NS13 is an electric battery-powered brush designed for cleaning dry
surfaces in both outdoor and indoor environments. The appliance
has: a central brush for collecting the dirt, two side brushes for
This electric brush was designed and built to be used by a qualied

jets of water.
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No
accident prevention programme can be e󰀨ective without the full
co-operation of the operator who is directly responsible for machine
operation. The majority of occupational accidents that happen both
in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by failure to respect
