English
￭ Spraying certain materials with the water jet may produce
dust or a mist containing particulate matter capable of
causing respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects and
other serious harm.
– Never spray any surface containing lead paint.
– Never spray asbestos-containing materials such as
asbestos cement or asbestos siding. Hazardous,
breathable asbestos fibers may be released in
addition to the dirt.
– Consult governmental agencies such as EPA,
OSHA, CARB and NIOSH and other authoritative
sources on hazardous materials if you are unfamiliar
with the risks associated with the particular
substances you are spraying.
￭ Inhalation of certain dusts, especially organic dusts such
as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Substantial or repeated
inhalation of dust or other airborne contaminants,
especially those with a smaller particle size, may cause
respiratory or other illnesses.
– Control dust and mists at the source where possible.
– To the extent possible, operate the pressure washer
so that the wind or operating process directs any
dust, mist or other particulate matter raised by the
pressure washer away from the operator.
– When respirable dust or other particulate matter
cannot be kept at or near background levels, always
wear a respirator that is approved by NIOSH and
rated for worksite-specific conditions. Follow the
recommendations of governmental authorities (e.g.,
OSHA/NIOSH and occupational and trade
associations.

5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
￭ Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous and can cause
severe or fatal injury, respiratory illness or cancer,
including mesothelioma. The use and disposal of
asbestos-containing products is strictly regulated by
OSHA and EPA.
– Stop work immediately and contact the relevant
state and local authorities and/or EPA, your
employer or local OSHA representative if you have
reason to believe that you might be disturbing
asbestos.
5.8.4 Operating Instructions
WARNING
￭ In the event of an emergency:
– Switch off the motor immediately and disconnect the
pressure washer from the power supply.
￭ To reduce the risk of fire/explosion resulting in serious or
fatal injury or property damage:
– Never spray flammable or combustible
liquids.
– Never draw fluids into the pump that
contain solvents or undiluted acids (e.g.,
gasoline, heating oil, paint thinner or
acetone).
￭ Because of the high pressure and spray velocity, fluids
can penetrate the skin and cause fluid injection and/or
severe injury.
– Never direct the high-pressure jet toward
yourself or other persons, not even to
clean clothing or shoes.
– Do not direct the high-pressure jet
toward animals.
