WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the
time of exposure if necessary . If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop
using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct
level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool .
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip . Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition . If necessary,
limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves . Do not operate the tool
with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect . Use the
figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency
of operating the tool .
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used . There is the need to 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 declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another . The declared vibration total value may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure .
Sound levels in the specification are determined according to international standards.
The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained,
incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise and vibration .
www .osha .europa .eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may
be useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time .
Appliance Safety Warnings

not play with the machine . This machine can be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the machine in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this appliance. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "appliance" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) appliance or battery-
operated (cordless) appliance.
1) General Safety
a) Keep appliance away from heat, sharp objects, oil and other hazards.
b) Do not place the cord under carpets or other textile coverings such as clothes or dust
sheets.
c) Do not place the cord in areas where it may pose a trip hazard.
d) Do not use the appliance if the cable or plug is damaged.
e) Do not use the appliance if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any appliance that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
f) Ensure appliance is switched OFF before connecting to mains power supply.
g) Disconnect the plug from the source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
appliances. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
h) Store idle appliances out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the appliance or these instructions to operate the appliance. Appliances are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
i) Maintain appliances and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the appliance's operation. If
damaged, have the appliance repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained appliances.
j) Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be made
by children without supervision.
k) DO NOT use appliance in wet or damp conditions, such as in bathrooms.
l) DO NOT touch appliance switch, controls, cabling, plug or connection with wet hands.
m) When moving from one place to another, consider the weight of the machine.
2) Electrical safety
a) Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
appliance. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
c) When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this appliance is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
d) Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
e) Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. The
electric motor is designed for a single voltage only.

f) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
3) Service
a) Have your appliance serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the appliance is maintained.
Pressure Washer Safety
• Do not operate this appliance in the rain . Keep all electrical connections dry . Do not allow the
machine to become wet . Never allow water to enter ventilation holes .
• Always connect a backflow preventer (also called a non-return valve) between pressure washer
and potable water mains to prevent a backflow contaminating your water supply. Alternatively,
connect the pressure washer to a water butt or other stored water supply .
WARNING: Water that has flowed through backflow preventers is considered to be nonpotable.
• Do not attempt to use this machine in temperatures below 0°C .
• Always connect a 'continuous flow' clean water supply to the pressure washer. Running the
pressure washer dry, or with dirty water, will cause permanent damage to the pump .
• Never connect the pressure washer to a hot water supply; this will cause the pump to
malfunction and could result in permanent damage .
• Ensure that the water supply to the pressure washer is at a constant pressure . If the water supply
is 'shared' by another appliance (e.g. washing machine), ensure that the other appliance is
switched OFF .
• The pressure washer should always be used in an upright position .
• Be aware that the lance will produce a recoil force when the pressure washer is operated . Hold
the lance securely .
• Never direct the water jet at people or animals . The water jet is extremely powerful, and can cause
serious injury . Do not direct the water jet towards the pump body, or other electrical equipment .
• Handle the lance with care, do not allow the nozzle to strike the ground . Do not allow the hoses
to be twisted, crushed, or strained .
• Do not attempt to pressure wash any material suspected to contain asbestos .
• When using detergents with pressure washers or cleaning oil and grease from surfaces,
take responsibility for any contaminated wastewater you may produce . Always consider the
environment and the risk of polluting streams and other watercourses, plus the possibility of
contaminants accumulating in the ground and soil . Try to use detergents sparingly — they are not
always necessary . Contact your local environmental agency for how to deal with such wastewater
legally and responsibly .
• Never direct the water jet at people or animals . The water jet is extremely powerful and can cause
serious injury . Do not direct the water jet towards the pump body, or other electrical equipment .
• Do not use the machine within range of other people unless they are wearing protective clothing .
• Do not direct the jet against yourself or others to clean clothes or footwear .
• Risk of explosion; do not spray flammable liquids.
• High pressure cleaners shall not be used by children or untrained personnel .
• High pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the machine. Use only
hoses, fittings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.
• To ensure machine safety use only original spare parts from the manufacturer or parts approved
by the manufacturer .
• Do not use the machine if a supply cord or important parts of the machine are damaged, e .g .
safety devices, high pressure hoses or trigger gun .
• Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous . If an extension cord is used, it shall be suitable
for outdoor use, and the connection kept dry and off the ground . It is recommended that this is
accomplished by means of a cord reel which keeps the socket at least 60mm above the ground .
• Always disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any maintenance/cleaning .
• Always switch off the appliance at the mains when leaving the machine unattended .
