1 Important safety notes
Before using the high-pressure
cleaner, be sure to also read the
enclosed operating instructions
and keep them within reach at all
times.
The high-pressure cleaner may
only be used by persons instruc-
ted in its use and
who have been expressly autho-
rised to do so.
General
Use of the high-pressure cleaner
is subject to the applicable local
regulations.
In addition to the operating
instructions and the binding
accident prevention regulations in
the country of use, the generally
recognised rules for safe working
must also be observed.
Any method of use endangering
the safety of persons or equip-
ment is forbidden.
Before use
Before use, check that the high-
pressure cleaner is in a safe and
proper condition.
Plugs and connectors of mains
power leads must be at least
splash water-proof.
Inspect the main power lead at
regular intervals for damage and/
or ageing.
Use the high-pressure cleaner
only when the mains power lead
is in a safe condition.
(risk of electric shock if dama-
ged!).
Operate the cleaner only in an
upright position!
Important notes:
Do not connect the cleaner di-
rectly to the public drinking water
mains (observe
DIN 1988 and EN 1717).
A connection is permitted, howe-
ver:
• briefl y to a pipe interrupter
with moving section
• with a free outlet
Water may also be drawn from
an open container or from a well
or surface water not intended for
the drinking water supply. Please
use suction set for this. Ensure
that neither dirty water nor liquids
containing solvents are sucked in.
Please observe the regulations
and provisions applicable in your
country. Before putting the high-
pressure cleaner into service,
carry out a visual check of all the
major components.
High-pressure jets can be dange-
rous if misused. The jet must not
be directed at persons, animals,
live electrical equipment or the
cleaner itself.
During operation of the cleaner,
recoil forces are produced at the
spraying device ad, when the
spray lance is held at an angle,
a torque is also created. The
spraying device must therefore
be held fi rmly in both hands.
Risk of injury!
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other per-
sons in order to clean clothes or
footwear.
Do not use the cleaner when
other people without protective
clothing are in the working area.
Check that cleaning will not result
in dangerous substances (e.g.
asbestos, oil) being washed off
the object to be cleaned and
harming the environment.
Do not clean delicate parts made
of rubber, fabric, etc. with the
round jet. Hold the nozzle at a
distance of at least 15 cm when
cleaning with the high-pressure
fl at jet.
Although extremely easy to
operate, children should not be
allowed to use the cleaner.
Do not use the high-pressure
hose for lifting loads.
Do not continue to use the clea-
ner if the mains power lead or
high-pressure hose is damaged.
Ensure an adequate air circula-
tion. Do not cover the cleaner or
operate it in inadequately ventila-
ted rooms!
If the overload protection device
trips (motor cuts out), release the
trigger of the spray gun, insert
the trigger locking device and
turn the ON/OFF switch to positi-
on „O". Allow the cleaner to cool
down for at least 3 minutes!
Store the cleaner where it will not
be exposed to frost!
Never operate the cleaner wit-
hout water. Even brief shortages
of water result in severe damage
to the pump seals.
The pressure-bearing parts of
this high-pressure cleaner have
been manufactured in
accordance with § 9 of the Ger-
man Pressure Vessels Ordinance
and successfully subjected to a
pressure test.
