General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and /or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit- Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust- Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool- Distractions may cause an
accident.
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools- Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators- There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions- Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts- Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.

Enquiries: 0344 482 1107
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use- Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply- Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication- A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection- Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool- Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on can cause an accident.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on- A spanner or an allen
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tools may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times- This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts- Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used- Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application- The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off- Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools- Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool- Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use- Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean- Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed- Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts- This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Patio Weed Sweeper safety warnings
• Keep all parts of the body away from the weed sweeper brush. Do not remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when the brush is spinning. Make sure the machine is unplugged from the
power supply when clearing jammed material- A moment of inattention while operating the Patio
Weed Sweeper may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the Patio Weed Sweeper by the handle with the weed sweeper brush stopped. When
transporting or storing the Patio Weed Sweeper always fit the cutting device cover- Proper
handling of the patio weed sweeper will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Keep cable away from the sweeping area- During operation the cable may be hidden in between
slabs and can be accidentally cut or damaged by the weed sweeper brush.

VII. Operation
The tool can be plugged into any socket-outlet (with 230 V AC) that is equipped with a 10A
fuse or higher. The socket-outlet has to be safeguarded by an earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB). The operating current must not exceed 30 mA. Insert the tool plug into the power
cord coupling (extension). Secure the power cable (Fig. 7/Item A) with the strain-relief clip
(Fig. 7/Item 1) found on the equipment as shown. To switch on the equipment hold the safety
lockoff (Fig. 7/Item 6) and press and hold the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 7/Item 2). To switch off,
release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 7/Item 2).
One steel brush (Fig. 2/Item 8) and two nylon brush (Fig. 2/Item 9) are supplied with the
equipment. The wire brush is suited for use on robust surfaces and obstinate weeds. We
recommend using the nylon brush for light vegetation and surfaces too sensitive for the
steel brush.
Important: Always carry out a short trial run to check out possible effects on the surfaces of
the paving stones or slabs before starting with your work. Never use the equipment on very
sensitive surfaces, for example tiles.
Important: Only use brushes which are in good condition. Replace excessively worn or
damaged brushes immediately.

Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down with compressed air at low
pressure. We recommend that you clean the equipment immediately after you use it. Clean
the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure that no
water can get into the interior of the equipment. Clean the guard hood with a brush upon
evidence of dirt and grime.
Carbon brushes
