The lock locks the lever of the high-pressure gun and prevents the device from starting unintentionally.
If the lever of the high-pressure gun is released, the pressure switch turns off the pump and the high-pressure jet stops. The pump switches on again when the lever is pressed.
The motor circuit breaker shuts off the device if power consumption it too high.
![]() | Do not aim the high-pressure jet may at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or the device itself. Protect the device against frost. |
![]() | The device may not be connected to the public drinking water network. |
Use the high-pressure cleaner in private households only.
The high-pressure cleaner is intended for cleaning machines, vehicles, buildings, tools, façades, terraces, garden machines etc. using a high-pressure water jet.
The packing materials can be recycled. Please dispose of packaging in accordance with the environmental regulations.
Electrical and electronic devices contain valuable, recyclable materials and often components such as batteries, rechargeable batteries or oil, which - if handled or disposed of incorrectly - can pose a potential danger to human health and the environment.
