Introduction
This operating manual contains instructions for using the hand-
operated sweeper KSE 910.
Our products are subject to continuous improvement.
Therefore, design changes that were made after this manual went to
print could not be incorporated.
If you have any questions, please contact our Service department.
The operating manual must be read and applied by all persons who
operate the sweeper.
Apart from the operating manual and the regulations for accident
prevention applicable in the country of use and the location of use, the
common, recognised rules for safe and technically correct working
must also be followed.
Usage conformant with intended purpose
The appliance is intended exclusively for sweeping on solid surfaces
(for example.: parking areas, walkways, shop floors).
The sweeper may only be used by reliable and instructed personnel.
Any other use, or any use over and above that, will be considered to
be non-conformant with intended purpose.
The manufacturer rejects any and all liability for damage resulting
from such use.
The risk is that of the user alone.
Usage conformant with intended purpose also includes compliance
with the operating manual and the inspection and maintenance
specifications.
Drive the sweeper only along expressly marked routes and spaces.
Transporting loads with the sweeper is not allowed.
Operation by children and youth is prohibited.
The appliance is not suited for picking up fluids, cables, cords, wires
or the like.
Danger
Under no circumstances may the machine be used for
sweeping up flammable or toxic or explosive materials or
inflammable gases or undiluted acids and solvents,
burning
or glowing objects.

KSE 910 Date 0507 5
Safety device
The hood switch prevents the machine from getting switched on when
the hood is open and switches off the machine if it is opened during
operation.
General safety instructions
The sweeper has been built according to the state-of-the-art and the
recognised rules of engineering safety. Nonetheless, there may be
some danger for the user or for third parties, or hindrances of the
sweeper and other property may result during the use of the machine.
Therefore, use the sweeper only in a flawless state, as well as in
keeping with intended purpose, in a safety-conscious and danger-
conscious manner, in compliance with these operating instructions.
In particular, have faults that could hinder the safety eliminated
immediately.
Always keep the operating manual easily accessible at the location of
the sweeper.
In addition to the operating manual, follow the general legal and other
binding regulations for accident prevention and environmental
protection. Do not make any changes or modifications to the sweeper
without the approval of the manufacturer.
Open the hood only for maintenance work and for charging the
battery. Never while the motor is running.
Safety instructions for handling batteries
The operating instructions of the battery manufacturer for his product
must be followed. Please note the regulations laid down by law for
handling accumulator batteries.
Charge discharged batteries as quickly as possible and only in well
ventilated rooms.
Danger!
Note that the accumulator batteries are filled with battery
acid. Keep open flames and electrical sparks away from the
charging area, since a highly explosive electrolytic gas
mixture is generated when batteries are being charged.
Never short-circuit battery poles. The batteries must always
be kept clean and dry to avoid leakage currents. For
avoiding damage to health,
smoking, eating and drinking in the vicinity of the battery
charging station must be avoided.

Sweeper description
The suction sweeper is driven by an electric motor.
Sweeping is done with two side brushes which convey the refuse to
the two sweeping rollers that are mounted at 90 degrees to the
direction of motion.
The rollers throw the refuse overhead in the rear dirt collector.
The dust that is collected by the sweeping rollers is kept in a lamellar
filter in the machine by the dust extraction.
The lamellar filter can, in turn, be cleaned by a manually actuated filter
vibrator.

•Switch off the machine (see page 7."Switching off the sweeper“).
•Adjust the side brushes and sweeping rollers in the upper
position.
Caution!
If the sweeping rollers are not set to their top position, the
bristles of the side brushes will be put under permanent load
in their off-position and consequently will wear prematurely
when used.
•Always empty the dustbin once you've finished sweeping.
(See "Dustbin emptying“)
Emptying the dustbin
In order to ensure proper sweeping performance, the dustbin has to
be emptied at regular intervals.
•Lift the dustbin securing device –1-and pull the dustbin on the
