Danger
Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the hands on
account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid
operation time, since this depends on sev-
eral factors:
– Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
glows yellow
cies (cold, numb fingers).
– Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
glows green
gloves to protect hands.
– A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
– Continuous operation is worse than an
operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of
the device and in case of repeated occur-
rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fin-
gers) please consult a physician.

stones or gravel may be flung forwards by
the roller brush. Make sure that this does
not endanger persons, animals or objects.

similar objects as this may damage the
sweeping mechanism.
Note: To achieve an optimum cleaning re-
sult, the driving speed should be adjusted
to take specific situations into account.
