ted by strenuous work, check with your doctor
before operating a machine.
Do not operate the power tool if you have con‐
sumed alcohol or taken medication which may
impair responsiveness, or taken drugs.
2.2 Intended Use

and sweeper drum assembly are powered by

uids.
Never sweep up explosive dust, liquids, acids or
solvents.
Do not operate the machine in potentially explo‐
sive areas.
Do not use the machine as a transport medium.
Do not use the power tool for any other purpose
because of the increased risk of accidents and
damage to the power tool itself. The product

lead to accidents or damage to the unit.

rain or in wet or very damp environ‐
