Never touch the power plug, power cord 
and extension cord and electrical plug 
connections with wet hands.
Always check that the machine is in 
good working order before starting work. 
Pay particular attention to the power 
cord, mains plug, high-pressure hose, 
spray attachment and safety 
mechanisms.
Never operate the machine with a 
defective high-pressure hose – ensure 
that it is replaced immediately.
The machine may only be used when all 
parts are in perfect working order.
The high-pressure hose must not be 
driven over, pulled, buckled or twisted.
Never pull the high-pressure hose or the 
power cord in order to move the 
machine.
The high-pressure hose must be 
approved for the permissible excess 
pressure of the machine.
The permissible excess pressure, the 
maximum permitted temperature and 
the date of manufacture are stated on 
the cladding of the high-pressure hose. 
The permissible pressure and date of 
manufacture are specified on the fittings.
Accessories and spare parts
– High-pressure hoses, fittings and 
couplings are important for machine 
safety. Only high-pressure hoses, 
fittings, couplings and other 
accessories which have been 
approved by STIHL for this machine 
or technically equivalent parts may 
be mounted on the machine. 
Contact a servicing dealer if in 
doubt. Use only high-quality 
accessories, in order to avoid the 
risk of accidents or damage to the 
machine.
– STIHL recommends the use of 
genuine STIHL parts and 
accessories. These have been 
optimized for the product and the 
user's requirements.
Never modify the machine in any way, 
as this could be extremely dangerous. 
STIHL excludes all liability for personal 
injury and damage to property caused 
while using unauthorized attachments.
Physical suitability
The machine may only be operated by 
people who are fit, in good physical 
health and in good mental condition. If 
you have any condition that might be 
aggravated by strenuous work, check 
with your doctor before operating a 
machine.
Anyone who has consumed alcohol, 
medicines affecting their ability to react 
or drugs must not operate the machine.
Applications
The high-pressure cleaner can be used 
to clean motor vehicles, machines, 
tanks, facades or stables and to remove 
rust without dust or sparks.
Other uses are not permitted and may 
lead to accidents or damage to the 
machine. 
Clothing and equipment
Wear shoes with non-slip soles.
Transporting the machine
When transporting the machine in or on 
a vehicle, it must be secured, e.g. with 
straps, so that it cannot slip or tip over.
Antifreeze is recommended if the 
machine and accessories are to be 
transported at temperatures near or 
below 0° C (32 °F) – see “Storing the 
Machine".
Warning!
Wear goggles and pro-
tective clothing. STIHL 
recommends that a 
boilersuit be worn in 
order to reduce the risk of 
injury due to accidental 
exposure to the high-
pressure jet.
