• Do not leave sweeper unattended or running when turned on.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one sweeper may create a risk of injury when used on another sweeper.
• Do not handle battery or sweeper with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Turn off all controls before removing battery.
• Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance for any job except that for which it is intended.
• Don't Force Appliance - It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not operate sweepers in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Sweepers create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Keep children away - All visitors should be kept at a distance from work area.
• A battery operated sweeper with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• For use only with Lawnmaster 24V Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
• Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, immediately discontinue use. Replace the charger with the identical unit as listed in the Parts List of this manual.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a sweeper. Do not use sweeper while tired, upset, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating sweepers may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying sweepers with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a sweeper with the switch on invites accidents.
