Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
\* Equipment and features
This instruction manual may refer to several models with different features. Components that are not installed on all models and related applications are marked with an asterisk (*). Such components may be available as special accessories from your STIHL dealer.
Engineering improvements
STIHL's philosophy is to continually improve all of its products. As a result, engineering changes and improvements are made from time to time. If the operating characteristics or the appearance of your machine differ from those described in this manual, please contact your STIHL dealer for assistance.
Therefore some changes, modifications and improvements may not be covered in this manual.
Warning!
Because a power tool equipped with a PowerSweep attachment is a high-speed power tool, special safety
precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the owner's manuals and the
safety instructions of your power tool and PowerSweep attachment periodically. Careless or improper use of any power tool may cause serious or fatal injury. Have your STIHL dealer show you how to operate your power tool. Observe all applicable local safety regulations, standards and ordinances.
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to use a power tool. Bystanders, especially children, and animals should not be allowed in the area where a power tool is in use!
Never let the PowerSweep run unattended.
Warning!
Do not lend or rent your power tool without the owner's manuals. Be sure that anyone using your power tool understands the information contained in these manuals.
Most of these safety precautions and warnings apply to the use of all STIHL PowerSweeps. Different models may have different parts and controls. See the appropriate section of your power tool and PowerSweep attachment owner's manual for a description of the controls and function of the parts of your power tool model.
Safe use of a power tool involves
-
the operator
-
the power tool
-
the use of the power tool.
THE OPERATOR!
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition and mental health and not under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a power tool when you are fatigued.
Be alert - if you get tired while operating your power tool, take a break. Tiredness may result in loss of control. Working with any power tool can be strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating a PowerSweep.
Warning!
Prolonged use of a power tool (or other machines) exposing the operator to vibrations may produce whitefinger disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. These conditions reduce the hand's ability to feel and regulate temperature, produce numbness and burning sensations and may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
All factors which contribute to white-finger disease are not known, but cold weather, smoking and diseases or physical conditions that affect blood vessels and blood transport, as well as high vibration levels and long periods of exposure to vibration are mentioned as factors in the development of whitefinger disease.
In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel syndrome, please note the following:
- Most STIHL power tools are equipped with an anti-vibration ("AV") system designed to reduce the transmission of vibrations created by the engine to the operator's hands. An AV system is recommended for those persons using power tools on a regular or sustained basis.
– Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
- Keep the AV system well maintained. A power tool with loose components or with damaged or worn AV buffers will tend to have higher vibration levels.
- Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant, excessive pressure, take frequent breaks.
All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
Proper Clothing
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator should wear proper protective apparel.
Warning!
Never operate a PowerSweep unless wearing goggles or properly fitted safety glasses with adequate top and side protection
complying with your National Standard.
Warning!
Power tool noise may damage your hearing. Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing. Continual and regular
users should have their hearing checked regularly.
Protect your hands with gloves when handling the power tool. Heavy-duty, nonslip gloves improve your grip and protect your hands.
Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting, but allow complete freedom of movement.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs, neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants, unconfined longhair or moving parts of the unit.
Wear long pants made of heavy material to protect your legs. Do not wear shorts, sandals or go bare foot. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
Good footing is important in PowerSweep work. Wear sturdy boots with nonslip soles.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to reduce the risk of injury to your head when there is a danger of head injuries.
For illustrations and definitions of the PowerSweep attachment parts see the chapter on "Parts and Controls"
Warning!
Never modify a PowerSweep attachment in any way. Only attachments supplied by STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL power tool models are authorized. Although certain unauthorized attachments may be useable for the STIHL power tool, their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.
Transporting the PowerSweep
Warning!
Always turn off the engine and make sure the attachment has stopped before putting a PowerSweep down. When transporting your PowerSweep in a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the PowerSweep.
Preparation for the use of the PowerSweep
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to suit your size before starting work. The machine should be properly balanced as specified in your owner's manual for proper control and less fatigue in operation.
Always check your PowerSweep for proper condition and operation before starting, particularly the throttle trigger, throttle trigger interlock (if applicable), stop switch, sweeper drums, rubber sleeve and harness.
The sweeper must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Both sweeper belts must be mounted. The rubber sleeve on the end of the drive tube must be in good condition. Do not operate your PowerSweep with damaged sweeper drums or rubber sleeve. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws, etc) and for worn or damaged parts. Replace worn or damaged parts.
Fueling
Your STIHL PowerSweep uses an oil-gasoline mixture for fuel. For further instructions see the safety precautions and the chapter on "Fuel" of the owner's manual of the power tool.
Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. If spilled and ignited by a spark or other ignition source, it can cause fire and serious burn injury or property
damage. Use extreme caution when handling gasoline or fuel mix.
Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel or PowerSweep.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The PowerSweep is designed only for sweeping sand, stones, gravel, leaves and snow on grass, concrete or asphalt and removing puddles of water from flat surfaces. To reduce the risk of injury, do not use your PowerSweep for any other purpose.
Starting
Warning!
Your PowerSweep is a one-person machine.
If you start the engine in the "start position" the sweeper belts will rotate when the engine starts - this may set the PowerSweep in motion back towards the operator.
To reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects or contact with the sweeper belts, do not allow any other person within a radius of 5 m (16 ft) of your own position.
Stop the engine immediately if you are approached. Start and operate your PowerSweep without assistance. For specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section of the owner's manual of the power tool. Place the power tool on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain a good balance and secure footing.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Operate the PowerSweep under good visibility and daylight conditions only. Work carefully.

natural_image
Illustration of a person sweeping a surface with a broom (no text or symbols)Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, maintain a low angle to the work surface. A high angle of operation tends to propel the PowerSweep toward you.
Warning!
Your PowerSweep produces toxic exhaust fumes as soon as the engine is running. These gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may be
colorless and odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from inhaling toxic fumes, never run the PowerSweep indoors or in poorly ventilated locations.
Warning!
Use of this product can generate dust and fumes containing chemicals known to cause respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular dust or fume at issue, consult your employer, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
Control dust and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of OSHA/NIOSH and occupational and trade associations. When the inhalation of toxic dust and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust and / or fumes encountered.
natural_image
Illustration of a person performing a knose or grip technique (no text or symbols present)Always hold the PowerSweep firmly with both hands. Wrap your fingers tightly around the handles, keeping the handles cradled between your thumb and fore-finger. Keep your hands in this position, to have your PowerSweep under control at all times. Make sure your PowerSweep handles and grip are in good condition and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Warning!
Never attempt to operate any PowerSweep with one hand. Loss of control of the PowerSweep may result in personal injury.
Special care must be taken in slippery conditions (wet ground, snow).
Examine work area and check for solid objects (such as stones, pieces of metal, etc.) which could be thrown and cause injury or damage the
sweeper flaps or other property (e.g. parked vehicles, windows, etc.).
Warning!
This PowerSweep is to be used at ground level with the sweeper belts parallel to the ground. Use of a PowerSweep above ground level may increase the risk of injury, since the brooming attachment is more fully exposed and the PowerSweep may be more difficult to control.
Do not operate the PowerSweep using the starting throttle lock as you do not have control of the engine speed. See section of your owner's manual on the proper use of the slide control.
If the sweeper belts become clogged or stuck, always turn off the engine and make sure the sweeper belts have stopped, before cleaning.
Important adjustments
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from loss of control or contact with the running sweeper drums, do not use your PowerSweep with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct idle speed, the sweeper drums should not move. For directions on how to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate section of the owner's manual of the power tool.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed, have your STIHL dealer check your PowerSweep and make proper adjustments and repairs.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORING
Use only identical STIHL replacement parts for maintenance and repair. Use of non-STIHL parts may cause serious or fatal injury.
Follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the appropriate section of your owner's manual. Please refer to the maintenance chart at the last pages of this manual.
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure that the sweeper belts have stopped before doing any maintenance or repair work or cleaning the PowerSweep. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in your owner's manual. Have such work performed at your STIHL dealer shop only.
Warning!
Check condition of sweeper belts at regular intervals. Loose particles or pieces of the belts could be thrown and injure the operator or bystanders. To reduce risk of injury from broken parts replace damaged sweeper belts immediately and always in pairs. Do not reuse or attempt to repair damaged or worn sweeper belts.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injuries, check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular intervals. Use the specified spark plug and make sure it and the ignition lead are always in good condition.
Warning!
Never test the ignition system with ignition wire boot removed from spark plug or with unseated spark plug, since uncontained sparking may cause a fire.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, use only spark plugs authorized by STIHL. Always press spark plug boot snugly onto spark plug boot of the proper size. (Note: If boot has detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be attached.) A loose connection between spark plug boot and ignition wire connector in the boot may create arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. Keep spark plug clean, and make sure ignition lead is in good condition.
Warning!
Do not operate your PowerSweep if the muffler is damaged, missing or modified. An improperly maintained muffler will increase the risk of fire and hearing loss. Never touch a hot muffler or burn will result. If your muffler was equipped with a spark-arresting screen to reduce the risk of fire (e.g. in the USA, Canada and Australia), never operate your PowerSweep if the screen is missing or damaged. Do not modify or remove any part of the muffler or spark arresting screen. Remember that the risk of forest fires is greater in hot or dry weather.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws, except the carburetor adjustment screws, after each use.
Additionally, the daily maintenance schedule for your PowerSweep set forth in your STIHL Owner's Manual should be strictly followed.
Store PowerSweep in a dry, high or locked location out of reach of children.
Before storing for longer than a few days, always empty the fuel tank.
