Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Work Area Safety

a)

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents

b)

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence

of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

c)

Keep children and bystanders away while operating. Distractions can cause you

to lose control

Electrical Safety

a)

Mains plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock

b)

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is earthed or grounded

c)

Do not expose the steam cleaner body to rain or wet conditions. Water entering

the steam cleaner will increase the risk of electric shock

d)

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging

the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock

e)

When operating the steam cleaner outdoors, use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric

shock

f)

Use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the

risk of electric shock

NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term

“ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

g)

Only connect to a mains socket if the voltage matches that of the rating plate

of the steam cleaner
