oors, and concrete walkways by removal of
stubborn dirt using clean water with or without
cleaning detergent.
The product can be used with turbo nozzle,
spray nozzle, wash brush, and surface
cleaner. The turbo nozzle is used for normal
cleaning. The spray nozzle is used for
cleaning surfaces that require spraying or with
the use of detergent. The wash brush is used
for effective cleaning of cars, bikes, or other
items that require spraying or with the use
of detergent. The surface cleaner is used for
cleaning and brushing surfaces.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.
WARNING
The product is designed for use with a neutral
cleaning agent supplied or recommended by
the manufacturer. The use of other cleaning
agents or chemicals may adversely affect
the safety of the product.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
re, and/or serious injury.
■The product is not intended for use by
children or persons with reduced physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge. Children
should be adequately supervised to ensure
they do not play with the product.
■Wear a complete personal protective
equipment when operating the product,
such as boots, safety gloves, safety
helmets with visor, and hearing protection.
Use high-impact visors only with liquid
splash protection.
CAUTION
The product must not be used on the
drinking water supply without a backow
preventer being installed that corresponds to
EN 12729 Type BA. Water owing through
a backow preventer is considered non-
drinkable. Always observe the regulations
of your local water utility company when
connecting the product to a water supply
line.
WARNING
Do not use the product when people are
within range, unless they wear protective
clothing.
To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and
visitors away. All visitors should wear safety
glasses and be kept at a safe distance from
the work area.
■Inspect the safety devices, such as safety
valves, flow switches, and pressure
switches to check if they are in good
working condition. Make sure all safety
devices are operating properly before each
use:
●On/Off switch
–The on/off switch prevents
unintentional operation of the
product.
●Trigger handle lock
–The trigger handle lock locks the
trigger and prevents unintentional
opening of the high-pressure jet.
●Overflow valve with pressure switch
–The overflow valve prevents the
permissible working pressure from
being exceeded. If the lever on the
trigger gun is released, the pressure
switch turns off the pump and the
high-pressure jet stops. If the lever is
pulled, the pump turns on again.
●Motor protection switch
–The motor protection switch
switches off the device if the power
consumption is high.
■Do not use the product if the important
parts are damaged, such as safety devices,

2
high-pressure hoses, or trigger gun.
■Exercise caution when opening the trigger.
Hold the handle firmly with two hands to
avoid injury when the handle kicks back.
WARNING
During use of high pressure cleaners,
aerosols may be formed. Inhalation of
aerosols can be hazardous to health.
WARNING
Depending on the application, shielded
nozzles can be used for high-pressure
cleaning, which will reduce the emission
of hydrous aerosols. However, not all
applications allow the use of such a device.
If shielded nozzles are not applicable for the
protection against aerosols, a respiratory
mask of class FFP 2 or equivalent may
be needed, depending on the cleaning
environment.
■Always stop the product when you leave it
unattended.
■High-pressure jet is dangerous if misused.
Do not direct the jet to people, live electrical
equipment, or the product itself.
■To avoid a risk of explosion, do not spray
flammable liquids.
■Do not direct the jet against yourself or
others in order to clean clothes or footwear.
■Do not use the product to clean electronic
devices, clothes, or footwear.
■High-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings
are important for the safety of the product.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed,
it is still impossible to completely eliminate
certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise during use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid
the following:
■injury caused by vibration
–Hold the product by the designated
handles and restrict working time and
exposure.
■injury caused by flying debris
–Wear eye protection at all times.
■injury caused by exposure to noise
–Wear hearing protection and limit
exposure.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from
handheld tools may contribute to a condition
called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness, and blanching of
the ngers, usually apparent upon exposure
to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold
and dampness, diet, smoking, and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms. There are
measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the product, wear gloves
to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is
reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■After each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation.
■Take frequent work breaks. Limit the
amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and
see your physician.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure to take
regular breaks.
