OPERATION
WARNING:
Never touch the rotating brushes or place any body part
in front of the sweeper when the unit is operating or when
the unit is plugged in or has a battery installed. Always
ensure all moving parts have stopped and the sweeper
has been unplugged, battery pack has been removed, or
spark plug wire has been disconnected before clearing
any obstructions. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Never operate the sweeper close to your feet. Keep the
sweeper a minimum of twelve inches from your feet at
all times.
 Ensure the rotating brush has come to a complete stop
before setting the sweeper down.

Work in one direction. Start the sweeper attachment and
walk slowly behind the sweeper, cleaning as you go.
Do
not pull the unit towards you during operation. Release
the throttle or trigger to stop the rotation of the brushes.
Return to the starting point to begin sweeping another
strip.
WARNING:
Do not use the sweeper on raised obstacles. Striking any
raised obstacle while using the sweeper could damage
the unit. If contact does occur and results in damage
or vibration when operating the sweeper, stop and
discontinue use. Continuing to operate a damaged unit
could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine or motor, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from
spark plug, disconnect from power supply, or remove the
battery pack. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious personal injury or property damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing and breathing
protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being
thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
WARNING:
When servicing, use replacement parts that meet or
exceed original product specifications. Use of any other
parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.
