GENERAL PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY
DANGER – High-Pressure Spray
• NEVER point the gun at yourself, anyone else, or animals.
• The high-pressure water stream can cut through clothing, skin and underlying
tissues leading to serious injury.
• If this type of injury occurs, DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT. SEEK
EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. If you are using
cleaning detergents, be prepared to tell the physician exactly what kind.
• Spray guns can have significant kickback. ALWAYS brace yourself and have
firm footing when operating.
• NEVER attempt to repair high-pressure hose, fittings or gun. Always replace
parts if they are leaking or damaged.
• NEVER bypass the trigger assembly. This is an important safety feature of the
system.
• NEVER leave a running machine unattended.
• Use CAUTION even when the machine has been turned off. Pressure can be
trapped in the pump and hose assembly and still inflict injury or damage. After
turning the machine off, always squeeze the trigger to release any trapped
pressure.
• ALWAYS ensure all component connections and fittings are securely fastened.
High-pressure water can turn loose fittings or spray nozzles into projectiles
causing injury or damage.
• NEVER look directly into the gun or high-pressure hose.
• NEVER place your hand in front of the spray nozzle to test pressure.
DANGER – ELECTROCUTION
• NEVER spray near electric power source or cords.
• NEVER let run-off water pool and flow into power sources or cords.
WARNING – GENERAL SAFETY
• ONLY use cold water to feed into the machine. Unless specifically instructed
that the machine can use hot water.
• Check the work area to make sure it is clear of hazards and debris which can
be thrown by pressure spray causing injuries or damage.
• ALWAYS be aware of surfaces that will become wet and may become
slippery.
• ALWAYS have a secure grip of the gun and stable footing.
