GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Your PRESSURE WASHER has many features that
will make your job faster and easier. Safety,
performance and reliability have been given
top priority in the design of this tool, qualities
to make easy to maintain and to operate.
WARNING: Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all indications
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
SAFETY IN WORKING AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas may cause
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Some power
tools create sparks which may provoke fire.
Keep away observers, children and visitors
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

ELECTRIC SAFETY

Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
Avoid the body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. The precense of water into power
tools will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse of the power cord. Never use the
power cord to carry the tool and do not pull
the plug off the outlet. Keep the cable away of
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or
"W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
EXTENSION CORDS
Replace damaged cords immediately. The use
of damaged cords can shock, burn or electric
shock. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord
with adequate size conductors should be used
to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power
12
or overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to use, depending on cord length
and nameplate amperage rating of tools. In case
of doubt use the next heavier gauge. Always use
UL listed extension cords.
SIZE RECOMMEND EXTENSION CABLES

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Don't use the tool if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of unattention while operating power
tools may cause a serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away of moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
Avoid an accidental starting. Be sure that the
switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools
with the finger on the switch or plug in the tool
switch in ON may cause accidents.
Remove the adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that
is left close to a rotating part of the tool may
provoke a personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tools on
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
Before connecting the tool to a power source
(receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage
supplied is the same as that one specified on
the nameplate of the tool. To use a not specified
voltage may cause a serious injury to the user as
well as damage the tool.
