IMPORTANT SAFETY REGULATIONS
1. Check your machine for visible damage before every use (incl. cable, plug, hose and nozzle). Do not
use a machine that is damaged or did not work perfectly on the previous occasion, but take it to your
supplier for repairs/replacement.
2. The Voltage and frequency stated on the machine must correspond with those of the socket to be
used. The socket must be earthed. The electrical installations must be approved (IEC 60364-1) and
secured with an earth leakage switch (max. 30 mAmp.). Never alter the plug or socket in order to
make them fit! Faults in the electrical connection may cause electric shocks!
3. If an extension cable is unavoidable, use a cable of sufficient thickness: 1 mm² for cables to 12.5
metres, 1.5 mm² for cables to 20 metres and 2.5 mm² for cables to 30 metres in length. Unroll the
cable completely during use in order to prevent overheating. The female plug/socket must be
watertight and the connection must be kept dry and may not lie on the ground. Defective extension
cables are dangerous!
4. Take the greatest care when the machine is used near children, handicapped people or senior
citizens. Never leave them with a working machine unsupervised!
5. This machine is unsuitable for use by persons (including children) with a physical, sensory or mental
handicap, or with a lack of knowledge, regardless of whether there is supervision or instructions have
been given on the use of the machine by a person who is responsible for their safety. Ensure that
children cannot play with the machine.
6. Damaged components (incl. plug, electrical cable, hose and nozzle) must be replaced immediately
by an appropriately trained mechanic or a qualified electrician. Ensure that only original parts are
used – hoses and connectors are also extremely important for safety! Never carry out repairs!
7. Ensure that the machine is placed on a robust, even and horizontal surface during use and also
during transportation and storage. It may be damaged if it falls over!
8. Warning! The jet of the high-pressure cleaner can be dangerous if the machine is not used in
accordance with the instructions. Never point the jet at people or the user (also not to clean
clothing/footwear!), animals, electrical equipment or installations on the cleaner!
9. The user and persons who must be in the vicinity must wear protective clothing and footwear. We
strongly recommend that you use hearing protection.
10. Do not use the cleaner in circumstances or environments where there is a danger of explosions.
11. Always take the plug out of the socket when carrying out maintenance on the machine, before you
change the nozzle and when the cleaner is not in use. For that, take the plug in your hand. Never
operate plug and / or appliance with wet hands!
12. Water that has been in the machine, the hose or the nozzle is unsuitable for consumption.
13. Do not use the machine at temperatures exceeding 40°C or under 2°C, and keep it frost-free.
14. Never change anything on the machine, the jet lance, the nozzle or any other component.
15. Never cover the machine, jet lance, nozzle or any other part during use.
16. Switch the machine off immediately in the case of accidents or power failures.
17. Only spray clean water. If you spray water that may contain, for example, sand (from a well or similar
source) an extra filter must be installed.
