Karcher K2.93 Pressure Washer User Manual


 
10 English
! Warning: Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are
susceptible to damage from the high-
pressure jet and may burst. The first indi-
cation of this is a discolouration of the
tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres or tyre
valves endanger life. Ensure that a dis-
tance of at least 30 cm is observed when
cleaning with the jet!
! Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, under-
body washes, may only be carried out
using washing stations equipped with an
oil separator.
! Observe a distance of at least 30 cm
when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.
! Never draw in fluids containing solvents
or undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is
highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents as they are aggres-
sive towards the materials from which
the appliance is made.
! Wear suitable clothing and goggles to
protect against back spray containing
water or dirt.
! Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
! Warning: This appliance was designed
to be used with detergents which are
supplied or recommended by the manu-
facturer. The use of other detergents or
chemicals may compromise the safety of
the appliance.
ƽ Electrical connection
! Make sure that the power cord or exten-
sion cables are not damaged by running
over, pinching, dragging or similar. Pro-
tect the power cords from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
! Never use a defective power cord or ex-
tension cable! If the power cord is dam-
aged it must be replaced with a special
power cord available from the manufac-
turer or his customer service.
! Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
! The connection between the power cord
and extension cable must not lie in wa-
ter.
! All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
! The appliance may only be connected to
an electrical supply which has been in-
stalled in accordance with IEC 60364.
! The appliance may only be connected to
alternating current. The voltage must
correspond with the type plate on the ap-
pliance.
! The minimum fuse rating required at the
sokket outlet is 10 A (slow-blow).
! To avoid accidents due to electrical
faults we recommend the use of sockets
with a line-side current-limiting circuit
breaker (max. 30 mA nominal tripping
current).
! Warning: Unsuitable extension cables
can be hazardous. Only use extension
cables outdoors which have been ap-
proved for this purpose and labelled with
a sufficient cable cross-section:
1 -10 m: 1.5 mm
2
10 - 30 m: 2.5 mm
2
! The plug and coupling of the extension
cable used must be watertight.
! Always fully unroll the extension cable
from the cable drum.
