2. Important Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the power washer. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

- IPX5 Waterproof Rating: The unit is designed to resist water ingress, ensuring safe operation in wet conditions.
- Dual Safety Locks: The spray gun features a trigger lock, and the unit includes wheel brakes for added security, especially in households with children or pets.

- Do not direct the water jet at people, animals, electrical devices, or the unit itself.
