Risk of Electrocution!
DO NOT SPRAY ELECRICAL APPA-
RATUS AND WIRING.
To reduce the risk of injury, close su-
pervision is necessary when a prod-
uct is used near children.
Know how to stop the product and
bleed pressures quickly. Be thor-
oughly familiar with the controls.
Stay alert - watch what you are do-
ing.
Do not operate the product when fa-
tigued or under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs.

●Do not spray any objects which con-
tain harmful substances (e.g. asbes-
tos).
●Only use high-pressure hoses, con-
trol panels and couplings specified

Risk of Injection or Injury.
Do Not Direct Discharge Stream At
Persons.
몇WARNING
Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off-position
before picking up or carrying the de-
vice. Carrying the device with your
finger on the switch or energizing
device that has the switch on invites
accidents.
Have servicing performed by a qual-
ified repair person using only identi-
cal replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the device
is maintained.
몇CAUTION
●According to the applicable regula-
tions, the device may never be used
with the drinking water network with-
out a system separator. Ensure that
the connection to your house water
system, with which the high-pressure
washer is operated, is equipped with
a system separator according to
EN 12729 type BA.
●Recoil force from the water stream
emerging at the high-pressure noz-
zle acts on the trigger gun. Keep
proper footing and hold the trigger
gun and spray lance firmly.

몇CAUTION
Missing or modified safety devices
Safety devices are provided for your
own protection.
Never modify or bypass safety devic-
es.
Power switch
The power switch prevents uninten-
tional operation of the device.
Trigger gun lock
The lock locks the lever of the trigger
gun and prevents the device from start-
ing unintentionally.
Overflow valve with pressure
switch
The overflow valve prevents the per-
missible working pressure from being
exceeded. If the lever on the trigger
gun is released the pressure switch
turns off the pump, the high pressure
jet is stopped. If the lever is pulled the
pump is turned on again.
When connecting the water
inlet to the water supply
mains, the local regulations
of your water company
must be observed. In some
areas, the unit must not be
connected directly to the
public drinking water sup-
ply. This is to ensure that no
chemicals are fed into the
water supply. Direct con-
nection via a receiver tank
or backflow preventer, for
example, is permitted.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
This device is supplied with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built in-
to the power cord plug. This device
provides additional protection from the
risk of electric shock. If power is inter-
rupted in the line, the GFCI will auto-
matically re-close the circuit to the load
after power is restored. Depending on
the GFCI model, it may be necessary
to operate the reset button to restore
power to the GFCI load circuit. If re-
placement of the plug or cord is need-
ed use identical replacement parts.
Intended use
This high pressure washer (hereinafter
referred to as “device”) is designed for
domestic use only.
For cleaning machines, vehicles,
buildings, tools, facades, terraces,
gardening tools, etc. By means of a
high-pressure water jet (if neces-
sary, with additional cleaning
agents).
With accessories, replacement parts
and cleaning agents approved by
KÄRCHER. Please observe the in-
formation accompanying the clean-
ing-agents.
Environmental protection
The packing materials can be
recycled. Please dispose of
packaging in accordance with
the environmental regulations.
Electrical and electronic devic-
es contain valuable, recyclable
materials and often compo-
nents such as batteries, re-
chargeable batteries or oil, which - if
handled or disposed of incorrectly -
can pose a potential threat to human
health and the environment. However,
these components are required for the
correct operation of the device. Devic-
es marked by this symbol are not al-
lowed to be disposed of together with
the household garbage.

instructions relatives aux produits de
nettoyage.
Lorsque vous raccordez la
prise d’eau à la conduite
principale d’alimentation en
eau, vous devez respecter
les règlements locaux dic-
tés par la société de distri-
bution d’eau. Dans
certaines régions, l’unité ne
doit pas être raccordée di-
rectement au réseau public
d’eau potable. Il s’agit de
s’assurer qu’aucun produit
chimique ne contamine l’ali-
mentation en eau. Insérez
le raccord de tuyau d’arro-
sage dans la prise d’eau
jusqu’à entendre un
« clic », ce qui signifie que
le raccord de tuyau d’arro-
sage est bien en place.
Ce produit est fourni avec un dis-
joncteur différentiel de fuite à la terre
(DDFT) intégré dans le câble de puis-
sance. Cet appareil fournit une protec-
tion supplémentaire contre le risque de
choc électrique. En cas de coupure de
courant dans la ligne, le DDFT referme-
ra automatiquement le circuit de
charge une fois le courant revenu. En
fonction du modèle de DDFT, il peut
s’avérer nécessaire d’actionner le bou-
ton de réinitialisation pour restaurer le
courant du circuit de charge du DDFT.
En cas de besoin de remplacer la fiche
ou le câble, utiliser des pièces de re-
change identiques.
