When using a steam cleaning machine, use protective clothes and safety glasses or a face shield and a protective helmet.

Hot steam can cause serious injuries.

Spilt fuel on a hot surface or electric parts can cause fire. Fire can consequently cause serious injuries.

Never place your head, body and arms under the parts of the machine which are not firmly fixed to the machine or secured against spontaneous fall.

If you need to perform repair or maintenance in areas which are not accessible from the ground, use ladder or a platform with stairs which comply with respective national regulations to reach the working area. Unless any platform with stairs or a ladder are available, use only handles and foot plates the machine is equipped with. By failure to observe these rules you expose yourself to the danger of injury by falling down of the machine.

Do not use petrol, diesel oil, thinners or other flammable liquids to clean parts of the machine. Use approved commercial solvents which are non-flammable and non-toxic.
