pressure hoses, spray guns, are dam-
aged.

– Never draw in fluids containing solvents 

or undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating 
oil. The spray mist thus generated is 
highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted 
acids and solvents as they are aggres-
sive towards the materials from which 
the appliance is made.

– If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-

eas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be ob-
served. It is not allowed to use the appli-
ance in hazardous locations.

– The appliance must be sitting on an 

even, stable ground.

– Wear ear plugs if the operating instruc-

tions of the appliance (Technical data) 
mention a noise level of more than 80 
dB(A). 

– All current-conducting parts in the work-

ing area must be protected against jet 
water.

– The lever of the hand spray gun must 

not be locked during the operation.

– Wear protective clothing and safety 

goggles to protect against splash back 
containing water or dirt.

– High-pressure jets can be dangerous if 

improperly used. The jet may not be di-
rected at persons, animals, live electri-
cal equipment or at the appliance itself.

– The jet must not be directed at other 

persons or directed by the user at him/
herself to clean clothing or footwear.

– Vehicle tyres/ tyre valves may be 

cleaned only with a minimum spray dis-
tance of 30 cm. Otherwise, the high 
pressure spray can cause damage to 
the vehicle tyre/ tyre valve. The discol-
ouring of the tyre is the first sign of dam-
age. Damaged vehicle tyres are a 
source of danger.

– Do not spray materials containing as-

bestos or other health-hazardous sub-
stances. 

– With short spray lances, there is a risk 

of injury, as a hand can accidentally 
come in contact with the high pressure 
jet. If the spray lance is shorter than 75 
cm, you must not use a point spray noz-
zle or a rotor nozzle.

– Prior to cleaning, a risk assessment 

must be performed for the surface to be 
cleaned to determine the safety and 
health requirements. The respective re-
quired protective measures must be 
taken.

– Do not open the hood when the motor is 

running.

– Let the hoses cool off after hot water op-

eration or operate the appliance briefly 
using cold water.

– In case of extended downtimes, switch 

the appliance off at the main switch / ap-
pliance switch or remove the mains 
plug.

– The operator must use the appliance 

properly. The person must consider the 
local conditions and must pay attention 
to third parties, in particular children, 
when working with the appliance.

– Never leave the machine unattended so 

long as it is running. 

– The appliance may only used by per-

sons who have been instructed in han-
dling the appliance or have proven

ated by children, young persons or per-
