ply or high pressure hose, hot
water may leak from the con-
nections after operation.

 Mind the weight of the appli-
ance when selecting the stor-
age location and during trans-
port (see technical data) to
prevent accidents or injuries.

ṇ WARNING
 This appliance was designed
to be used with detergents
which are supplied or recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
The use of other detergents
or chemicals may compro-
mise the safety of the appli-
ance.
 The improper use of deter-
gents can cause severe inju-
ries or toxication.

protection of the user and
may not be modified or by-
passed.
ṇ CAUTION
 Wear protective clothing and
safety goggles to protect
against splash back contain-
ing water or dirt.
 During the use of high-pres-
sure cleaners aerosols can
develop. Inhaling aerosols
can cause health damage.
Depending on the applica-
tion, completely shielded noz-
zles (e.g. surface cleaner)
that significantly reduce the
emission of aqueous aero-
sols can be used for high-
pressure cleaning.
The use of such shielding is
not possible with all applica-
tions.
If the use of a completely
shielded nozzle is not possi-
ble, a respirator of the catego-
ry FFP 2 or the like should be
used, depending on the envi-
ronment to be cleaned.
