zWear suitable
protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect yourself from
water or dirt backsplash. zAero-
sols can be formed when using
high-pressure cleaners. Inhaling
aerosols can be harmful for your
health. Depending on the appli-
cation, the use of fully shielded
nozzles (e.g. surface cleaners)
can significantly lower the emis-

be cleaned, wear a suitable res-
piratory protective mask of class
FFP 2 or comparable to protect
yourself from inhaling aerosols if
the use of a fully shielded nozzle
is not possible.
