Inadequate extension cords can be dange rous. If an extension cord is used, it shall be suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has to be kept dry and off the ground. It is recommended that this is accomplished by a cord reel which keeps the socket at least 60 mm above the ground. Switch off and unplug the machine when leav- ing it unattended, when nished using it or when converting it to another function, when doing repair and maintenance. During use of high pressure washers, aero- sols may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to health, for the protection against aerosols a respiratory mask of class FFP 2 or equivalent may be needed, depending on the cleaning environment. Intended use and terms of liability The 100, 200, 300 and 400 series have been developed for domestic cleaning pur poses only and for use in an upright position. Any other use is considered as improper use. A high pressure washer operates with different levels of pressure and cleaning detergents for various cleaning tasks and results. Always follow instructions on detergents for use, emergency and disposal. Do not operate the machine at temperatures below 0°C. Never start a frozen machine, never use it indoor and never cover it during use. This is considered improper and wrongful use. Use of wrongful pressure, detergent and/or applica- tions may cause damage to machine, surfaces, material and devices. All of the above is considered improper and wrongful use. Husqvarna accepts no liability for any damage resulting from any improper or wrongful use. Please refer to our website at www.husqvarna.com for further instructions and information on use, emergency and disposal. Safety devices and their functioning The machine automa tically stops when releasing the trigger. The machine will start again when reactivating the trigger. The spray handle features a locking device. When activated, the spray handle cannot be operated. The machine has an automatic self-resetting thermal protector. If the machine is overheated, the thermal protector will cut the power supply. In this case, wait for the machine to cool down. An integrated hydraulic safety valve protects the system from excessive pressure. Precautions The electric supply connection shall be made by a qualied electrician and comply with IEC 60364-1. It is recommended that the electric supply to this machine should include either a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a device that will prove earth circuit. Use motor start/delayed fuses with characteristic D accord- ing to IEC 947-2 or corresponding standards outside IEC. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized Husqvarna distributor or similar qualied person in order to avoid a hazard. No actions needed for adjusting machines marked with dual voltage and frequency. Supervise children not to play with the machine. The operator and any one in the immediate vicinity of the site for cleaning should take action to protect oneself from being struck by debris dislodged during operation. Always wear safety boots, respiratory mask, ear protection, goggles and protective clothing during operation. The high pressure generated by the machine is a particu- lar source of danger. Hold the spray lance rmly with both hands. The spray lance is affected by a kickback force and a sudden torque during operation. See PART 3:3 for the actual size of the kickback force. During transportation: Position the machine horizontally on the backside and secure with straps. Valid for model PW 235R Batteries may not be discarded together with household waste, but must be collected separately in accordance with local laws and regulations.
