in any form. Do not use adaptor plugs together with protective-earthed
tools. Unmodied plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
e) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating
elements, stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if
your body is earthed.
Safety Instructions for Steam Wallpaper Strippers
Attention! When working with hot steam (min.100°C), there is a risk of serious scalding.
Hot steam and boiling water can emit when the safety valve (5 A) is activated
due to overpressure in incorrect operation of the unit.
Only change position during use, with care. The steam unit, hose and
steamplate can be very hot. Always wear suitable protective clothing / gloves.
Operate the unit only with pure water without agents or additives. Do not
switch the unit on when empty.
Never point the steamplate / bar at people, animals or at objects sensitive to temperature.
Always ensure that the unit is standing securely in a horizontal position (on the oor)
(Fig. 6).
Do not stand on or place objects onto the unit or steam hose. Never over-twist or make
kinks in the steam hose, and never block the valve. Only carry the unit by its handle. Never
pull on the steam hose or supply cord.
Never submerge the unit in liquid. Every time the accessory is changed for lling / relling
and emptying or when the steam unit is not in use (including work pauses), pull the mains
plug out of the socket-outlet. Never overll the unit. Unplug the mains plug in the event of
overlling or a fault. Use only EARLEX original spare parts and accessories!
