PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when oper-
ating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch/Trigger, or plugging
in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Always
wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles and thick rubber boots during use
and maintenance.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of
control. Only work on a workpiece that is properly secured. Holding any object
while it is pressure washed can cause serious personal injury by the high pres-
sure stream.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use
small equipment, tools, or attachments to do the work of larger industrial equip-
ment, tools, or attachments. Do not use this product for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
3. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be
replaced.
