IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

SPRAY PRECAUTIONS:

DANGER: RISK OF INJECTION OR SEVERE CUTTING INJURY!
KEEP CLEAR OF NOZZLE! DO NOT DIRECT DISCHARGE
STREAM AT PERSONS OR PETS! ONLY TRAINED OPERATORS
SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT. WHEN OPERATING THIS UNIT,
BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. KEEP AWAY FROM THE SPRAY:
a. Because of the high pressure and velocity of the spray, fluids can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
b. Never point the gun at yourself or anyone else. Never put your hand,
fingers or body directly over the spray nozzle. Always keep operating
area clear of all persons. Use extreme caution when operating near
children.
c. If an accident does occur and the spray appears to have penetrated
the skin, SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. DO NOT TREAT AS
A SIMPLE CUT. If you are using cleaning agents, be prepared to tell
a physician exactly what kind.
2. ALWAYS wear protective goggles when operating the unit to shield the
eyes from flying debris and detergents. Other protective equipment such
as rubber suits, gloves and respirators are advisable, especially when using
cleaning detergents. Use extreme caution when operating near children.
3. Stay alert-watch what you are doing. Do not operate the unit when fatigued
or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
4. NEVER squeeze the trigger unless securely braced. The thrust from the
water traveling through the nozzle may be powerful enough to cause the
operator to lose balance if unprepared. DO NOT overreach or stand on
unstable support. Wet surfaces can be slippery, wear protective foot gear
and keep good footing and balance at all times. NEVER trigger the gun
while on a ladder or roof.
5. Caution should be used when directing spray toward fragile materials
such as glass. Shattering could result in serious injury.
6. ALWAYS hold on firmly to the gun/wand assembly when starting and
operating the unit. Failure to do so can cause the wand to fall and whip
dangerously. NEVER operate the gun with the trigger wired in the open
position. To prevent accidental discharge, the trigger gun should be
securely locked when not in use.
7. DO NOT direct spray on or into electrical installations of any kind! This
includes electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes, transformers, etc.
Severe electrical shock may occur.
8. Even after you shut off the unit, there is high pressure water left in the
pump, hose and gun until you release it by triggering the gun. Before
removing the spray nozzle or servicing the unit, ALWAYS shut off the unit
and trigger the gun to release trapped pressure.
