Always use detergent in the
–
specified dosage – follow the
corresponding instructions for use
of the detergent.
Chemical detergents may contain
–
physiologically harmful (toxic,
caustic, irritant), flammable or
explosive substances. In the event
of skin or eye contact with
detergent, flush the affected body
parts with plenty of clean water
immediately. If detergent is
swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately. Note the
manufacturer's safety data sheets!
Before starting work
Do not connect the high-
pressure cleaner directly
to the drinking water
main.
Only connect the high-pressure cleaner
to the drinking water main in conjunction
with a backflow preventer – see "Special
accessories".
WARNING
If drinking water has passed
–
through the backflow preventer, it
can no longer be regarded as
drinking water.
Do not use the machine with dirty water.
If there is a risk that dirty water will occur
(e. g., flowing sand), an appropriate
water filter must be used.

Inspecting the high-pressure cleaner
WARNING
The high-pressure cleaner should
–
only be used if it is in full working
order – risk of accident!
It must be possible to move the
–
switch to the 0 position easily
The switch must be in the 0 position
–
Inspect the high-pressure hose,
–
spray attachment and safety
mechanisms for damage
High-pressure hose and spray
–
attachment in good condition
(clean, moving easily) and correctly
assembled
For good control of the machine, the
–
handles should be clean and dry
with no oil or dirt on them
Never attempt to modify the controls
–
or safety devices
Electrical connection
WARNING
Minimize the risk of electrical shock:
Voltage and frequency of the
–
machine (see rating plate) must
match the voltage and frequency of
the mains supply
Examine the power cord, power
–
plug and extension cord for
damage. Damaged cords,
couplings and plugs or power cords
that do not comply with the
regulations must not be used
Only connect the machine to a
–
correctly installed power socket
The insulation on the power cord
–
and any extension cord, the plug
and the coupling must be fully intact
Never touch the power plug, power
–
cord and extension cord and
electrical plug connections with wet
hands
WARNING
Route the power cord and extension
cord properly:
Observe the minimum cross-section
–
of the individual cords – see
"Connecting the machine to the
power supply"
Route and mark the power cord so
–
that it cannot become damaged and
no one is endangered – danger of
stumbling!
Use of unsuitable extension cords
–
can be dangerous. Use only
extension cords that are approved
for outdoor use and are
correspondingly marked and have a
sufficient cross-section
The connector and coupling of the
–
extension cord must be waterproof
and not lie in water
It is advisable to keep the plug
–
connection at least 60 mm above
the ground/floor, e. g. by using a
cable reel
don't let the cord rub against edges
–
or pointed or sharp objects
don't squeeze the cord under doors
–
or windows
