1.2 General safety instructions

ATTENTION! When using electric tools, the following fundamental safety measures must be taken to prevent electric shock, injury or fire. Read all of these instructions before you use the electric tool, and store the safety in- structions properly. Service and maintenance: 1 Regular cleaning, maintenance and lubrication. Always pull the electrical plug before any adjustment, maintenance or repair. 2 Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original replace- ment parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device. Working safely: 1 Keep your work area orderly. A messy work area can cause accidents. 2 Consider environmental influences. Do not expose electric tools to rain. Do not use elec- tric tools in damp or wet environments. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of fire or explosion. 3 Protect yourself from electric shock. Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (such as pipes, radiators, electric stoves or cooling devices). 4 Keep other people away. Do not let other people — especially children — touch the elec- tric tool or its cable. Keep them away from the work area. 5 Store electric tools safely when they are not in use. Unused electric tools should be kept in a dry, high or closed area, out of reach of children. 6 Do not overload your electric tool. Work is better and safer within the performance range indicated. 7 Use the right electric tool. Don't use low-performance machines for heavy-duty jobs. Do not use the electric tool for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use a portable circular saw for cutting tree branches or logs. 8 Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as they can get caught in moving parts. When working outdoors, wear slip-resistant shoes. Wear a hairnet over long hair. 9 Use protective gear. Wear safety glasses. Wear a breathing mask during work that creates dust. 10 Connect the dust extraction equipment. If there are connections to dust extraction and collection equipment, make sure that they are connected and properly used. 11 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it was not intended. Never use the cable to pull the plug from the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges. 12 Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly. They will hold it more securely than your hand can. 13 Avoid abnormal postures. Make sure to stand securely and always keep your balance. 14 Maintain your tools with care. For better and safer work, keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Follow the instructions for lubrication and changing tools. Regularly inspect the elec- tric tool's connection cable, and if it is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized expert. Regularly check extension cords and replace them if they are damaged. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease.12 ENGLISH 15 Pull the plug from the socket. When not using the electric tool, before maintenance or when changing tools, such as saw blades, drills and cutting bits. 16 Do not leave any tool keys inserted. Before switching on, check to see that keys and ad- justment tools have been removed. 17 Avoid unintentional activation. When plugging the tool in, make sure that the switch is turned off. 18 Use outdoor extension cords. When outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved and appropriately marked. 19 Be alert. Pay attention to what you do. Approach your work sensibly. Do not use the electric tool when you are distracted. 20 Check the electric tool for damage. Before using the electric tool, you must inspect safety equipment or slightly damaged parts carefully to ensure that they work properly and as in- tended. Check to see that the moving parts operate freely and don't stick, and to make sure no parts are damaged. All parts must be mounted properly and meet all the conditions for ensuring trouble-free operation of the electric tool. Damaged safety equipment and parts must be properly repaired or replaced by a profes- sional facility, unless otherwise indicated in the user manual. Damaged switches must be replaced by a customer service facility. Never use an electric tool whose switch cannot be turned on and off. 21 Caution. Using other insertion tools and accessories may cause injury. 22 Have your tool repaired by an electrical expert. This electric tool meets applicable safety requirements. Repairs must be made only by an electrical expert using original replacement parts. Otherwise accidents many occur.

1.3 Special safety instructions

In accordance with DIN 1988-1 the devices must not be connected directly to the public drinking water supply. According to the DVGW (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water) short-term connection is, however, permissible if a return flow inhibitor with an aerator is fitted in the inlet pipe. Hose lines are to be guided in such a way that they are not pinched or damaged by bodies with sharp edges. Extended tensile and bending stress to the hose lines is to be avoided. The operator must ensure that the proper condition of the important parts and safety devices is checked every time before the fluid spray gun is put into operation. Any faults are to be reme- died before start-up. For pipe cleaning work do not switch on until the nozzle and the hose are inserted into the pipe until the mark on the pipe. Please also observe the “Guidelines for fluid spray guns“ and “Safety of electric devices for domestic use and similar purposes”. Never take in solvent-containing fluids such as paint thinner, petrol, oil or similar fluids. Observe the information provided by the manufacturers of the additives. The seals in the device are not solvent resistant. The atomised spray of solvents is highly inflammable, able to explode and tox- ic. This appliance was designed to be used with detergents which are supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other detergents or chemicals may compromise the safety of the appliance. The high pressure jet may not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself. Do not use the appliance when there are other persons around unless they are also wearing protective clothing. The high-pressure jet must not be directed at other persons or the user him/herself to clean clothing or footwear. Do not spray flammable liquids. The appliance must not be operated by children or persons who have not been instructed ac- cordingly.ENGLISH 13 High-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings are important for the safety of the appliance. Only use high-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

Please note! Be sure to read before use. Please observe the attached instruction manual with safety information on the petrol motor!

• A pump with 3 ceramic plungers running in an oil bath, run-dry safe, stainless steel valves, brass pump housing, leak refeed, pressure gauge with bar/psi scale, self-priming up to 2 m

• Integrated suction injector, solvent feed outside of the pump, thus no damage to the high- pressure seal. When using a washing lance (accessory item no.: 76068 / 76073) the high-pressure cleaners al- so serve to clean the surfaces of motor vehicles, buildings, machines, etc.

3.3 Start of operation (B)

The high-pressure cleaner must only be operated if all information on the safety of people and the machine is observed!

The machines must not be positioned and operated in rooms subject to fire and explosion hazards or in puddles. The devices must not be operated under water!

Water connection facilities (ill. B-1) Use the hose clamp to fasten the water hose to the suction connection (A) on the pump.

Please note: only use clean water!

Connect the water hose to the water supply and turn on the tap. The amount of water must be adequate for the respective high-pressure cleaner type. When drawing water in from a water tank, fasten the water intake hose (accessory item no.: 76066) to the intake adaptor (A) on the pump by means of the cap nut and insert the sieve (B) into the water tank.

Please note: do not draw in dirty water. Sieve on the intake hose!

The maximum suction height is 2 m. The maximum water temperature amounts to 60°C.

Please observe the regulations of the water distribution company!

Plug the line cord plug into the socket (except on HD 19/180B). Please observe the necessary fuse protection in accordance with the current consumption of the devices. When using cable drums, be sure to unwind the cable completely! Unroll the high pressure hose with nozzle loop-free and lead it into the pipe to be cleaned at least up to the marking. When using a washing lance (accessory item no.: 76068/76073) please connect this to the high- pressure hose by means of an adaptor. In doing so remove the dead man’s switch (10) with connecting hose (12) and connect the connecting hose (7) to the reel connection (11). Switch on the device or actuate the motor (HD 19/180B) (see petrol motor instruction manu- al).

In doing so the high pressure hose with nozzle must at least be at the marking in the pipe and may only be removed after the device has been switched off.

Press the washing lance/dead man’s switch in order to activate the spray of liquid.ENGLISH 15 The on/off switch serves simultaneously as the motor-circuit switch and shuts down if the set value (ampere) is exceeded. Pipe cleaning nozzles are to be used depending on the type of contamination. Use of chemical cleaning agents (ill. B-2) Area of application: Heavily contaminated surfaces of houses, motor vehicles, paving tiles, etc. Necessary for this application: Injector intake hose (accessory item no. 76067), washing lance with control nozzle (accessory item no. 76068 / 76073) and chemical cleaning agent. Remove the dead man’s switch (10) with connecting hose (12) and connect the connecting hose (7) to the reel connection (11). Slide the adaptor (A) of the injector intake hose onto the hose connection (3) and insert the chemical sieve (B) into the reservoir with the chemical agent. Connect the washing lance by means of an adaptor to the high-pressure hose and turn on the control nozzle (C). The injector will now draw in the cleaning agent. The chemical agent supply is shut down automatically when the control nozzle is closed. Allow the cleaning agent to act and rinse off subsequently at high pressure. Chemical agent supply only up to a maximum hose length of 20 m! In this connection please see accessory high-pressure hose 10 m (item no.: 72810) and 20 m (item no.: 72812).

Please observe the regulations of the manufacture of the additive (e.g. protective equipment) as well as the waste water regulations!
