WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications

provided with this appliance. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “appliance” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) appliance or battery- operated (cordless) appliance.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate appliances in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Appliances create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating an appliance. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) appliances. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the appliance. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. d) When operating an appliance outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. e) If operating an appliance in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating an appliance. Do not use an appliance while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating appliances may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting to source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying appliances with your nger on the switch or energising appliances that have the switch ON invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the appliance ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the appliance may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the appliance in unexpected situations. f) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of appliances allow you to become complacent and ignore appliance safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Appliance use and care

a) Do not force the appliance. Use the correct appliance for your application. The correct appliance will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the appliance if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any appliance that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliances. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally. d) Store idle appliances out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the appliance or these instructions to operate the appliance. Appliances are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain appliances and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the appliance’s operation. If damaged, have the appliance repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained appliances. f) Use the appliance, accessories and appliance bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the appliance for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. g) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the appliance in unexpected situations.

a) Have your appliance serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the appliance is maintained. Pressure Washer Safety

• Ensure that the water supply to the pressure washer is at a constant pressure. If the water supply is‘shared’byanotherappliance(e.g.washingmachine),ensurethattheotherapplianceis switched OFF

• The pressure washer should always be used in an upright position

• Be aware that the lance will produce a recoil force when the pressure washer is operated. Hold the lance securely

• Never direct the water jet at people or animals. The water jet is extremely powerful, and can cause serious injury. Do not direct the water jet towards the pump body, or other electrical equipment

• Handle the lance with care, do not allow the nozzle to strike the ground. Do not allow the hoses to be twisted, crushed, or strained

• Do not attempt to pressure wash any material suspected to contain asbestos

• When using detergents with pressure washers or cleaning oil and grease from surfaces, take responsibility for any contaminated waste water you may produce. Always consider the environment and the risk of polluting streams and other watercourses, plus the possibility of contaminants accumulating in the ground and soil. Try to use detergents sparingly—they are not always necessary. Contact your local environmental agency for how to deal with such waste water legally and responsibly 943676_Manual.indd 9 04/07/2019 16:06GB

Connect a hose from your water supply to the Inlet Hose ConnectorNotes:• Thespecicationlistssuitablewaterinletpressures.Atypical,normalUKhouseholdwatersupplycan range from 1–8bar pressure but 2–5bar is more typical. Do not exceed the maximum water pressurestatedinthespecication• If you do not know or are unable to measure the water pressure, keep the pressure low to prevent damage to the pressure washer. Aim to set the pressure at mid-point between the lowest and highest pressure accepted by the pressure washer. If preferred, a third party water pressure gauge is available that connects directly to the tap. This will allow the water pressure to be set more accurately• Do not connect to a hot water supply. This will prevent the pump from cooling and may damage the seals over time• It is important that a good water connection is maintained while operating a pressure washer as the pump will be damaged if run without water. Make sure the connections are secure before switching on the pressure washer Connecting to other water sources Note: The pump featured in this pressure washer features a self-priming feature that allows use of other water sources typically a water butt or other container of captured rain water or similar.• Ensurethewatersupplyiscleanandlteredbeforeenteringthepressurewasher.Ensurethereisno sediment• For water butts, where the output is at the bottom, gravity will provide some pressure to assist the pressure washer• The hose to the water supply should not exceed 3m in length and the diameter should not be less than 19mm or ¾” Filling the detergent bottle

Using your pressure washer
• To spray water, ensure you are holding the lance securely with both hands and squeeze the Trigger (17). Beware of slight recoil• TodisabletheTrigger,usetheTriggerLock(18)whennecessary(ImageJ)• The Nozzle (19) is adjustable for a wide fan pattern and a strong narrow jet by rotating (Image M)• Experiment with narrower patterns and different spray distances until the correct strength is achieved. Release the Trigger when changing the setting• Use the Pressure Adjustment (20) (Image M) to adjust pressure output. Release the Trigger when changing the setting• The pressure washer will protect the motor from over-heating if used continuously for too long, and will prevent the Trigger from operating. It will reset after cooling for a few minutes. It is recommended to have a work pattern that prevents the over-heating protection feature activating by not holding down the trigger continuously• If you are unsure of the durability of the surface that is being cleaned, avoid using the narrow jet setting. Reduce the pressure and start at a longer distance from the surface• It is recommended to hold the lance at an angle of 45° to the surface being cleaned. This will give maximum control, and most effective cleaning• Alwaystest-cleananinconspicuousarearsttocheckthatthecleaningprocessordetergentwillnot damage the surface being cleaned, especially mortar between bricks or patio slabs, which can be easily removed with a pressure washer if not careful Using detergent
• Many products are available that are suitable for pressure washers, including patio cleaners, glasscleaners,carshampoos,trafclmremovers,woodandplasticcleaningsolutions,andgeneral pressure washer detergents.• Fill the Detergent Bottle (11) with the required detergent solution• Dispense the detergent on a low pressure setting by adjusting the Pressure Adjustment (20) (ImageM),whichismarkedwith‘-‘and‘+’• Increase the pressure with the Pressure Adjustment and spray away the detergent with a clear sprayNotes:• Atypicalpatternofuseforusingdetergentfoamwouldberstcleaningwithwatertoremovelightsurfacedeposits,thenapplydetergentfoam,andthennallyrinseoffwithcleanwater• Detergent foam requires a few minutes to work when applied to surfaces. Normally for maximum cleaning, leave for 2–5 minutes between applying foam and removing with clean water, which is an ideal time to brush/scrub the surface where most dirt has collected. Do not allow foam to dry on the surface, for instance on a hot day there may be limited time between dispensing foam and rinsing off depending on the surface• Do not use detergents not designed for pressure washers. They may contain chemicals unsuitable for use with pressure washers that could damage seals• Read the instructions provided with the detergent thoroughly, especially if concentrated. Diluting tothedetergentmanufacturer’srecommendationswillensureeffectivecleaningwithoutusingexcessive detergent. As this pressure washer has a variable detergent ratio, set to a middle pressure setting and adjust the pressure downwards until a satisfactory detergent mixture is achieved Accessories
