damaged while working with the pressure washer.

– Always keep the power supply cord behind the

operator and away from the water jet. Don't let the

power supply cord become entangled with obstacles

or objects.

￭ Operating the pressure washer with one hand is extremely

dangerous. One-handed operation makes it difficult to

oppose and absorb reactive forces (recoil) without losing

control of the pressure washer.To reduce the risk of

serious or fatal injury to the operator or bystanders from

loss of control:

– Never attempt to operate the pressure washer with

one hand.

￭ Because of the high pressure and spray velocity, fluids

can penetrate the skin and cause fluid injection and/or

severe injury. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries

to the operator or bystanders from loss of control, keep

proper footing and balance at all times:

– Take special care in overgrown or wet terrain and

always watch for hidden obstacles such as tree

stumps, roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid

stumbling or falling.

– Know where the power supply cord and water hoses

are at all times to avoid tripping or stumbling.

– Be extremely cautious when working on slopes or

uneven ground.
