Keep the high-pressure 
cleaner as far away as 
possible from the object being 
cleaned.
The machine may only be 
operated in an upright position 
and on level surfaces. Do not 
cover the machine and ensure 
adequate motor ventilation.
Do not direct the high-
pressure jet against animals.
Do not direct the high-
pressure jet onto places you 
cannot see.
Children, animals and 
bystanders must remain at a 
distance.
Hazardous substances (e. g. 
asbestos or oil) must not be 
allowed to escape into the 
environment unchecked when 
working with the machine. The 
applicable environmental 
regulations must be observed 
without fail.
Surfaces of asbestos cement 
must never be cleaned with a 
high-pressure jet. Hazardous, 
breathable asbestos fibers 
may be released in addition to 
the dirt. The danger is 
greatest when the washed 
surface has dried.
Delicate parts made of rubber, 
fabric or  similar materials 
must not be cleaned with a 
pencil jet, e. g. from the rotary 
nozzle. Maintain a sufficient 
distance between the high-
pressure hose and the surface 
when cleaning to avoid any 
damage to the surface being 
cleaned.
The trigger on the spray gun 
must move easily and 
automatically return to its 
starting position when 
released.
Hold the spray attachment 
firmly with both hands in order 
safely to withstand the 
kickback force and additional 
torque produced when using 
spray attachments with 
angled spray lance.
Do not buckle or loop the high-
pressure hose.
Ensure that the power cord 
and the high-pressure hose 
are not damaged by being 
driven over, squashed or 
pulled; protect them against 
heat and oil.
Do not touch the power cord 
with the high-pressure jet.
If the machine is subjected to 
unusually high loads for which 
it was not designed (e. g., 
heavy impact or a fall), always 
check that it is in good 
condition before continuing 
work - refer also to the chapter 
"Before starting work". Also 
make certain that the safety 
mechanisms are working 
properly. Never continue 
using a machine that is not in 
perfect working order. In case 
of doubt, have the unit 
checked by your servicing 
dealer.
Before leaving the machine 
unattended: Switch off the 
machine – unplug the power 
cord.
Safety equipment
When the safety equipment is 
activated, excessive pressure 
is returned to the intake side 
of the pump via a safety valve. 
This safety feature has been 
set by the manufacturer and 
must not be adjusted.
