During work
Warning!
– Never draw in fluids containing 
solvents or undiluted acids and 
solvents (e. g., gasoline, heating oil, 
paint thinner or acetone). These 
substances damage the materials 
used in the machine. The spray is 
highly combustible, explosive and 
poisonous.
Ensure you always have a firm and safe 
footing.
Beware of slipping on ice, water, snow 
or uneven ground!
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. 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 (such as 
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.
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. Consult a 
servicing dealer if in doubt.
Before leaving the machine: 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.
After finishing work
– Unplug the power plug from the 
socket
– Disconnect water intake hose 
between machine and water supply
The plug must be discon-
nected immediately if the 
cord is damaged – dan-
ger of electrocution!
Never direct the high-
pressure jet or water 
hose against the machine 
itself or against other 
electrical appliances and 
equipment – danger of 
short-circuiting!
Never direct the high-
pressure jet or water 
hose against electrical 
equipment, connections 
and power cords – dan-
ger of short-circuiting!
Never direct the high-
pressure jet against your-
self or other people, not 
even to clean clothing or 
shoes – risk of injury!
Switch off the 
machine before leav-
ing it!
