switching on the high-pressure jet.
2. Unlock the safety button and press the trigger on the handheld spray lance. It takes approximately 5
seconds to release the high pressure.
NOTE! Clogging of the spray tips causes the pump pressure to be too high and cleaning is immediately
required. You can clean the spray tips by carefully inserting a using the supplied cleaning pin into the

The declared vibration value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration value may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING!
The vibration emission value during actual use of the tool can differ from the declared value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used. Identify safety measures to protect the operator
that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running
idle in addition to the trigger time).
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and ear protection measures are
necessary.

Recycling and Disposal
Recycling and disposal
Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses and
packaging should be sorted, taken to the local recycling centre and disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.
Recycle rather than dispose of unwanted material in landll whenever possible. The machine
must be delivered in rigid packaging to avoid damage during transportation. The packaging
and the machine itself are manufactured from recyclable materials and should be disposed of
accordingly.
Only dispose of electrical/electronic/battery terms in separate collection schemes, which cater
for the recovery and recycling of materials contained within. Your cooperation is vital to ensure
the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.
Recycle packaging where facilities exist.
This symbol is known as the Crossed out Wheelie Bin Symbol. When this symbol is marked on a
product or battery, it means that it should not be disposed of with your general household waste.
Some chemicals contained within electrical/electronic products or batteries can be harmful to
health.
