General Safety Rules

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Always wear eye protection marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 and use personal
protective equipment. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the OFF position before con-
necting to power source, picking up or car-
rying the pressure washer. Carrying pres-
sure washers with your finger on the switch
or energizing pressure washers that have the
switch ON invites accidents.
Watch your balance and footing while us-
ing your power washer. Surfaces become
slippery when wet and are extra slippery when
using a detergent or cleaner.
Do not operate the equipment while bare-
foot or when wearing sandals or similar
lightweight footwear. Wear protective foot-
wear that will protect your feet and improve
your footing on slippery surfaces.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the pressure washer in unexpected situ-
ations.
