English ■ Spraying certain materials with the water jet may produce dust or a mist containing particulate matter capable of causing respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects and other serious harm. - Never spray any surface containing lead paint. - Never spray asbestos-containing materials such as asbestos cement or asbestos siding. Hazardous, breathable asbestos fibers may be released in addition to the dirt. - Consult governmental agencies such as EPA, OSHA, CARB and NIOSH and other authoritative sources on hazardous materials if you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular substances you are spraying. ■ Inhalation of certain dusts, especially organic dusts such as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible persons to have an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Substantial or repeated inhalation of dust or other airborne contaminants, especially those with a smaller particle size, may cause respiratory or other illnesses. - Control dust and mists at the source where possible. - To the extent possible, operate the pressure washer so that the wind or operating process directs any dust, mist or other particulate matter raised by the pressure washer away from the operator. - When respirable dust or other particulate matter cannot be kept at or near background levels, always wear a respirator that is approved by NIOSH and rated for worksite-specific conditions. Follow the recommendations of governmental authorities (e.g., OSHA/NIOSH and occupational and trade associations. 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous and can cause severe or fatal injury, respiratory illness or cancer, including mesothelioma. The use and disposal of asbestos-containing products is strictly regulated by OSHA and EPA. - Stop work immediately and contact the relevant state and local authorities and/or EPA, your employer or local OSHA representative if you have reason to believe that you might be disturbing asbestos. 5.8.4 Operating Instructions WARNING ■ In the event of an emergency: - Switch off the motor immediately and disconnect the pressure washer from the power supply. ■ To reduce the risk of fire/explosion resulting in serious or fatal injury or property damage: - Never spray flammable or combustible liquids. - Never draw fluids into the pump that contain solvents or undiluted acids (e.g., gasoline, heating oil, paint thinner or acetone). ■ Because of the high pressure and spray velocity, fluids can penetrate the skin and cause fluid injection and/or severe injury. - Never direct the high-pressure jet toward yourself or other persons, not even to clean clothing or shoes. - Do not direct the high-pressure jet toward animals. 14 0458-620-8621-A

5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Spraying certain materials with the water jet may produce
dust or a mist containing particulate matter capable of
causing respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects and
other serious harm.
Never spray any surface containing lead paint.
Never spray asbestos-containing materials such as
asbestos cement or asbestos siding. Hazardous,
breathable asbestos fibers may be released in
addition to the dirt.
Consult governmental agencies such as EPA,
OSHA, CARB and NIOSH and other authoritative
sources on hazardous materials if you are unfamiliar
with the risks associated with the particular
substances you are spraying.
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially organic dusts such
as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Substantial or repeated
inhalation of dust or other airborne contaminants,
especially those with a smaller particle size, may cause
respiratory or other illnesses.
Control dust and mists at the source where possible.
To the extent possible, operate the pressure washer
so that the wind or operating process directs any
dust, mist or other particulate matter raised by the
pressure washer away from the operator.
When respirable dust or other particulate matter
cannot be kept at or near background levels, always
wear a respirator that is approved by NIOSH and
rated for worksite-specific conditions. Follow the
recommendations of governmental authorities (e.g.,
OSHA/NIOSH and occupational and trade
associations.
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous and can cause
severe or fatal injury, respiratory illness or cancer,
including mesothelioma. The use and disposal of
asbestos-containing products is strictly regulated by
OSHA and EPA.
Stop work immediately and contact the relevant
state and local authorities and/or EPA, your
employer or local OSHA representative if you have
reason to believe that you might be disturbing
asbestos.
5.8.4
Operating Instructions
WARNING
In the event of an emergency:
Switch off the motor immediately and disconnect the
pressure washer from the power supply.
To reduce the risk of fire/explosion resulting in serious or
fatal injury or property damage:
Because of the high pressure and spray velocity, fluids
can penetrate the skin and cause fluid injection and/or
severe injury.
Never spray flammable or combustible
liquids.
Never draw fluids into the pump that
contain solvents or undiluted acids (e.g.,
gasoline, heating oil, paint thinner or
acetone).
Never direct the high-pressure jet toward
yourself or other persons, not even to
clean clothing or shoes.
Do not direct the high-pressure jet
toward animals.
