2. Safety regulations

Warning:
Never use the high-pressure cleaner with
inflammable, toxic or other such liquids as could
impair the correct operation of the high-pressure
cleaner. Risk of explosion or poisoning!
Never direct the water jet at persons, animals or
plants.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, never direct
the water jet at the machine itself, at electrical
parts or other electrical equipment.
Never use the high-pressure cleaner in the rain.
Risk of short-circuiting!
Never allow the high-pressure cleaner to be used
by children or unauthorized persons. Risk of
injury!
Never touch the plug or socket-outlet with wet
hands as this could result in electric shock!
Never operate the high-pressure cleaner when
the mains cable is damaged. Risk of electric
shock and short-circuiting!
Never operate the high-pressure cleaner with a
damaged high-pressure hose. Risk of bursting!
Never lock the pistol trigger in the ON position.
Risk of injury!
Never change or adjust the setting of the control
valve. Risk of bursting!
To avoid malfunctioning, never change the
original diameter of the water jet.
Never leave the high-pressure cleaner
unattended.
To avoid the risk of short-circuiting, do not carry
the high-pressure cleaner by the mains cable.

Safety precautions

To avoid short-circuiting, all live parts must be
protected against the water jet.
Connect up the high-pressure cleaner only to an
approved, earthed power source. An earth-
leakage circuit-breaker (30 mA) will provide
additional personal protection.
As the high pressure can cause parts to
rebound, always wear protective clothing and
goggles when operating the machine.
To prevent the high-pressure cleaner from
starting up by accident, always disconnect from
the mains before doing any maintenance or
repair work on the machine.
As the high-pressure jet has a kickback effect,
make sure you have a firm hold of the pistol
when pressing trigger.

3. General regulations

Please keep these instructions carefully for
future reference.
Seite 10
Observe the regulations of your local water
board. Under DIN 1988, the high-pressure
cleaner can be connected up to the drinking-
water supply only if the feed pipe is fitted with a
safety device to prevent backwater with
drainage.
The electrical parts must be serviced and
repaired only by a qualified electrician.
Always release the residual pressure before
disconnecting the hose from the high-pressure
cleaner.
Make sure the screwed parts are screwed on
tightly and check the other components of the
high-pressure cleaner for damage or wear and
tear both before use and at regular intervals.
Make sure that people and animals do not come
within 15 m of the high-pressure cleaner when in
use.
Before switching on the high-pressure cleaner,
make sure the water supply is in good working
order. Dry running will cause serious damage to
the seals.
Never pull on the mains cable in order to remove
the plug.
If the high-pressure cleaner is too far away from
the objects to be cleaned, do not move it by
pulling the high-pressure hose but instead use
the handle provided.
To avoid damaging the seals, do not operate the
high-pressure cleaner for longer than 1 minute
when the pistol is closed.
In the winter months, store the high-pressure
cleaner in a frost-free place.
Make sure the air vents are not blocked when
operating the machine.
The cross-section of the extension cable must be
in keeping with the length, i.e. the longer the
lead, the thicker the cable must be. Furthermore,
use only cables of the protection type „IP X 5".
The exact values are listed in the table.
