CORDLESS SWEEPER SAFETY WARNINGS Know your cordless sweeper. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this cordless sweeper. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury. Do not sweep chemicals, fertilizers, or any other toxic substances. Sweeping these materials can cause them to become airborne and could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool. This unit is for dry sweeping only. Do not use to clean up liquids. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the area of operation. Use care in directing discharge to avoid glass enclosures, automobiles, and the like. Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate while barefoot. Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing protection. Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury. Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury. For household use only. If the cordless sweeper strikes a foreign object, follow these steps: • Turn the cordless sweeper off and wait for the brushes to come to a complete stop. • Remove the battery pack. • Thoroughly inspect the cordless sweeper for any damage. • Repair any damage before restarting and continuing to operate the cordless sweeper. Do not lift up or hold the cordless sweeper above the ground when operating, which can result in loss of control and possible serious personal injury. Only operate the cordless sweeper in accordance with the operating instructions provided in this operator's manual. Keep the cordless sweeper and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your cordless sweeper. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic. Clean rotating brushes with warm soapy water.
