WARNING
Machines shall not be used by children. Children should be
•
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
This machine is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
•
dren) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge.
This machine has been designed for use with the cleaning agent
•
supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other
cleaning agents or chemicals may adversely affect the safety of
the machine.
During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may be formed.
•
Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to health.
Depending on the application, shielded nozzles can be used
•
for high pressure cleaning, which will reduce the emission of
hydrous aerosols dramatically. However, not all applications
allow the use of such a device. If shielded nozzles are not appli-
cable for the protection against aerosols, a respiratory mask of
class FFP 2 or equivalent may be needed, depending on the
cleaning environment.
The employer shall perform a risk assessment in order to spec-
•
ify the necessary protective measures regarding aerosols,
depending on the surface to be cleaned and its environment.
Respiratory masks of class FFP 2, an equivalent or higher are
suitable for the protection against hydrous aerosols.
High pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet
•
must not be directed at persons, live electrical equipment or the
machine itself.
Do not use the machine within range of persons unless they
•
wear protective clothing.
Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to clean
•
clothes or foot-wear.
Risk of explosion – Do not spray flammable liquids.
•
High pressure cleaners shall not be used by children or
