
to health.

WARNING: High pressure jets can be dangerous if subject
to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, live
electrical equipment or the machine itself.

WARNING: Do not use the machine within range of
persons unless they wear protective clothing.

WARNING: Do not direct the jet against yourself or others
in order to clean clothes or foot-wear.

WARNING: Risk of explosion – Do not spray

important for the safety of the machine. Use only hoses,
fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING: To ensure machine safety, use only original
spare parts from the manufacturer or approved by
the manufacturer.

WARNING: Water that has flowed through backflow
preventers is considered to be nonpotable.

WARNING: the machine shall be disconnected from its
power source during cleaning or maintenance and when
replacing parts.

WARNING: Do not use the machine if important parts
of the machine are damaged, e.g. safety devices, high
pressure hoses, trigger gun.

WARNING: Depending on the application, shielded
nozzles can be used for high pressure cleaning, which
will reduce the emission of hydrous aerosols dramatically.
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.
According to the applicable regulations, the
appliance must never be used on the drinking
water network without a system separator. Use a
separator as per IEC 61770. Water flowing through
a system separator is considered not drinkable.

before connecting or disconnecting cord to electrical outlets.
3 . Water spray must never be directed towards any electric wiring
or directly towards the pressure washer machine itself or fatal
electric shock may occur.
4 . The narrow pin point stream is very powerful. It is not
recommended for use on painted surfaces, wood surfaces or
items attached with an adhesive backing.
5 . Keep operating area clear of all persons and animals.
6 . Always use both hands when operating pressure washer
to maintain complete control of the wand.

Never place hands in front of nozzle.
8 . Wear safety goggles while operating. Wear protective
clothing and footwear to protect against accidental spraying.
9 . Disconnect power plug from the outlet when not in use
and prior to the detaching of the high pressure hose.
10 . Never tie knots or kink the high pressure hose as
damage could result. Inspect the high pressure hose
regularly. Replace the hose immediately if it is damaged,
worn or shows any signs of cracks, bubbles, pinholes,
or other leakage. Never grasp a high-pressure hose that is
leaking or damaged.
11 . Do not operate or store this product in temperatures
below 4 °C (40 °F). Freeze damage is not covered by

protect eyes, skin and respiratory system from cleaners.
13 . The pressure washer should not be used in areas where
gas vapors may be present. An electric spark could cause an
explosion or fire.
14 . To minimize the amount of water getting into the
pressure washer, the unit should be placed as far as
possible from the cleaning site during operation.
15 . To prevent accidental discharge, the spray gun should
be secured by locking the trigger when not in use.
16 . To allow free air circulation, the pressure washer should
NOT be covered during operation.
17 . Never touch, grasp or attempt to cover a pinhole or
similar water leak on the high-pressure hose. The stream
of water IS under high pressure and WILL penetrate skin.
18 . Use only hoses and accessories rated for pressure higher
than your pressure washer's PSI / Bar. Never use with any
