To reduce the risk of fire/explosion resulting in serious or
fatal injury or property damage:
￭
Because of the high pressure and spray velocity, fluids
can penetrate the skin and cause fluid injection and/or
severe injury.
–
Do not direct the high-pressure jet into places you
cannot see.
–
Switch off the pressure washer, relieve system
pressure and lock the spray gun trigger before
