Maintenance and repairs
Before starting any work on the 
machine:
always disconnect the machine from the 
mains power supply.
The machine must be serviced regularly. 
Do not attempt any maintenance or 
repair work not described in the owner's 
manual. All other work should be carried 
out by a servicing dealer. 
STIHL recommends that maintenance 
and repair work be carried out only by 
authorized STIHL dealers. STIHL 
dealers receive regular training and are 
supplied with technical information.
Use only high-quality replacement parts, 
in order to avoid the risk of accidents or 
damage to the machine. Contact a 
dealer if in doubt.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine 
STIHL spare parts. Such parts have 
been optimized for the machine and the 
user's requirements.
The power cable may only be repaired 
or replaced by authorized and qualified 
electricians.
General
The high water pressure 
generated by the 
machine and its electrical 
connections are a 
particular source of 
danger.
Read the entire user 
manual through carefully 
before starting the 
machine for the first time 
and keep it in a safe place 
for future reference. 
Non-compliance with these instructions 
can prove fatal.
Note all safety instructions specific to 
your country, such as those issued by 
the employers' liability insurance 
association, social insurance 
institutions, public authorities 
responsible for occupational safety and 
others.
The machine may only be used by duly 
trained and authorized operators.
Ensure that the user manual is available 
to all users.
The high-pressure cleaner must never 
be used by adolescents.
The machine must not be altered or 
modified in any way, as this may 
endanger your personal safety.
The high-pressure cleaner can be used 
to clean motor vehicles, machines, 
tanks, façades, stables and for removing 
rust without dust or sparks.
The machine must not be used for other 
purposes, otherwise it may be damaged 
and/or cause accidents. It must not be 
altered or modified in any way, as this 
may also lead to accidents or damage

High-pressure hoses, fittings and 
couplings are very important for the 
safety of the machine. Only use 
high-pressure hoses, fittings, couplings 
and other accessories which have been 
approved by STIHL for use on this 
machine or technically equivalent parts.
