The machine must never be left unattended with the motor or engine on. Before leaving it,
turn the motor or engine off, make sure it cannot move accidentally and disconnect from the
power supply.
Always pay attention to other people, children in particular, present in the place where you
are working.
Children must be supervised to make sure they do not play with the machine.
The machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety and have received instruction in the use
of the machine.
Never use the machine to transport people or things or to tow things. Do not tow the
machine.
Never rest objects of any weight on the machine for any reason.
Never obstruct ventilation and heat dispersion slits.
Never remove, modify or circumvent safety devices.
Numerous unpleasant experiences have shown that a wide range of personal objects may
cause serious accidents. Before beginning work, remove jewellery, watches, ties, etc.
The operator must always use personal protection devices - protective apron or overalls,
non-slip waterproof shoes, rubber gloves, protective goggles and ear protectors and mask to
protect the respiratory tract.
Keep the hands away from moving parts.
Never use detergents other than those specified. Follow the instructions on the relative
safety sheet. Detergents should be kept out of reach of children. In the event of contact with
the eyes, wash immediately with abundant water. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Make sure the power sockets used for the models with cable or battery charger are
connected to a suitable earth system and protected by differential thermal solenoid switches.
Make sure the electrical characteristics of the machine (voltage, frequency, absorbed power)
given on the rating plate (fig. 1) are the same as those of the mains electricity supply. The
machine with cable has a three-wire cable and a three pin earthed plug for use in an
appropriate earthed socket. The earth wire is yellow and green. Never connect this wire to
anything other than the earth contact of the socket.
It is indispensable to respect the battery manufacturer's instructions and current legislation.
The batteries should always be kept clean and dry to avoid surface leakage current. Protect
the batteries from impurities such as metal dust.
Never rest tools on the batteries as this could cause short circuit and explosion.
When using battery acid, always follow the relative safety instructions scrupulously.
When using cable-powered versions, make sure to avoid crushing or tearing the power
cable, and make sure the rotating brush does not come into contact with the power cable.
Check the power cable regularly. If damaged, do not under any circumstances use the
machine. For replacement, contact a specialised service centre.
To recharge the batteries, always use the battery charger supplied with the machine (when
provided).
In the presence of particularly strong magnetic fields, assess the possible effect on the
control electronics.
Never wash the machine with water jets.
