Electrical safety
i
Your machine is double insu-
lated; therefore no earth wire is
required. Always check that the
main voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
u
be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised BLACK+DECKER Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

Pre-operation (Fig. A, B, C, D)
Adjusting Fan Pattern (Fig. E, F, G)
The angle of spray coming out of the lance may be adjusted
on some lances by rotating the nozzle. This will vary the

(original instructions)
spray pattern from approximately a 0° narrow high impact
stream to a 60° wide fan spray. (See Figure F).
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of the water
over a larger area, resulting in excellent cleaning action
with a reduced risk of surface damage, large surface areas
can be cleaned more quickly using a wide fan pattern.
(See Figure G).
nozzle cleaning instructions (Fig. H)
A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause a
significant reduction of water coming out of the nozzle and
cause the unit to pulsate while spraying. To clean out the
nozzle:
Turn off and unplug unit.
u
Turn off water supply. Relieve any pressure trapped in
u
the hose by squeezing trigger 2-3 times.
Separate lance from gun.
u
Rotate nozzle to the narrow stream setting.
u
This opens up the fan blades.
u
Using included tip cleaner, or an unfolded paper clip,
u
insert wire into the nozzle hole and move back and
forth until debris is dislodged. (See Figure H.).
Remove additional debris by back-flushing water
u
through the nozzle. To do this, place end of a garden
hose ( with water running ) to the end of nozzle for 30-
60 seconds.
Angle to the cleaning surface (Fig. I)
When spraying water against a surface, maximum impact
is generated when the water strikes the surface "head on."
However, this type of impact tends to cause dirt particles
to imbed in the surface, thereby preventing the desired
cleaning action.
The optimum angle for spraying water against a cleaning
surface is 45 degrees.
Spraying water against a surface at this angle provides for
the most beneficial impact force combined with efficient
removal of debris from the surface.
Distance from cleanling surface
Another factor that determines the impact force of the
water is the distance from the spray nozzle to the cleaning
surface. The impact force of the water is increased as the
nozzle is moved closer to the surface.
How to avoid damaging surfaces
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact
force of the water exceeds the durability of the surface.
The impact force can be varied by controlling the three
previously noted items. Never use a narrow high impact
stream or a turbo/rotary nozzle on a surface that is
susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a
