Never reach into the moving parts of the machine, whether the
machine is running or switched off. Always switch off the main switch
first. Take note of the warning plate.
In the event of malfunctions, stop the machine immediately and
secure it. Have any faults rectified immediately.
Before starting up the machine, make sure that nobody is placed at
risk by the running machine.
Do not loosen or retighten pressurised screw connections.
During and after completion of work, there is a danger of burns from
hot parts on the drive motor.
When carrying out maintenance work, remember that the drive motor
and the exhaust may still be hot. Allow them to cool down first. Work
with protective gloves.
A water jet is discharged from the high pressure gun at a maximum
pressure of 350bar, depending on the model. This presents a high
risk of injury.
When working with the high−pressure gun, wear your personal
protective equipment at all times.
Never direct the high−pressure jet at personnel.
The high pressure produces jet reaction forces. Make sure you have
a steady stance when working.
Never remove safety equipment or render it inoperable by modifying
the machine.
Safety equipment must only be repaired, adjusted or replaced by
technically qualified experts.
All equipment required for safety and accident prevention (warning
signs and information notices, cover grilles, covers, etc.) must be in
place. Such equipment must not be removed, modified or damaged.
Any safety devices removed for set−up, maintenance or repair
purposes must be refitted and checked immediately upon
completion of the maintenance and repair work.
