DANGER Operation in explosive at-
mospheres is prohibited. Never suction
solvents, liquids containing solvents or un-
diluted acids. This includes e.g. petrol,
paint thinner or heating oil. The spray mist
is highly flammable, explosive and poison-
ous. Damaged wheels / tyre valves are
extremely dangerous. Damaged wheels /
tyre valves can be damaged by the high-
pressure jet and explode. The first sign of
this is discolouration of the tyres. Keep a
spray distance of at least 30 cm when
cleaning the wheels / tyre valves.
WARNING Do not use the device if
people without the proper protective cloth-
ing are in its reach. Do not aim the high-
pressure jet at yourself, e.g. to clean
clothes or shoes. Do not direct the high-
pressure jet at persons, animals, live elec-
trical equipment or at the device itself.
Do not spray any objects which contain
harmful substances (e.g. asbestos).
Check the device and the accessories,
such as the high-pressure hose, high-pres-
sure gun and safety devices, to make sure
they are in proper safe and reliable condi-
tion before each operation. Do not use the
device if it is damaged. Replace damaged
components immediately. Only use high-
pressure hoses, control panels and cou-
plings specified by the manufacturer.
Risk of scalding. When disconnecting
the supply or high-pressure hose, hot water
can leak out of the connections after oper-
ation.
CAUTION According to the applica-
ble regulations, the appliance may never
be used with the drinking water network
without a system separator. Ensure that the
connection to your house water system,
with which the high-pressure cleaner is op-
erated, is equipped with a system separator
according to EN 12729 type BA. Water
that has flowed through a system separator
is no longer classified as drinkable. Nev-
er leave the device unsupervised while it is
