English
Never reach into rotating bristles – risk of
injury.
Never bump against shelving,
scaffolding, etc. while working since
there is a risk of objects toppling over or
falling from above.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
Do not operate the power tool without
the hopper.
Take special care in slippery conditions,
on slopes or uneven ground.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
If dust levels are very high, always wear
a suitable respirator.
If there is a noticeable change in running
behavior (e.g. higher vibrations,
sluggishness), stop work and rectify the
cause of the problem.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting Work". Make sure the
safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating your power tool if
it is damaged. In case of doubt, have the
unit checked by your servicing dealer.
Do not sweep up burning or glowing
objects such as cigarettes, ash or
matches – risk of fire.
After finishing work
Empty the hopper after every use.
22
Wear sturdy work gloves when emptying
the hopper to reduce the risk of injury
from broken glass, metal or other sharp
materials.
Empty the hopper outdoors if possible.
Working Technique
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area.
Always hold the push handle firmly with
both hands.
Push the power tool forwards and adjust
speed to suit conditions.
Depress the push handle slightly to
travel over small humps up to about 2 to
3 cm.
If cleaning performance deteriorates,
check that hopper is not full and check
the side brooms or roller brush* (*
KG 770 inly) for blockages or wear.
Debris level in hopper
The hopper is full if dust and dirt begins
to emerge sideways while you are
sweeping.
To continue working for a brief period, lift
the sweeper up at the front so that dirt
falls to the back of the hopper. This
helps make better use of the hopper's
full capacity.
When sweeping heavy material, e.g.
grit, loose chippings, the sweeper's
center of gravity shifts to the rear. This
tends to lift the side brooms away from
the surface and reduce cleaning
efficiency.
Maintenance and repairs
The machine must be serviced regularly.
Do not attempt any maintenance or
repair work not described in the
Instruction Manual. All other work should
be carried out by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that maintenance
and repair work be carried out only by
authorized STIHL dealers. STIHL
dealers receive regular training and are
supplied with technical information.
