4 Safety Precautions
￭ The water jet may detach asbestos fibers from surfaces.
Asbestos fibers may spread through the air after drying
and be breathed in. Breathing in asbestos fibers can be
harmful to health.
► Do not clean surfaces containing asbestos.
￭ The water jet may remove oil from vehicles or machinery.
The oily water may enter the soil, the water system or the
drains. That would create an environmental hazard.
► Vehicles or machinery should only be cleaned at places
where there is an oil trap in the water drain.
￭ In combination with leaded paint the water jet can form
leaded aerosols and leaded water. Leaded aerosols and
leaded water may enter the soil, the water system or the
drains. Inhaling aerosols can be harmful to health and
trigger allergic reactions. That would create an
environmental hazard.
► Do not clean surfaces that are painted or lacquered with
leaded paint.
￭ The water jet can damage sensitive surfaces. Damage to
property may occur.
► Do not clean sensitive surfaces with the rotary nozzle.
► Sensitive surfaces made of rubber, fabric, wood and
similar materials should be cleaned at a lower operating
pressure and from a greater distance.
￭ If while in use the rotary nozzle is immersed in dirty water
and then operated, the rotary nozzle may be damaged.
► Do not use the rotary nozzle with dirty water.
► If cleaning a container: Empty the container and allow
the water to flow away while cleaning it.
￭ Easily combustible and explosive liquids that are sucked
in can cause fires and explosions. Persons may be
seriously or fatally injured and property may be damaged.
► Do not suck in or spread easily combustible or explosive
liquids.
￭ Drawing in irritant, corrosive and toxic liquids can
endanger health and damage components of the high-
pressure washer. Persons may be seriously or fatally
injured and property may be damaged.
► Do not suck in or spread irritating, caustic or toxic
liquids.
￭ The strong water jet can seriously injure people and
animals and cause damage to property.
► Do not direct the water jet at places that are not fully
visible.
► Do not use the water jet to clean clothing while wearing
it.
► Do not use the water jet to clean shoes or boots while
wearing them.
￭ If electrical equipment, electrical connections, sockets
and live power cords come into contact with water, electric
shock may result. Persons may be seriously or fatally
injured and property may be damaged.
► Do not direct the water jet at the connecting cable or
extension cable.
￭ If electrical appliances or the high-pressure washer come
into contact with water, electric shock may result. The user
may be seriously injured or killed and property may be
damaged.
