tigued or under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs.
Keep operating area clear of all per-
sons.
Do not overreach or stand on unsta-
ble support. Keep good footing and
balance at all times.
Follow the maintenance instructions
specified in the manual.
WARNING
Risk of Injection or Injury – Do Not
Direct Discharge Stream At Persons.
High pressure jets can be dangerous
if misused. The jet must not be di-
rected at persons, animals, electrical
devices, or the unit itself.
Wear safety goggles.
WARNING
Risk Of Explosion – Do not spray
flammable liquids.
Do not use acids, alkaline, solvents,
or any flammable material in this
product. These products can cause
physical injuries to the operator and
irreversible damage to the machine.
CAUTION

use if cord is damaged.
Keep all connections dry and off the
ground.
Do not touch plug with wet hands.
Do not use extension cord with this

CAUTION
This unit has been designed for use with
cleaning detergents recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of other cleaning
detergents may affect the operation of the
machine and void the warranty.
WARNING
DO NOT SPRAY ELECTRICAL APPA-
RATUS AND WIRING.
DO NOT USE WITH FLAMMABLE LIQ-
UIDS AND TOXIC CHEMICALS.
HIGH PRESSURE. KEEP CLEAR OF

LIMITED TO SPRAY GUNS, HOSE
AND HOSE CONNECTIONS).
BEFORE SERVICING, CLEANING OR
REMOVING ANY PARTS, SHUT OFF
POWER AND RELIEVE PRESSURE.
IF CONNECTION IS MADE TO A PO-
TABLE WATER SYSTEM, THE SYS-
TEM SHALL BE PROTECTED
AGAINST BACKFLOW.
This product must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resis-
tance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrocution. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled by a qualified electrician. Do not
use any type of adapter with this prod-
uct.
몇CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the
water supply mains, local regulations of
your water company must be observed.
In some areas the unit must not be con-
nected directly to the public drinking wa-
ter supply. This is to ensure that there is
no feedback of chemicals into the water
supply. Direct connection via a receiver
tank or backflow preventer, for example,
is permitted.
Dirt in the feed water will damage the
unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend
fitting a water filter.
Garden hose must be at least 13 mm
or 16 mm (1/2 inch or 5/8) inch in di-
ameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 7.6 L/min. (2 GPM/gallons
per minute).
Flow rate can be determined by run-
ning the water for one minute into an
empty 20 litre (5-gallon) container.
The water supply temperature must
not exceed 40°C/104°F.
Never use the pressure washer to
draw in water contaminated with sol-
vents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oil, etc.
Always prevent debris from being
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source.

WARNING
To avoid serious injury never point
spray nozzle at yourself, other per-
sons or animals.
Always test an inconspicuous area
before cleaning with high pressure.
The Vario Power Spray Wand allows
you to adjust the cleaning pressure.
To clean at maximum pressure, the
wand must be positioned to the high
pressure setting (Max).
For lower pressure turn the wand col-
lar in the minus (Min) direction.
To apply detergent, the wand must
be positioned to the lower pressure
setting (Mix).
This nozzle features a 0º pencil jet
which rotates 360º for maximum dirt
cutting action, effectively increasing
cleaning performance up to 50%.
This nozzle combines the cleaning
performance of a 0º pencil jet with
the surface coverage of a wide angle
nozzle.
Not recommended for soft materi-
als, siding, painted surfaces,
decks or autos.
Before cleaning any surface an in-
conspicuous area should be cleaned
to test spray pattern and distance for
maximum cleaning results.
