– This appliance must only be operated,
maintained and repaired by authorised,
skilled and trained personnel.
–
Only physically and mentally fit and relia-
ble people should operate and care for
this high pressure water jets (minimum
age 18). The operator or his representa-
tive must be certain that the operator is fa-
miliar with the appliance and its
application and that he will be able to per-
form the assigned tasks responsibly.
– Fatigue, health issues, influence by al-
cohol or medications lead to a higher
safety risk while operating the machine.
– For safety reasons, a second person
must always be present when the appli-
ance is being operated, in order to be
able to shut off the appliance in emer-
gencies and to summon help if needed.
– The local and relevant accident preven-
tion directives as well as other, general-
ly applicable safety, health and work
related regulations are to be observed.
–
The user is obliged to only operate the ap-
pliance while it is in flawless condition.
– Safety features on the appliance and
the spray unit must never be removed,
modified to made inoperable.
– Only use hose lines, spray units and ac-
cessories approved for the maximum
working pressure of the appliance.
– Hoses, pipes and connected accesso-
ries must be in good condition and in-
stalled properly.
– The application should not be operated
in explosive environments.
– If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-
eas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be
observed.
– During jet spray work, nobody besides
the operator is allowed in a radius of 10
m around the spray unit.
– Never direct the water jet on to persons,
animals, the appliance itself or electrical
components.
– Modifications of the set operating over
pressure on the appliance may only be
performed if previously agreed with the
operator of the spray unit.
– Risk of injury! The recoil pressure of the
spray pipe can throw you off-balance.
You may fall. The spray jet can fly off
and cause damage to persons. Search
a secure place to stand and hold the
gun firmly. Never hold on tightly to the
lever of the hand spray gun.
–
Risk of falling! Take precautions when
working on a scaffold, so that the person
does not fall from the scaffold due to the
recoil force generated by the appliance.
– For manual work with a spray gun, the
nozzle diameter must be selected so
that the recoil force in the longitudinal
axis does not exceed 250 N during
max. operating pressure. If the recoil
force 150 N, the spray gun must be
equipped with a body support as per
European standard prEN 1829. With re-
coil forces that exceed 250 N, the noz-
zle must be guided mechanically.+
– The recoil forces may be different if you
are using angular spray devices.
– Always monitor the displays during op-
eration. If the displayed values are not
correct, switch the appliance off imme-
diately and remediate the cause of the
malfunction.

– Prevent unauthorised personnel from
using the appliance by switching off the
key switch and removing the key.
– The appliance must be secured against
unauthorised use during work breaks.
– If the water stream is directed on
sound-amplifying objects, the noise
emission values may exceed the values
listed in the specifications.
– Any type of non-adherence as well as
resulting injuries to humans and dam-
age to materials lies in the responsibility
of the operator. Failure to observe
these warnings may result in injuries or
death of the operating personnel.
