Operation
⚠ Danger
Long hours of using the appliance can cause circulation problems in the hands on account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid operation time, since this depends on several factors:
– Proneness to blood circulation deficiencies (cold, numb fingers). – Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect hands. – A firm grip impedes blood circulation. - Continuous operation is worse than an operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of the device and in case of repeated occurrence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fingers) please consult a physician.
Starting the machine
→ Release parking brake. Start the motor. → Turn the main switch to position "1". Note: The roller brush and the side brush will rotate.

Troubleshooting
The sweeping machine operates on the principle of sweeping.
– The side broom (1) cleans corners and edges of the sweeping surface and pushes dirt into the path of the sweeping roller. – The rotating sweeping roller (2) pushes dirt directly into the dirt container (3). – Dust rising in the container is separated via the dust filter (4), and the filtered clean air is drawn in through the suction fan (5).
