WORK AREA 1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite flammables. 3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
PERSONAL SAFETY 1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. 2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 3.
4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. 5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 6. Maintain tools with care. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean. Properly maintained tools are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool.
4. Use the right product for the right job. There are certain applications for which this product was designed. Do not use small equipment, tools, or attachments to do the work of larger industrial equipment, tools, or attachments. Do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not intended. 5. This product must continuously run with cold water only. Never use hot water. Dry running will cause serious damage to the seals.
17. This Pressure Washer requires a minimum water input flow of 3 gallons per minute. 18. When dispensing detergent, apply the detergent to the cleaning area at low pressure only. Then, spray the detergent off the cleaning area by using the adjustable Nozzle. 19. CAUTION: The high pressure water flow can damage the work surface if not used properly. Always test the spray in an open area first. 20. Never move the Pressure Washer by pulling on the High Pressure Hose.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS 1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.) 2.
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. 7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. 8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas. 9.
PRODUCT FEATURES AND PRECAUTIONS NOTICE: Prior to using the pressure washer for the first time, it is IMPORTANT that it has been determined that there is an adequate water supply. The Pressure Washer needs TWICE the volume of the stated water output (1.7 GPM). This Pressure Washer will need 3.4 GPM to operate correctly and efficiently. If the water is supplied by a well, make certain that the well produces enough water to keep up with the Pressure Washer’s water demand.
4. NOTE: The Pressure Washer will not pressurize if the Nozzle is not completely assembled. It will not work properly with only part of the Wand installed. 5. The Pressure Washer is equipped with a Trigger Safety Lock (25A). When the Pressure Washer is not in use, use the Safety Lock to avoid accidentally engaging the high pressure spray. To engage the Safety Lock, lower the Lever and snap it into the Trigger (23A). (See Figure E.
