RISK OF INJURY FROM SPRAY
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RISK TO FLUID INJECTION
High velocity fluid spray can cause
objects to break, propelling
particles at high speed.
Light or unsecured objects can
become hazardous projectiles.
Unsafe operation of your pressure
washer could lead to serious injury
or death to you or others.
The spray gun/wand is a powerful
cleaning tool that could look like a toy
to a child.
Reactive force of spray will cause
gun/wand to move, and could cause
the operator to slip or fall, or misdirect
the spray. Improper control of gun/
wand can result in injuries to self and
others.
Spray directed at electrical outlets
or switches, or objects
connected to an electrical circuit,
could result in a fatal electrical
shock.
Your washer operates at fluid
pressures and velocities high
enough to penetrate human and
animal flesh, which could result in
amputation or other serious injury.
Leaks caused by loose fittings or
worn or damaged hoses can result
in injection injuries. DO NOT
TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A
