HOW TO PREVENT IT
Unsafe operationof your pressure
washer could lead to serious injury
or death to you or others.
The spray gun/wand is a powerful
cleaningtool that could look like a
toy to a child.
Reactive force of spray will cause
gun/wand to move, and could cause
the operatorto slip or fall, or
misdirect the spray.Improper control
of gun/wand can result in injuriesto
self and others.
• High velocityfluid spray can cause
objects to break, propelling particles
at high speed.
• Ught or unsecured objects can become
hazardousprojectiles.
• Spray directed at electrical outletsor
switches, or objects connected to an
electrical circuit, could result in a fatal
electrical shock.
Your washer operates at fluid
pressures and velocitieshigh enough
to penetrate human and animal flesh,
which could result in amputation or
other serious injury. Leaks caused by
loose fittings or worn or damaged
hoses can result in injection injuries.
