The tool can be plugged into any socket-outlet (with 230v -
240v AC) that is equipped with a 10A fuse or higher. The
socket-outlet has to be safeguarded by an earthleakage
circuit breaker (e.l.c.b.)or RCB plug. The operating current
must not exceed 30 mA.
• Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling
(extension).
• Secure the power cable (Fig. 7/Item A) with the strain-
relief clip (Fig. 7/Item 1) found on the equipment as
shown.
• To switch on the equipment hold the safety lockoff (Fig.
7/Item 6) and press and hold the ON/OFF switch (Fig.
7/Item 2).
• To switch off, release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 7/ Item 2).
One steel brush (Fig. 2/Item 8) and one nylon brush (Fig.
2/Item 9) are supplied with the equipment. The wire brush is
suited for use on robust surfaces and obstinate weeds. We
recommend using the nylon brush for light vegetation and
surfaces too sensitive for the steel brush.
Important. Always carry out a short trial run to check out
possible effects on the surfaces of the paving stones or
slabs before starting with your work. Never use the
equipment on very sensitive surfaces, for example tiles.
Important. Only use brushes which are in good condition.
Replace excessively worn or damaged brushes
immediately.
Always use both hands to operate the equipment. Guide the
equipment along the joints at a walking pace. For uniform
results carry out your work at a constant speed. If necessary,
guide the equipment along the same joint several times.
Warning
Do NOT use on loose surfaces such as gravel or soil, as
the spinning wheel will pick up stones and particles and
propel them. Take care to ensure the weed sweeper is not
used near cars or windows as they are in danger of flying
debris.
8. Cleaning and maintenance
Always pull out the power plug before starting any
cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing
free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down with
compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the equipment immediately
after you use it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents;
these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the interior
of the equipment.
• Clean the guard hood with a brush upon evidence of dirt
and grime.
8.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes
checked only by a qualified electrician. Important. The
carbon brushes should not be replaced by anyone but a
qualified electrician.
8.3 Servicing
There are no parts inside the equipment which require
additional maintenance.
9. Storage
Store the equipment and accessories out of children’s reach
in a dark and dry place at above freezing temperature. The
ideal storage temperature is between 5 and 30 °C. Store the
electric tool in its
original packaging.
10. Disposal and recycling
The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent it from
being damaged in transit. The raw materials in this
packaging can be reused or recycled. The equipment and its
accessories are made of various types of material, such as
metal and plastic. Defective components must be disposed
of as special waste. Ask your dealer or your local council.
Dispose of the appliance at the end of its lifespan at your
local household waste recycling centre.
