GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
1. Keep the machine out of the reach of children.
2. High pressure water jets are potentially dangerous if used incorrectly. In particular,
the jet must not be directed against persons or animals, electrical equipment or
the machine itself. DO NOT USE the machine when persons and/or animals are
within the reach of the jet.
3. The user must operate the machine in safe conditions and situations avoiding any
situations of potential danger to himself or other persons. In particular the user will
have to:
- Avoid operating in unstable balance conditions.
- Remember that the high pressure jet generates a recoil when the gun is opened.
The force of this recoil is less than 3.0 pound-force.
- Use adequate protective clothing.
- Wear protective goggles and anti-slip rubber shoes.
- Avoid contaminating the environment with polluting, toxic or harmful substances.
4. This machine is build in compliance with the requirements of the current safety
regulations. The use of electrical appliances involves the respect of some basic
rules:
- Do not touch electrical parts or components.
- All operations of inspection, maintenance or repair must be made by qualified
personnel only. ALWAYS disconnect the plug before proceeding to any of the
above mentioned operations.
5. Do not pull power cord to unplug. Do not pull high pressure hose to move unit.
6. Before using the machine, inspect power cord to make sure it is not damaged. If
it is damaged, have it replaced by qualified personnel. Replace power cord only
with a cable of the same type as the original, this can be identified by the marking
on the outer sleeve. Do not damage or effect risky repair on power cord.
7. Before using the machine, inspect high pressure hose to make sure it is not
damaged. In case of replacement make sure the new hose has at least the same
specifications as the original. Technical specifications (maximum working pres-
sure, date of manufacture, name of manufacturer) must be marked on the outer
sleeve of hose.
8. While the machine is running, do not cover it and do not place it in an enclosed
space with insufficient ventilation.
9. Do not leave the machine running for more than 5 minutes with the gun closed.
Should it run for a longer period, the temperature of the recirculating water will
increase rapidly and could risk damaging the pump and pump seals.
10. When the machine is not in use, lock gun trigger in safe position to prevent it
from being opened by accident.
11. For the sake of safety use only approved spare parts and accessories.
