3. The Sweeping Process
3.1 Recommended Application
The sweeper is mainly used for cleaning straight surfaces. The material to be swept
will largely consist of leaves, rubbish, snow, sand, gravel or a combination hereof.
When sweeping certain materials, (large) clouds of dust may be
raised. The use of protective glasses is therefore compulsory.
Particles might fly up due to the sweeping method. The operator
has to make sure that there are no persons or animals in the direct
surroundings of the machine.
Under normal circumstances, the machine generates a noise level
of +/- 96 dB (A). Prolonged exposure to this sound level can result
in serious hearing injury. This is why hearing protection must be
used.
