• Only connect this machine to a supply circuit
protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a
tripping current of not more than 30mA.
•Disconnect from the electrical power supply before
carrying out user maintenance.
• Use only extension cords that have watertight
connections and are intended for outdoor use. Use
only extension cords having an electrical rating not
less than the rating of the product. Examine
extension cord before using and replace if
damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not
pull on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from
heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before
disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
• Do not use the appliance if a supply cord or
important parts of the appliance are damaged, e.g.
safety devices, high pressure hoses, trigger gun.
• Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch
plug with wet hands.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the product or to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
or grease.
2.3 EXTENSION CORD SAFETY
WARNINGS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance
from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord
that has the capacity to handle the current the product
will draw.
•An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
possibly resulting in overheating, loss of power,
and/or circuit breaker or GFCI tripping. Use the
chart to determine the minimum wire size required in
an extension cord.
Cord Length Wire Size (A.W.G.)
25 ft. 16
50 ft. Not Allowed
100 ft. Not Allowed
• When working outdoors with a product, use an
extension cord that is designed for outside use. This
type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on the
cord’s jacket.
•Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose
or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
• It is possible to tie the extension cord and power
cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming
disconnected during use. Make a knot, then connect
the plug end of the power cord into the receptacle
end of the extension cord. This method can also be
used to tie two extension cords together.
•This product has a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz.
• Do not operate this product on direct current (DC).
• A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat.
• If the product does not operate when plugged into
an outlet, doublecheck the power supply.
2.4 PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY
WARNINGS
• Do not direct the jet against yourself or others in
order to clean clothes or footwear.
•High pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to
misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
animals, electrical devices, or the machine itself.
• To ensure appliance safety, use only original spare
parts from the manufacturer or approved by the
manufacturer.
• Use only recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
• When servicing use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
• Do not use product if switch does not turn it off.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized
service centre.
• Do not use the appliance if a supply cord or
important parts of the appliance are damaged, e.g.
safety devices, high pressure hoses, trigger gun.
• Use correct product. Don’t force product or
attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don’t
use it for a purpose not intended.
• Never leave product running unattended. Turn
power off. Don’t leave product until it comes to a
complete stop.
• Keep the motor free of grass, leaves, or grease to
reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
• Keep the motor away from flammables and other
hazardous materials.
• Keep product dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any solvents to clean product.
• Do not use acids, alkalines, solvents, flammable
material, bleaches, or industrial grade solutions in
this product. These products can cause physical
injuries to the operator and irreversible damage to
the machine.
