Safety Notes for pressure washer Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The warning and information signs attached to the unit provide impor- tant information for safe operation. Apart from the information in the op- erating instructions comply with the general safety regulations and regu- lations for the prevention of acci- dents. Connecting to the mains The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond to the voltage of the power source. We recommend that this equipment is only connected into a socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that would be actuated by a 30 mA residu- al current. This is a class I unit and may only be connected to properly earthed power sources. Remove the plug from socket when- ever the machine is left unattended for any period. The electric supply installation should comply with IEC 60364-1. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. If the plug is damaged, pay attention to the following: Plugs and sockets situated near the work site or outdoors should be to class IP 55 of BS 5490 to provide ad- equate protection against ingress of water, etc. and cable entries require effective sealing. Rubber shrouds should be provided over cable glands. Drip-proof (class IP X2 of BS 5490) plugs and sockets to BS 4343 are suitable for use indoors where the plug is away from the water spray area where the appliance is in use. Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.

Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cord or extension cord, otherwise it may be damaged. Pro- tect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not use the unit, if the power sup- ply cord or important parts, e. g. high-pressure hose, power gun or safety devices are damaged.

Warning: Inadequate extension cords

can be dangerous. If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight con- struction. The extension cord must have a cross section in accordance with the operating instructions and be protected against splashed water. The connection must not be in water. When replacing plugs on the power supply cable or extension lead the spray water guard and mechanical stability must remain intact. Water connection Comply with the regulations of your water supply company. All connecting hoses must have prop- erly sealed joints. The appliance should never be used on the drinking water supply without a back flow valve. Water which has passed the back flow valve is regard- ed as undrinkable. The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger of bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be replaced immediately. Only use hos- es and connections recommended by the manufacturer. High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the appliance. Use only hoses, fit- tings and couplings recommended by the manufacturer. Only clean or filtered water should be used for intake. Application Before use, check that the unit and operating equipment are in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do not use the unit if it is not in perfect condition. Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in order to clean clothes or footwear. Do not use solvent-containing liq- uids, undiluted acids, acetone or sol- vents! This includes petrol, paint thin- ners, heating oil. The sprayed vapour is highly flammable, explosive and toxic. The appropriate safety regulations must be observed when using the unit in dangerous areas (e. g. petrol sta- tions). It is forbidden to operate the unit in potentially explosive locations.

Only use detergents recommended by the manufacturer. Comply with the application, disposal and warning instructions of the detergent manu- facturers. All current-conducting components in the working area must be protect- ed against splashed water. The gun trigger must not be jammed in position “ON” during operation. Wear suitable protective clothing to protect against splash water. Do not use the machine in reach of persons, unless these are also wearing protec- tive clothing. If necessary wear personal protective equipment (PPE) e. g. safety goggles, breathing protection etc to protect against water, particles and/or aero- sols sprayed back from parts. During use of high pressure clean- ers, aerosols may be formed. Inha- lation of aerosols can be hazardous to health. High pressure may cause objects to rebound. If necessary wear suitable personnel protective equipment such as safety goggles. Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned from a minimum distance of 30 cm in order to avoid damages by the high-pressure jet. The first indica- tion of damage is the discolouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are dangerous to life. Materials containing asbestos and other materials which contain sub- stances which are hazardous to your health must not be sprayed. Detergents must not be used undilut- ed. The products are safe to use as they contain no acids, alkalis or sub- stances which are detrimental to the environment. We recommend that the detergents are kept out of the reach of children. If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, wash im- mediately with plenty of water and if swallowed contact a doctor immedi- ately. Never use the power washer with- out water filter, or with a contami- nated or damaged water filter. Us- ing the power washer without water filter or with a contaminated or dam- aged water filter shall void the war- ranty. Metal parts may become hot after prolonged usage, if necessary wear protective gloves. Avoid high pressure washing in bad weather conditions especially when there is a risk of lightning.

Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz (for non-EU countries 220 V, 240 V as applicable). For increased electrical safety use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD every time you use it. The supply cables must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or- der to avoid a safety hazard. Only use approved extension cables. WARNING! Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous. Extension cable, plug and sock- et must be of watertight construction and in- tended for outdoor use. Extension cords, cables, leads, reels should only be used if they comply with EN 61242/IEC 61242 or IEC 60884-2-7. If you want to use an extension cable when operating your product, only the following cable dimensions should be used: – Nominal Conductor Area of 1.5mm

to a max. cable length of 20m for a Cord Extension Set The connections (plugs and sockets) should be kept dry and off the ground. It is recommended that this is accomplished by means of a cord reel which keeps the socket at least 60 mm above the ground. Note: If an extension cable is used it must be earthed and con- nected through the plug to the earth cable of your supply net- work in accordance with prescribed safety regulations. Refer to the instruction manual of the extension cord, lead, reel manufacturer and your local wiring regulations. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or the nearest Bosch Service Centre.
