OPERATION
The cleaner must be placed
upright
on a robust, flat and horizontal surface (handle on top). Never
place the machine in tall grass or similar locations!
Turn the On/Off switch to the OFF/O (Off) position.
Check that the specifications of the socket that you wish to use correspond with those on the type
plate of the machine. If this is the case, insert the plug into the socket.
Open the water supply completely.
Unlock the safety lock under the handle.
Now squeeze the trigger for several seconds in order to de-aerate the hose.
Switch the machine on by switching the On/Off button to I/ON. The motor will start briefly, but will
stop again as long as the trigger is not squeezed.
Point the nozzle at the ground and now squeeze the trigger
– the machine will start.
The automatic start/stop system means that the motor only works when the trigger is
squeezed.
The jet produced by the jet lance can be adjusted from narrow to wide by turning the head of the
lance. Never do this while spraying!
The turbo-lance creates a narrow rotating jet.
TIPS FOR USE
When the water jet leaves the nozzle it causes the handle to recoil. You must therefore ensure that
you are standing in a stable position and have a firm grip. Also ensure that the high pressure of the
water jet does not cause objects to move out of place or fall or fly around and cause damage. Also
select a safe location for yourself!
When you release the trigger of the jet nozzle the machine stops automatically. It will start again
when you squeeze the trigger.
If the electricity supply is below the required standard the indicated Voltage may decrease
momentarily when the machine is switched on. This may have an effect on other devices that are
connected (e.g. lights may dim). This will not occur if the impedance is lower than 0.335 Ohm.
Keep your work environment clean and tidy.
The high-pressure jet can cause damage to, for example, tyres if you move the jet too close. Always
maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm from the object to be cleaned! Always adjust the distance to
the object to be cleaned (and therefore the pressure) appropriately.
Work from the bottom to the top in the case of vertical surfaces.
Prevent water from splashing onto undesired places.
Do not move the cleaner by pulling the electrical cable. Do not lift the machine up with the cable.
Prevent damage to the cable caused by oil, solvents, sharp edges, etc.
Do not cover the machine during use.
Do not use the machine in an insufficiently ventilated room.
It is forbidden to clean surfaces containing asbestos with high-pressure.
If the machine is not used for longer than 5 minutes it must be switched off with the on/off switch.
SWITCHING OFF
Switch the machine off (Button to OFF/O).
Pull the plug out of the socket.
Close the water supply.
Allow any pressure to escape by squeezing the trigger until no more water comes out of the nozzle.
Close the safety lock on the handle.
