Overflow valve with pressure switch
The overflow valve prevents the permissi-
ble working pressure from being exceeded.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released
the pressure switch turns off the pump, the
high pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is
pulled the pump is turned on again.

Environmental protection
The packing materials can be recy-
cled. Please dispose of packaging in
accordance with the environmental regula-
tions.
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable, recyclable materials
and often components such as batter-
ies, rechargeable batteries or oil, which - if
handled or disposed of incorrectly - can
pose a potential threat to human health and
the environment. However, these compo-
nents are required for the correct operation
of the appliance. Appliances marked by this
symbol are not allowed to be disposed of
together with the household rubbish.
Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, un-
derbody washes, may only be carried out
using washing stations equipped with an oil
separator.
Work with detergents must only be per-
formed on liquid-tight work surfaces
with a connection to the sewer system. Do
not let release detergent into waters or
earth.

Personal protective equipment
CAUTION Wear suitable protective
clothing and safety goggles to protect your-
self from water or dirt backsplash. Aero-
sols can be formed when using high-
pressure cleaners. Inhaling aerosols can
be harmful for your health. Depending on
the application, the use of fully shielded
nozzles (e.g. surface cleaners) can signifi-
cantly lower the emission of aqueous aero-
sols. Depending on the environment to be
cleaned, wear a suitable respiratory protec-
tive mask of class FFP 2 or comparable to
protect yourself from inhaling aerosols if the
use of a fully shielded nozzle is not possi-
ble.
