Safety Notes for pressure washer
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury.
The warning and information signs attached to the unit
provide important information for safe operation.
Apart from the information in the operating instructions
comply with the general safety regulations and regula-
tions for the prevention of accidents.
Power supply
 The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond
to the voltage of the power source.
 We recommend that this equipment is only connected into
a socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that would
be actuated by a 30 mA residual current.
 Remove the plug from socket whenever the machine is left
unattended for any period.
 The electric supply installation should comply with
IEC 60364-1.
 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified per-
sons in order to avoid a hazard.
Bosch Power Tools
 If the plug is damaged, pay attention to the following:
 Plugs and sockets situated near the work site or outdoors
should be to class IP 55 of BS 5490 to provide adequate
protection against ingress of water, etc. and cable entries
require effective sealing. Rubber shrouds should be pro-
vided over cable glands. Drip-proof (class IP X2 of
BS 5490) plugs and sockets to BS 4343 are suitable for
use indoors where the plug is away from the water spray
area where the appliance is in use.
 Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
 Do not pull plug while operating the device.
 Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cable or ex-
tension lead, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect the ca-
ble from heat, oil and sharp edges.
 Do not use the appliance, if the power supply cable or im-
portant parts, e. g. high-pressure hose, trigger gun or safe-
ty devices are damaged.
 Warning: Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
 If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of
watertight construction. The extension cord must have a
cross section in accordance with the operating instruc-
tions and be protected against splashed water. The con-
nection must not be in water.
 When replacing plugs on the power supply cable or exten-
sion lead the spray water guard and mechanical stability
must remain intact.
Water connection
 Comply with the regulations of your water supply compa-
ny.
 All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
 Make sure that the supply hose is at least 12.7 mm (1/2")
in diameter and is reinforced.
 The appliance should never be used on the drinking water
supply without a back flow valve. Water which has passed
the back flow valve is regarded as undrinkable.
 The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger of
bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be re-
placed immediately. Only use hoses and connections rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
 High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important
for the safety of the appliance. Use only hoses, fittings and
couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
 Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake.
Application
 Before use, check that the unit and operating equipment
are in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do not use
the unit if it is not in perfect condition.
 Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to
clean clothes or footwear.
 Never draw in solvent-containing liquids, undiluted acids,
acetone or solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinners,
heating oil. The sprayed vapour is highly flammable, explo-
sive and toxic.
