WARNING! Never allow children to use or be
in the vicinity of the machine. As the
machine is equipped with a spring-loaded
stop switch and can be started by low speed
and force on the starter handle, even small
children under some circumstances can
produce the force necessary to start the

personal injury. Therefore remove the spark
plug cap when the machine is not under
close supervision.
IMPORTANT!
A sweeper can be dangerous if used incorrectly or
carelessly, and can cause serious or fatal injury to the
operators or others. It is extremely important that you read
and understand the contents of this operator’s manual.
You must use approved personal protective equipment
whenever you use the machine. Personal protective
equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask
your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.

WARNING! Listen out for warning signals or
shouts when you are wearing hearing
protection. Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the engine stops.
