IMPORTANT SAFETY REGULATIONS
1. Check your machine for visible damage before every use (incl.
cable, plug, hose and nozzle). In particular, check the electrical
cable to imperfections or cracks. 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 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. Unroll the cable completely during use in order to prevent
overheating. 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.
Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous. 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!
