a risk of suffocation!
m WARNING
• According to applicable regulations, the appliance
must never be used on the drinking water net with-
out a system separator. Ensure that the connec-
tion of your building water installation on which the
high-pressure cleaner is operated is equipped with
a system separator pursuant to EN 12729 Type BA.
• Water that has flown through a system separator
is no longer classified as drinking water.
• High-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings are
important for the safety of the appliance. Only use
high-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.

can develop. Inhaling aerosols can cause health
damage. Depending on the application, completely
shielded nozzles (e.g. surface cleaner) that signifi-
cantly reduce the emission of aqueous aerosols
can be used for high-pressure cleaning. The use
of such shielding is not possible with all applica-
tions.If the use of a completely shielded nozzle is
not possible, a respirator of the category FFP 2 or
the like should be used, depending on the environ-
ment to be cleaned.
