WORK AREA

• Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause
accidents.

• Do not use your sweeper where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating the sweeper. Distractions can cause you
to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

• Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in

your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s

view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.

• Be alert of your surroundings. Using this sweeper in confined work areas may put you

dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Before use, check to make sure all the parts are in good working order.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the sweeper. Do

not use the sweeper while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating the sweeper may result in serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving

parts.

• Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields

which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask

in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety

shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the

tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the sweeper. The sweeper does a better and safer job when used in the manner

for which it is designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.

• Store sweeper properly. When sweeper is not is use, store it in a dry, secure place out of the

reach of children. Inspect for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

OPERATION

1. When using the sweeper outdoors, sweep in the direction of air as much as possible.

2. Adjust the height of the sweeper by turning the adjustable switch on the top (Part# 39) to a
