supply cord should correspond to the electrical parameters of the tool, listed on the rating plate. It should be noted that the power
cord's cross-section depends on the length of the cord. Follow the instructions below regarding the power cord cross-section:
- 1.0 mm – cable length not more than 40 m;
2
- 1.5 mm 2 – cable length not more than 60 m;
- 2.5 mm - cable length not more than 100 m.

When preparing for operation and during operation, pay attention to the power cord. Protect the power cord from water, moisture,
oils, heat sources and sharp objects. Lay the cord so that it does not come within the reach of the cutting element. Cutting the
cord may result in electric shock and serious injury or death. Make sure that you do not become entangled in the cord. This can
lead to a fall and serious injury.
Do not overload the power cord, and do not cause any of the cord's section to become tensioned. Do not pull the cord when
moving the tool. Always disconnect the power cord plug from the socket by pulling by the plug and socket housing, never pull by
the cord.
There is an opening in the handle cover to route the extension cord loop through, and then attach the loop to the hook inside the
handle. Only then, connect the plug to the socket of the extension cord (XI). This will minimise the risk of pulling the power cord
from the machine housing, e.g. in the event of a sudden jerk.
Starting and stopping the tool
Make sure that the machine has been connected to the power supply and that the brush does not come into contact with the sur-
face or any other object. Adopt a posture which guarantees balance. Grasp the main handle with one hand. Grasp the additional
handle with the other hand. Press and hold the power switch lock in this position (XII), then press the power switch; the machine
will turn on. The power switch cannot be locked in the on position. After turning on the machine, release the pressure on the power
switch lock (XIII).
The machine stops when the pressure on the power switch is released. The brush can rotate for some time after the engine is
stopped. It is forbidden to stop the brush by pressing it against the ground or against another object.
After the brush has come to a complete stop, unplug the machine from the power supply by unplugging the power cord plug from
the mains socket. Next, proceed with maintenance.
Electric brush operation
Do not allow the tool to operate at low speed or during start-up.
Guide the machine with the wheel on the ground so that the narrow brush spins in the gap between, for example, the paving
stones.
The wide brush should be used to clean larger surfaces, e.g. fl oors.
Use a metal brush to clean gaps in hard stones such as granite or metal surfaces. Use the plastic brush to clean soft ceramics,
wood and composite products.
Take special care when cleaning the gaps and surfaces located next to trees or building walls. The brush may damage the tree
or the building wall.
Working tips
Maintain balance and proper posture during work. Exercise particular caution when working on a slippery, inclined, or uneven
surface.
Continuously monitor the rotating brush during work. Do not clean places which are out of sight.
Before starting work, inspect the workplace thoroughly, remove all loose branches and other loose objects.
Take regular breaks when working. During operation, the tool emits noise and vibration, which impact the tool's operator. Taking
regular breaks and wearing personal protective equipment such as gloves, hearing protectors and eye protection allows to reduce
the impact of the tool on the operator's well-being.
Start work when healthy and in good shape. In case of nausea, headache, sight problems (e.g., reduced visual range), hearing
problems, or dizziness, immediately stop operating the tool.
Do not exert great pressure on the rotating brush. Do not overload it. Reduce pressure on the brush if increased noise and re-
duced rotational speed are observed, as it means that the rotating brush has been overloaded.
If, during operation, any part of the machine or cover is damaged or deformed, replace or repair it before resuming work.
Operational wear of the brush has occurred if a decrease in cleaning effi ciency is observed and the brush diameter is reduced. In
this case, replace the brush with a new one.
PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Warning! Before starting any of the operations described below, make sure that the power cord of the machine is disconnected
from the mains socket.
After each use, inspect the condition of the tool with particular attention to the fl ow capacity of ventilation openings.
