fling foreign objects directly or by
ricochet a great distance. To reduce the
risk of eye and other injury always wear
proper eye protection (see the chapter
on "Proper Clothing") and ensure that
bystanders are at least 16 feet (5 m)
away. To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from such objects as vehicles or
windows. Any coworkers who must be in
the restricted area should also wear
goggles or protective glasses.
Stop the engine immediately if you are
approached.
WARNING
During work, check the tightness and the
condition of the sweeping attachment at
regular intervals with the engine and
attachment stopped. If the behavior of
the sweeping attachment changes
during use, stop the engine immediately
and check the attachment for cracks,
wear and damage. Replace cracked or
damaged sweeping attachments
immediately.
WARNING
Do not mount any sweeping attachment
to a machine without proper installation
of all required parts. Never use

Always stop the engine and make sure
that the attachment is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool. Do not attempt
any maintenance or repair work not
described in the instruction manuals for
your basic power tool and your Bristle

worn sweeping attachments.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws,
except the carburetor adjustment
screws, after each use.
Do not clean your machine with a
pressure washer. The solid jet of water
may damage parts of the machine.
Store the power tool in a dry and high or
locked location out of reach of children.
