or undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is
highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents as they are damag-
ing to the materials from which the ap-
pliance is made.
„ Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
„ The appliance must not be used if the
power cord or important parts of the ap-
pliance, e.g. high-pressure hoses, trig-
ger gun or safety devices are damaged.
„ Check the power cord and mains plug
for damage before every use. If the
power cord is damaged, please arrange
for it to be replaced immediately by an
authorised repair agent or a skilled elec-
trician
ṇ Warning
„ The mains plug and the coupling of an
extension cable must be watertight and
must never lay in the water.
„ Unsuitable extension cables can be
hazardous. Only use extension cables
outdoors which have been approved for
this purpose and labelled with a suffi-
cient cable cross-section: 1 - 10 m: 1.5
mm ; 10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm
„ Always fully unroll electrical cables from
the cable drum.
„ High-pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the
appliance. Only use high-pressure hos-
es, fixtures and couplings recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
„ Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange
for the immediate replacement of a
damaged high-pressure hose.
„ The appliance may not be used in areas
where a risk of explosion is present.
„ If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-
eas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be
observed.

rected at other persons or directed by
the user at him/herself to clean clothing
or footwear.
„ Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances
(e.g. asbestos).
„ Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscep-
tible to damage from the high-pressure
jet and may burst. The first indication of
this is a discolouration of the tyre. Dam-
aged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly
dangerous. Ensure that a distance of at
least 30 cm is observed when cleaning
with the jet!
Caution
„ This appliance is not intended for use by
persons with reduced physical, sensory

Safety Devices
Caution
„ In case of extended downtimes, switch
the appliance off at the main switch / ap-
pliance switch or remove the mains
plug.
„ Do not operate the appliance at temper-
atures below 0 °C.
Safety devices protect the user and must
not be modified or bypassed.
Power switch
The appliance switch prevents unintention-
al operation of the appliance.
Lock trigger gun
„ Observe a distance of at least 30 cm
when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.
„ Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
„ Make sure that the power cable or ex-
tension cables are not damaged by run-
ning over, pinching, dragging or similar.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun
and prevents the inadvertent start of the ap-
pliance.
Overflow valve with pressure switch
The overflow valve prevents the permissi-
ble working pressure from being exceeded.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released the
pressure switch turns off the pump, the
high-pressure jet ist stopped. If the lever is
pulled the pump is turned on again.
„ All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
„ The appliance may only be connected
to an electrical supply which has been
installed in accordance with IEC 60364.
„ The appliance may only be connected
to alternating current. The voltage must
correspond with the type plate on the
appliance.
„ The maximum tolerable mains imped-
ance at the electrical contact point (see
Technical Data) must not be exceeded.
„ For safety reasons, we recommend that
you operate the appliance only via a
earth-leakage circuit breaker (max.
30 mA).
„ Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, un-
derbody washes, may only be carried
out using washing stations equipped
with an oil separator.
„ This appliance was designed to be used
with detergents which are supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer.
The use of other detergents or chemi-
cals may compromise the safety of the
appliance.

ucts may lead to premature wear and can
invalidate your warranty claims. Please ob-
tain information at your local dealer or re-
quest information directly from KÄRCHER.
Î Use spray lance with pressure regula-
tion (Vario Power).
Î Turn off the appliance "0/OFF".
Start up
Caution
