What happens here

When switching nozzle tips, always ensure the nozzle is pointed away from yourself and others, preferably towards the ground or a soft surface. Never point the nozzle at anything breakable. There can be significant pressure remaining in the line even when the machine is off, and a partially engaged tip can become a dangerous projectile if the trigger is pulled or the machine starts. Double-check that the new nozzle is fully and securely seated before operating the pressure washer.

Goal: Ensure safe handling when changing or checking nozzles.
