1.2 Safety Warnings
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or
injury to people, read the following:
•
This product is intended for domestic outdoor use
only.
•
The water spray must never be
directed towards any electric wiring,
devices, or directly towards the
pressure washer itself, or fatal electric
shock may occur.
•
The pressure washer should not be used in areas
where gas vapours may be present. An electric
spark could cause an explosion or fire.
•
Risk of explosion. When a combustible liquid is
sprayed, there can be danger of fire or explosion,
especially in a closed area. Therefore, do not spray
flammable liquids. Do not use acids and solvents
with this product either. These products can cause
physical injuries to the operator and irreversible
damage to the device.
•
Risk of electric shock. Inspect the cord before
using the device — do not use it if the cord is
damaged.
•
Risk of injury. Do not direct the water
flow at people. The high-pressure
jet can be dangerous if misused, and
therefore must not be directed at
people, animals, electrical devices or
the unit itself.
•
This device is capable of producing high pressure
as rated in the Technical Specifications. To avoid
rupture and injury, do not operate this machine
with components rated less than the unit itself
(including but not limited to spray guns, hose, and
hose connections).
