Danger
„
Never touch the mains plug and the 
socket with wet hands.
„
The appliance must not be used if the 
power cord or important parts of the ap-
pliance, e.g. high-pressure hoses, trig-
ger gun or safety devices are damaged.
„
Check the power cord with mains plug 
for damage before every use. If the 
power cord is damaged, please arrange 
immediately for the exchange by an au-
thorized customer service or a skilled 
electrician.
„
Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange 
for the immediate exchange of a dam-
aged high-pressure hose.
„
The appliance may not be used in areas 
where a risk of explosion is present.
„
If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-
eas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be 
observed.
„
High-pressure jets can be 
dangerous if improperly 
used. The jet must not be 
directed at persons, ani-
mals, live electrical equipment or at the 
appliance itself.
„
The high-pressure jet must not be di-
rected at other persons or directed by 
the user at him/herself to clean clothing 
or footwear.
„
Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances 
(e.g. asbestos).
„
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscep-
tible to damage from the high-pressure 
jet and may burst. The first indication of 
this is a discolouration of the tyre. Dam-
aged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are high-
ly dangerous. Ensure that a distance of 
at least 30 cm is observed when clean-
ing with the jet!
„
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.
Warning
„
The mains plug and the coupling of an 
extension cable must be watertight and 
must never lay in the water.
„
Unsuitable extension cables can be 
hazardous. Only use extension cables 
outdoors which have been approved for 
this purpose and labelled with a suffi-
cient cable cross-section: 
1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm
2
; 10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm
2   
„
Always fully unroll electrical cables from 
the cable drum.
„
High-pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the 
appliance. Only use high-pressure hos-
es, fixtures and couplings recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
„
This device is not intended for use by 
persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental abil-
ities or lacking experience and/or

by a person responsible for their safety 
or are instructed by these persons on 
the use of the device. Children should 
be supervised, to ensure  that they do 
not play with the device.
„
The operator must use the appliance

ance, he must consider the local condi-
tions and pay due care and attention to 
other persons, in particular children,
