ADDITIONAL INFO FOR ELECTRIC POWER TOOLS
The specified vibration value was established in accordance with a
standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric
equipment is used and may exceed the specified value in exceptional
circumstances. The specified vibration value can be used to compare the
equipment with another electric power tool.
REDUCE NOISE GENERATION AND VIBRATION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!
Use only equipment that is in good condition. Maintain and clean the equipment
regularly. Adapt your way of working to the equipment. Do not overload the
equipment. Have the equipment checked if necessary. Switch off the equipment
when not in use. Wear gloves.
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with the instructions,
certain residual risks cannot be eliminated. The following hazards may arise
in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:
- Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is applied.
- Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is applied.
- Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a longer period or is not properly guided and maintained.
BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT
Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate is identical to the supply voltage. Always pull out the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment. Plug the top part of the housing (Fig. 3a/Item A) and the bottom part of the housing (Fig. 3a/Item B) together and secure with one screw on each side (Fig.3b/ Item 10).
Insert the guide wheel (Fig. 4/Item 4) into the aperture in the main housing (Fig. 4/Item A). Make sure that there is an audible click when it engages.
Clip on the guard hood (Fig. 5/Item 3) as shown in Figure 5 and secure with 2 screws (Fig. 5/Item 10). Fit the brush (Fig.6a/Item A) onto the drive axle (Fig. 6a/Item B). Make sure that the brush fits accurately into the mount (Fig. 6a/Item C). The shaft must be fixed in order to fasten the brush. To do so, insert the pin (Fig. 2/Item 13) into the recess on the shaft (Fig. 6b) and hold with one hand. Use the open-ended wrench (Fig. 2/Item 12) to secure the nut (Fig. 6b/Item11).
BE SURE TO REMOVE THE PIN AGAIN FROM THE SHAFT.
To dismantle the equipment for changing the brush proceed in reverse order.
USING THE ELECTRIC PAVING SCRAPER
The tool can be plugged into any socket-outlet (with 230 V AC) that is
equipped with a 10A fuse or higher. The socket-outlet has to be safeguarded by
an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB). The operating current must not exceed
30mA. Insert the tool plug into the power cord coupling (extension).
Secure the power cable (Fig. 7/Item A) with the strain-relief clip (Fig.
7/Item 1) found on the equipment as shown. To switch on the equipment hold the
safety lockoff (Fig.7/Item 6) and press and hold the ON/OFF switch (Fig.
7/Item 2). To switch off, release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 7/Item 2).
One steel brush (Fig. 2/Item 8) and one nylon brush (Fig. 2/Item 9) are supplied with the equipment. The wire brush is suited for use on robust surfaces and obstinate weeds. We recommend using the nylon brush for light vegetation and surfaces too sen- sitive for the steel brush.
IMPORTANT
Always carry out a short trial run to check out possible effects on the
surfaces of the paving stones or slabs before starting with your work. Never
use the equipment on very sensitive surfaces, for example tiles.

REPLACING THE POWER CABLE
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after sales service or a similarly trained person to remain safe to use.
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND ORDERING SPARE PARTS
Always pull out the power plug before starting any cleaning work.
8.1 CLEANING
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust
as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down with
compressed air at low pressure. We recommend that you clean the equipment
immediately after you use it. Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may be
aggressive to the plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure that no water can get
into the interior of the equipment. Clean the guard hood with a brush upon
evidence of dirt and grime.
8.2 CARBON BRUSHES
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a
qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT
The carbon brushes should not be replaced by anyone but a qualified
electrician.
8.3 SERVICING
There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
STORAGE
Store the equipment and accessories out of children’s reach in a dark and dry place at above freezing temperature. The ideal storage temperature is between 5 and 30 °C. Store the electric tool in its original packaging.
DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent it from being damaged in
transit. The raw materials in this packaging can be reused or recycled. The
equipment and its accessories are made of various types of material, such as
metal and plastic. Defective components must be disposed of as special waste.
For EU countries only Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and
electronic equipment and its implementation in national laws, old electric
tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-
friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.
Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices: As an
alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to
cooperate in ensuring that the device is properly recycled if ownership is
relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used device to a
returns centre, which will dispose of it in accordance with national
commercial and industrial waste management legislation. This does not apply to
the accessories and auxiliary equipment without any electrical components
which are included with the used device.
