1. Important Safety Instructions
Please read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating this product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
General Safety
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when operating the pressure washer.
- Do not direct the water jet at people, animals, electrical equipment, or the unit itself. High-pressure jets can be dangerous if misused.
- Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate the pressure washer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
- Ensure all connections are secure before operation to prevent leaks and maintain pressure.
Electrical and Battery Safety
- Use only the charger specified by the manufacturer for recharging. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
- When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
- Do not expose battery packs or appliances to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
- Do not immerse the battery or charger in water or other liquids.
