Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must not
be modified or bypassed.
The appliance switch prevents unintentional
operation of the appliance.
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun and
prevents the inadvertent start of the appli-
ance.
The high pressure hose is specially construct-
ed with reinforced walls to handle water pres-
sure up to 13 MPa (1900 psi) - it can be easily
damaged and should be stored carefully.
Do not kink.
Do not drive vehicles over the hose.
Do not expose the hose to sharp edges or
corners.
Misuse will lead to ballooning or premature
failure and will invalidate warranty.
When unpacking the product, make sure that
no accessories are missing and that none of
the package contents have been damaged. If
you detect any transport damages please
contact your dealer.
