4 Safety Precautions
￭ The water jet may detach asbestos fibers from surfaces.
Asbestos fibers may spread through the air after drying
and be breathed in. Breathing in asbestos fibers can be
harmful to health.
► Do not clean surfaces containing asbestos.
￭ The water jet may remove oil from vehicles or machinery.
The oily water may enter the soil, the water system or the
drains. That would create an environmental hazard.
► Vehicles or machinery should only be cleaned at places
where there is an oil trap in the water drain.
￭ In combination with leaded paint the water jet can form
leaded aerosols and leaded water. Leaded aerosols and
leaded water may enter the soil, the water system or the
drains. Breathing in aerosols can be harmful to health and
trigger allergic reactions. That would create an
environmental hazard.
► Do not clean surfaces that are painted or lacquered with
leaded paint.
￭ The water jet can damage sensitive surfaces. Property
may be damaged.
► Do not clean sensitive surfaces with the rotary nozzle.
► Sensitive surfaces made of rubber, fabric, wood and
similar materials should be cleaned at a lower operating
pressure and from a greater distance.
￭ If while in use the rotary nozzle is immersed in dirty water
and then operated, the rotary nozzle may be damaged.
► Do not use the rotary nozzle with dirty water.
► If cleaning a container: Empty the container and allow
the water to flow away while cleaning it.
