2 Safety instructions
2.3 Concerning the
power supply
The appliance is operated with electrical power
which means there is always a risk of electric
shock. Consequently, particularly comply with
the following instructions:
Never touch the appliance plug with wet
hands.
Always pull directly at the appliance plug if
you want to disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Never pull the power cord, it might
break.
Take care that the power cord is not kinked,
pinched, or rolled over and ensure it does not
come into contact with heat sources.
Only connect the appliance to 3-pole safety
sockets.
Never immerse the appliance in water or
other liquids.
Only operate the appliance if your mains
voltage is the same as that indicated on the ap-
pliance’s type plate. The wrong voltage can de-
stroy the appliance.
Only use extension cables whose plugs and
sockets are water tight. In addition, extension
cables must have a conductor cross section of
at least 1.5 mm² (or 2.5 mm² from 10 m) and be
designed for the power input of the appliance.
The extension cable and the plug-in coupling
must never be in puddles of water. Do not use
multiple sockets or cable reels.
If the power cord of this appliance is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
their authorised service representative or a sim-
ilarly qualified person to avoid danger.
Before you clean or maintain the appliance,
switch off the appliance and pull the appliance
plug from the socket.

2 Safety instructions
2.4 Concerning the
jet of high-pres-
sure produced
The high-pressure cleaner cleans using a jet of
high pressure. This could indirectly or directly
lead to injury. So please observe the following:
Never direct the high-pressure jet at per-
sons or animals.
Never point the high-pressure jet at electric
or electronic parts, especially not sockets.
Only point a jet of high-pressure that is suf-
ficiently spread at tyres and valves.
Always hold the pistol with the attachment in
the direction of the surface to be cleaned.
Always look in the direction the pistol is
pointing.
If no water is coming out, never look into the
attachment or the pistol to find the cause.
Always ensure that the high-pressure hose
— as well as the electricity cable — are not sub-
jected to any loads. That means that the high-
pressure hose must not come into contact with
heat sources, oils or greases, be run over, bent,
squashed or subjected to excessive pulling
strain.
Check the high-pressure hose before each
use. Defective high-pressure hoses have to be
replaced by our customer services.
Always wear personal protective equipment,
ZChapter 2.10, “Concerning the personal pro-
tective equipment required“.
Ensure that persons without personal pro-
tective equipment are not in the area of use.
Prepare the location of use by removing
loose objects such as stones, shards and the
like.

17
2 Safety instructions
2.5 Concerning the
noise produced
If the pump is in operation and water is exiting
under high pressure, the appliance is very
noisy. The jet of high pressure might also pro-
duce more noise as it hits the object/surface to
be cleaned.
Always wear hearing protection.
Ensure that persons without personal pro-
tective equipment are not in the area of use.
Comply with the regulations regarding quiet
times and noise-producing machines at the lo-
cation of use.
2.6 Regarding how
to proceed in the
case of a defec-
tive appliance
Turn off the appliance immediately if you no-
tice strange sounds during operation or the
high-pressure jet stutters or comes out in
bursts.
Never use a defective appliance or operate
an appliance with a defective power cord. If the
power cord of the appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, their author-
ised service representative, or a similarly quali-
fied person to avoid danger.
Do not use the appliance if it has fallen
down, has been submerged in water or has ob-
vious signs of damage.
In each of these cases take the appliance to
a specialist dealer or our customer services to
be repaired (ZPage 64, “International Ser-
vice“).

2 Safety instructions
2.7 Concerning
intended use
The appliance is permitted to be used both
domestically and commercially (high-pressure
cleaner [M3300] only).
When used commercially there are many
more statutory safety requirements on the pro-
tection of users, see ZChapter 2.11, “Concern-
ing the obligations of the owner (for commercial
use)“ and ZPage 61, “Test protocol (for com-
mercial use)“.
Intended use of the
high-pressure cleaner
Only use the high-pressure cleaner to high-
pressure clean surfaces and objects that can
withstand the load of the jet of high pressure.
The high-pressure cleaner could be use to:
remove moss, algae and the like from pools,
plaster and other stone floors, paths, drive-
ways, etc;
clean unsensitive garden furniture, grates,
grills and the like;
clean unsensitive vehicles, commercial ve-
hicles, boats, caravans and the like;
clean blinds, venetian blinds, greenhouses
and unsensitive house facades and the like.
CAUTION:
Danger of material damage! Not all materials
and surfaces can withstand being cleaned
with a jet of high pressure. Find out before-
hand whether the surface can withstand the
high pressure and water. Never clean
objects where you are unsure whether they
can withstand the load.

19
2 Safety instructions
Intended use of the
wet/dry vacuum
cleaner
Only use the wet/dry vacuum cleaner with-
out the motor protection filter to vacuum up dirty
water, ZChapter 5, “Wet vacuuming“.
Only use the wet/dry vacuum cleaner with
the motor protection filter inserted to vacuum up
dry dirt, ZChapter 6, “Dry vacuum cleaning“.
Only use the wet/dry vacuum cleaner with
the motor protection filter inserted to blow out
small amounts of dirt, ZChapter 7, “Using the
vacuum cleaner as a blower“.
2.8 Concerning pre-
dicted misuse
Only use the high-pressure cleaner and the
wet/dry vacuum cleaner as intended, ZChapter
2.7, “Concerning intended use“.
Any other use is considered inappropriate and
is prohibited.
Particularly prohibited:
Use in the vicinity of explosive or highly-
flammable substances and in explosive atmos-
pheres. There is danger of fire or explosion.
To modify or repair the appliance yourself.
There is a danger of injury.
Storage outdoors and at freezing tempera-
tures or lower temperatures.
Operation of an appliance which is not
mounted completely.
The operation of an appliance that will not
stand up.
CAUTION:
Never connect cable reels or multiple sock-
ets to the service socket of the high-pressure
cleaner. Be sure to only connect appliances
with a power consumption of less than
1,200 W to the service socket of the high-
pressure cleaner.

2 Safety instructions
Misuse of the high-
pressure cleaner
Never direct the high-pressure jet at per-
sons or animals. Never point the jet of high
pressure at yourself of others to clean clothes
or shoes. Injuries would inevitably be the result!
Never point the high-pressure jet at electric
or electronic parts, especially not sockets.
There is a risk of electric shock!
Never clean sensitive surfaces or parts like
motors or bearings. The high-pressure jet will
damage sensitive parts or water will penetrate
where it should not.
Never clean the high-pressure cleaner your-
self with the high-pressure jet.
Never block the spray button to prevent it
from snapping back to the neutral position as
soon as it is released.
Never operate the high-pressure cleaner
without an attachment being attached to the
pistol.
Never operate the high-pressure cleaner
without it being connected to the water supply.
Never connect the high-pressure cleaner to
a drinking water mains without putting in a BA
intermediate backflow preventer. If this does
not help, seek professional help.
Water that has flowed through a backflow
preventer is not drinkable!
Never suck in explosive, flammable or even
slightly flammable liquids. Never spray flamma-
ble liquids. There is a risk of explosion!
