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
instructed in its use and
who have been expressly
authorised 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
equipment 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
damaged!).
Operate the cleaner only in an
upright position!
Important notes:
Do not connect the cleaner
directly to the public drinking
water mains (observe
DIN 1988 and EN 1717).
A connection is permitted,
however:
• briefly 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
dangerous 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 firmly in both hands.
Risk of injury!
Do not direct the jet towards
yourself or towards other persons
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
flat 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
cleaner if the mains power lead
or high-pressure hose is
damaged.
Ensure an adequate air
circulation. Do not cover the
cleaner or operate it in
inadequately ventilated 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
position „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
without 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
German Pressure Vessels
