Safety Devices
Safety devices are intended to ensure the
protection from injuries and must not be
modified or circumvented.
Overflow Valve with Pressure Switch
When the lever located on the trigger gun is
released, the pressure switch turns off the pump,
and the high-pressure jet comes to a stop. When
the lever is pulled, the pressure switch turns
the pump on again. In addition, the overflow
valve ensures that the admissible operating
pressure is not exceeded.
Safety Ratchet
The safety ratchet located on the trigger gun
ensures that the appliance is not switched on
inadvertently.
