Before start-up please read these instructions!

Before using the machine please read the operating in-

structions 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 regulations for the pre-

vention of accidents.

Power Supply

■ The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond 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 actu-

ated by a 30 mA residual current.

■ Only use or replace power supply cables for this unit which corre-

spond to the types indicated by the manufacturer. See the operat-

ing 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 channels inside should be selected so that if

the earth continuity conductor is pulled out of its terminal it is un-

likely to be able to touch the phase terminal of the fuse carrier. Do-

mestic 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 exam-

ple, 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 outdoors should

be to class IP 55 of BS 5490 to provide adequate protection

against ingress of water, etc. and cable 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 accordance with

the operating instructions and be protected against splashed wa-

ter. 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 company.

■ All connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.

■ The high-pressure hose must not be damaged (danger of burst-

ing). A damaged high-pressure hose must be replaced immedi-

ately. Only use hoses and connections recommended by the man-

ufacturer.

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 sol-

vents! This includes petrol, paint thinners heating oil. The sprayed

vapour is highly flammable, explosive and toxic; also acetone, un-

diluted 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 stations). It is forbidden to

operate the unit is potentially explosive locations.

■ The unit must be placed in a solid base.

■ Only use detergents recommended by the manufacturer and com-

ply with the application, disposal and warning instructions 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 minimum

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. Damaged 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 manufac-

turer of the unit.

■ Detergents must not be used undiluted. The products are safe to

use as they contain no acids, alkalis or substances which are det-

rimental to the environment. We recommend that the detergents

are kept out of the reach of children. If detergent comes into con-

tact with the eyes wash immediately with plenty of water and if

swallowed contact a doctor immediately.

■ Do not lift up the bonnet while the motor is running.

Operation

■ The operator must use the unit in accordance with the regulations.

He/she must take local conditions into account and be aware of

other people, especially children, when operating the unit.

■ The unit may only be used by authorised persons who have re-

ceived training or have demonstrated their ability to operate the

unit. The unit must not be operated by children or juveniles (dan-

ger of accidents due to incorrect use of the unit).

■ The unit must never be left unsupervised while the motor is run-

ning.

■ 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 of the motor and secure the unit before transporting.

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.

Centres.

■ Commercial units which may be used in different locations are

subject to a safety check according to VDE 0701.

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.
