DocumentDocumentRACPWS2 IMPORTANT! It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before assembling, operating, and maintaining the product. Subject to technical modification. Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your electric high pressure cleaner. INTENDED USE The electric high pressure cleaner is intended only for outdoor use. For safety reasons, the product must be adequately controlled by a two-handed operation. The product is designed for home or domestic use. It is intended to clean machines, vehicles, buildings, tools, facades, terraces, floors, and concrete walkways by removal of stubborn dirt using clean water with or without cleaning detergent. The product should be used in well-illuminated conditions. Do not use the product for any other purpose. WARNING! The product is designed for use with a neutral cleaning agent supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may adversely affect the safety of the product. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. The product is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Children should be adequately supervised to ensure they do not play with the product. Wear a complete personal protective equipment when operating the product, such as boots, safety gloves, safety helmets with visor, and hearing protection. Use high-impact visors only with liquid splash protection. WARNING! Do not use the product when people are within range unless they wear protective clothing. To reduce the risk of injury, keep children and visitors away. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept at a safe distance from the work area. Ensure that the safety devices are in good working condition. Make sure that all safety devices are operating properly before each use. Do not use the product if important parts such as safety devices, high-pressure hoses, or trigger gun are damaged. Exercise caution when opening the trigger. Hold the trigger handle firmly with two hands to avoid injury when the trigger handle kicks back. WARNING! During use of high pressure cleaners, aerosols may be formed. Inhalation of aerosols can be hazardous to health. Depending on the application, shielded nozzles can be used for high pressure cleaning, which will reduce the emission of hydrous aerosols. However, not all applications allow the use of such a device. If shielded nozzles are not applicable for the protection against aerosols, a respiratory mask of class FFP 2 or equivalent may be needed, depending on the cleaning environment. Always stop the product when you leave it unattended. High pressure jets can be dangerous if misused. Do not direct the jet to people, live electrical equipment, or the product itself. To avoid a risk of explosion, do not spray flammable liquids. Do not direct the jet against yourself or others to clean clothes or footwear. Do not use the product to clean electronic devices, clothes, or footwear. High pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings are important for the safety of the product. Use only hoses, fittings, and couplings recommended by the manufacturer. Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure to take regular breaks. CAUTION! The product must not be used on the drinking water supply without a backflow preventer. Water flowing through a backflow preventer is considered non-drinkable. Always observe the regulations of your local water 2 Original Instructions utility company when connecting the product to a water supply line. ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS The plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduces the risk of electric shock. Do not use the product if the power cord or other important parts, such as safety devices, are damaged. Check the power cord and the extension cord for damage before each use. If the power cord or the extension cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Before every use, examine the supply cord for damage. If there are signs of damage, it must be replaced by a qualified person at an authorised service centre to avoid a hazard. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands. Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous. If an extension cord is used, it shall be suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has to be kept dry and off the ground. Use a cord wheel to keep the socket at least 60 mm above the ground. The electric supply connection shall be made by a qualified electrician. It is recommended that the electric supply to this product should include either a residual current device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or a device that will prove the earth circuit. ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product in some operations. Check with your local authority for advice. Before each use, check the product for damage. A damaged high-pressure hose must be replaced immediately. Ensure that all connections, such as high-pressure hose and nozzle, are secure. Unwind the hose properly so that they may not get twisted or kinked. Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use the product. Before starting any cleaning operation, close doors and windows. Clear the area to be cleaned of debris, toys, outdoor furniture, or other objects that could create a hazard.

The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
