Safety Information

Operating any pressure washer requires adherence to strict safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage. Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others.

• Read the Manual: Familiarize yourself with all controls and features before operation.
• Eye Protection: Always wear appropriate eye protection (safety goggles) when operating the pressure washer.
• Footwear: Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear to maintain balance and protect your feet.

Maintain a firm grip on the spray handle to prevent accidental release and ensure consistent pressure. If water injection occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
