Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. CAUTION! The product must not be used on a drinking water supply without a backfl ow preventer that corresponds to EN 12729 Type BA. Water that has fl owed through a backfl ow preventer is considered non-drinkable. Always observe the regulations of your local water utility company when connecting the product to a water supply line. Do not connect the product to the public drinking water network. ■ The product is not intended to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or with lack of experience and knowledge. Children should be adequately supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product. ■ Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product to some operations. Check with your local authority for advice. ■ Wear personal protective equipment when operating the product, such as safety goggles and appropriate respiratory mask. ■ To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and bystanders away. All bystanders should wear safety glasses and be kept at a safe distance from the work area. ■ Ensure that the safety devices are in good working condition.

A respiratory mask of class FFP 2 or equivalent may be needed, depending on the cleaning environment. WARNING! Do not turn the nozzle while pulling the trigger. If the water is fl owing while the nozzle is turned, the relief channel releases the water. This is not a leak, but allows the water to escape without damaging the product. WARNING!

Do not direct the jet to people, live electrical equipment, or the product itself. ■ To avoid a risk of explosion, do not spray flammable liquids. ■ Do not direct the jet against yourself or others to clean clothes or footwear. ■ Hoses, fittings, and couplings are important for the safety of the product. Use only hoses, fittings, and couplings that are recommended by the manufacturer. ■ Before each use, check the product for damage. Damaged hoses must be replaced immediately. Ensure that all connections, such as spray wand and nozzle, are secure. Unwind the hose properly so that they may not get twisted or kinked. ■ Before starting any cleaning operation, close doors and windows. Clear the area to be cleaned of debris, toys, outdoor furniture, or other objects that could create a hazard. ENGLISH

They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for di󰀨erent applications, used with di󰀨erent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may di󰀨er. These conditions may signicantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned o󰀨 or when it is running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the e󰀨ects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
