4 Safety Precautions
￭ Dirty or sandy water can damage components of the
pressure washer.
► Use clean water.
► If using dirty or sandy water: Use a water filter with the
pressure washer.
￭ If the water supply to the pressure washer is insufficient,
components of the pressure washer may be damaged.
► Turn tap fully on.
► Make sure there is a sufficient supply of water to the
pressure washer, @ 18.
4.10 Connecting to the power supply
Contact with live parts can occur for the following reasons:
– The connecting cord or the extension cord is damaged.
– The mains plug of the connecting cord or extension cord
is damaged.
– The socket is not properly installed.
DANGER
￭ Contact with live parts can result in electric shock. The
user may be seriously injured or killed.
► Make sure that the connecting cord, extension cord and
their plugs are undamaged.
► Make sure your hands are dry before touching the
connecting cord, extension cord or plugs.
► Plug the mains plug of the connecting cord or extension
cord into a properly installed, fused socket with the
correct fuse rating.
► The mains connection must be carried out by a qualified
electrician and meet the requirements of IEC 60364-1.
It is recommended that the power supply to this
machine should either be connected via an earth
leakage circuit breaker, which interrupts the power
supply as soon as the leakage current to earth exceeds
30 mA for 30 ms, or has an earth tester.
￭ A damaged or unsuitable extension cord can result in
electric shock. People can be seriously injured or killed.
► Use an extension cord with the correct cross-section,
@ 18.2.
► Only use an extension cord which is splash-proof and
approved for outdoor use.
► Use an extension cord that has the same characteristics
as the connecting cord of the pressure washer,
@ 18.2.
► It is recommended to use a cable reel that holds the
socket at least 60 mm above the floor.
WARNING
￭ During operation, an incorrect mains voltage or incorrect
mains frequency may result in an overvoltage in the
pressure washer. The pressure washer may be damaged.
► Make sure that the mains voltage and the mains
frequency of the power supply match the data on the
rating plate of the pressure washer.
￭ Electrical components may be overloaded during
operation if more than one electric power tool is connected
to a multiple socket. The electrical components may heat
up and a fire may break out. This can result in serious
injuries or death and damage to property.
► Only ever connect one pressure washer to one socket.
► Do not connect pressure washers to multiple sockets.
￭ An incorrectly routed connecting cord or extension cord
may be damaged and people may trip over it. People may
be injured and the connecting cord or extension cord may
be damaged.
► Route the connecting cord and extension cord so that
the water jet cannot touch them.
► Route and mark the connecting cord and extension cord
so that people will not trip over them.
If the connecting cord or the extension cord is
damaged:
► Do not touch the damaged areas.
► Unplug the mains plug from the socket.
