Other risks

Risk of explosion
Do not spray flammable liq-

uids.
Never draw in fluids contain-

ing solvents or undiluted ac-
ids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner
and heating oil. The spray
mist is highly inflammable,
explosive and poisonous. Do
not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents, as they
corrode the materials used on
the appliance.
The appliance may not be op-

erated in explosive atmos-
pheres.
If the appliance is used in

hazardous areas (e.g. filling
stations) the corresponding
safety regulations must be
observed.
Risk of suffocation
Keep packaging films away

from children, there is a risk of
suffocation!
Risk of injury
Check important compo-

nents, such as high-pressure
hose, hand spray gun and
safety installations, for dam-
age prior to every operation.
Immediately replace dam-
aged components. Do not op-
erate appliance with dam-
aged components.
The high-pressure jet must

not be directed at other per-
6
sons or the user him-/herself
to clean clothing or footwear.
Never use the appliance to

clean objects containing haz-
ardous substances (e.g. as-
bestos).
Vehicle tyres/tyre valves are

susceptible to damage from
the high-pressure jet and may
burst. The first indication for
this is a discolouration of the
tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/
tyre valves are perilous. Keep
a minimum jet distance of 30
cm during cleaning!
