and may burst. The first indication of this
is a discolouration of the tyre. Damaged
vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly dan-
gerous. Ensure that a distance of at least
30 cm is observed when cleaning with the

Never draw in fluids containing solvents or
undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating oil.
The spray mist thus generated is highly in-
flammable, explosive and poisonous. Do
not use acetone, undiluted acids and sol-
vents as they are damaging to the materi-
als from which the appliance is made.

Unsuitable extension cables can be haz-
ardous. Only use extension cables out-
doors which have been approved for this
purpose and labelled with a sufficient ca-
ble cross-section: 1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm
30 m: 2.5 mm
