Safety Notes

Before start-up please read these instructions!
Before using the machine please read the oper-
ating instructions for your unit and comply in
particular with these safety instructions.
The warning and information signs attached to the unit
provide important information for safe operation.
Apart from the information in the operating instructions
comply with the general safety regulations and regula-
tions for the prevention of accidents.
Power Supply
The voltage indicated on the rating plate must corre-
spond to the voltage of the power source.
Class 1 units may only be connected to properly earthed
power sources.
We recommend that this equipment is only connected
into a socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that
would be actuated by a 30 mA residual current.
Only use or replace power supply cables for this unit
which correspond to the types indicated by the manufac-
turer. See the operating instructions for the order no. and
types.
If the plug is damaged, pay attention to the following:
Plugs and sockets confirming to BS 4243 or BS 196
should be used wherever practicable. Domestic pattern
plugs to BS 1363 are not recommended but if their use
is essential those which have barriers or moulded chan-
nels inside should be selected so that if the earth conti-
nuity conductor is pulled out of its terminal it is unlikely to
be able to touch the phase terminal of the fuse carrier.
Domestic pattern plugs to BS 546 should not be used.
The wiring of the plug should leave more slack in the
earth continuity conductor than in the other cores, so that
it is not the first core to be pulled out of its terminal should
the cord grip fail. Plugs which have good grips capable
of maintaining a firm hold on the cable sheath should be
selected. In general, additional means should be pro-
vided to relieve stress on cable terminations in the plug.
For example, additional cable clamps should be fitted or
a substantial chain could be used to tether the machine
to a fixed point.
Plugs and sockets situated near the work site or out-
doors should be to class IP 55 of BS 5490 to provide ad-
equate protection against ingress of water, etc. and ca-
ble entries require effective sealing. Rubber shrouds
should be provided over cable glands. Drip-proof (class
IP X2 of BS 5490) plugs and sockets to BS 4343 are
suitable for use indoors where the plug is away from the
water spray area where the appliance is in use.
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cable or
extension lead, otherwise it may be damaged. Protect
the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
The extension lead must have a cross section in accord-
ance with the operating instructions and be protected
against splashed water. The connection must not be in
water.
When replacing couplings on the power supply cable or
extension lead the spray water guard and mechanical
stability must remain in tact.
Water connection
Comply with the regulations of your water supply com-
pany.
All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger
of bursting). A damaged high-pressure hose must be re-
placed immediately. Only use hoses and connections
recommended by the manufacturer.

Application
Before use, check that the unit and operating equipment
are in perfect condition and are safe to operate. Do not
use the unit if it is not in perfect condition.
Never draw in solvent-containing liquids, undiluted acids
or solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinners heating
oil. The sprayed vapour is highly flammable, explosive
and toxic; also acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as
these corrode the materials used on the unit.
The appropriate safety regulations must be observed
when using the unit in dangerous area (e.g. petrol sta-
tions). It is forbidden to operate the unit in potentially ex-
plosive locations.
The unit must be placed in on solid base.
Only use detergents recommended by the manufacturer
and comply with the application, disposal and warning in-
structions of the detergent manufacturers.
All current-conducting components in the working area
must be protected against splashed water.
The gun trigger must not be jammed in position during
operation.
Suitable protective clothing must be worn if necessary to
protect against splashing from some parts.
Never direct the water jet at people, animals, the unit or
electric components.
Vehicle tyres/tyre valves may only be cleaned from a min-
imum distance of 30 cm, otherwise the vehicle tyre/tyre
valve could be damaged by the high-pressure jet. The
first indication of this is a discoloration of the tyre. Dam-
aged vehicle tyres/tyre valves can be deadly dangerous.
Materials containing asbestos and other materials which
contain substances which are hazardous to your health
must not be sprayed.
Only use detergents which have been approved by the
manufacturer of the unit.
Detergents must not be used undiluted. The products
are safe to use as they contain no acids, alkalis or sub-
stances which are detrimental to the environment. We
recommend that the detergents are kept out of the reach
of children. If detergent comes into contact with the eyes
wash immediately with plenty of water and if swallowed
contact a doctor immediately.
Operation
The operator must use the unit in accordance with the
regulations. He/she must take local conditions into ac-
count and be aware of other people, especially children,
when operating the unit.
The unit may only be used by authorised persons who
have received training or have demonstrated their ability
to operate the unit. The unit must not be operated by chil-
dren or juveniles (danger of accidents due to incorrect
use of the unit).
The unit must never be left unsupervised while the motor
is running.
The water jet from the high-pressure nozzle produces a
recoil on the gun. You should therefore hold the gun and
spray lance firmly.
Transport
Switch off the motor and secure the unit before transport-
ing.
Maintenance
Switch off the unit prior to all cleaning and maintenance
work and before replacing components. Pull out the
mains plug if the unit is mains-operated.
Repairs may only be carried out by authorised BOSCH
Service Centres.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use accessories and spare parts which have been
approved by BOSCH. Original accessories and spare
parts guarantee that the unit can be operated safely and
without any breakdowns.
