your work area, particularlythose 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 the sweeper in confined work areas may put you

dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
