each one we provide the instructions to operate safely.
Risk of injury to hands, body and eyesight, by operating the machine without using safety guards correctly assembled and fully intact.
The risk of injuries to hands if, for any reason, you touch the side broom or the central broom, as they are spinning. The brooms can
only be touched when the motor is switched off and with the aid of protective gloves, to avoid poking or cutting yourself with sharp
slivers of debris in the bristles.
The risk of inhaling harmful substances, scratches to hands, when emptying out the container (hopper), without using protective gloves
and mask to protect the respiratory tract.
Risk of serious burns by carrying out any form of maintenance with the engine running or with the engine off but not completely cooled
down.
