Warning!

Because a PowerSweep

is a power tool, special

safety precautions must

be observed to reduce the

risk of personal injury.

It is important that you

read, fully understand and

observe the following

safety precautions and

warnings. Read the

owner's manual and the

safety instructions periodically. Careless

or improper use of any PowerSweep

may cause serious or fatal injury. Have

your STIHL dealer show you how to

operate your PowerSweep. Observe all

applicable local safety regulations,

standards and ordinances.

!Warning!

Minors should never be allowed to use a

PowerSweep. Bystanders, especially

children, and animals should not be

allowed in the area where a

PowerSweep is in use.

Never let the PowerSweep run

unattended.

!Warning!

Do not lend or rent your PowerSweep

without the owner's manual. Be sure that

anyone using your PowerSweep

understands the information contained

in this manual.

Most of these safety precautions and

warnings apply to the use of all STIHL

PowerSweeps. Different models may

have different parts and controls. See

the appropriate section of your owner's

manual for a description of the controls

and function of the parts of your model

PowerSweep.

Safe use of a PowerSweep involves

1. the operator

2. the PowerSweep

3. the use of the PowerSweep .

THE OPERATOR!

Physical Condition

You must be in good physical condition

and mental health and not under the

influence of any substance (drugs,

alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,

dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a

PowerSweep when you are fatigued.

Be alert - if you get tired while operating

your PowerSweep, take a break.

Tiredness may result in loss of control.

Working with any PowerSweep can be

strenuous. If you have any condition that

might be aggravated by strenuous work,

check with your doctor before operating

a PowerSweep.

!Warning!

Prolonged use of a PowerSweep (or

other machines) exposing the operator

to vibrations may produce whitefinger

disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or

carpal tunnel syndrome. These con-

ditions reduce the hand's ability to feel

and regulate temperature, produce

numbness and burning sensations and

may cause nerve and circulation

damage and tissue necrosis.

All factors which contribute to white-

finger disease are not known, but cold

weather, smoking and diseases or

physical conditions that affect blood

vessels and blood transport, as well as

high vibration levels and long periods of

exposure to vibration are mentioned as

factors in the development of whitefinger

disease.

Safety Precautions and

Working Techniques

english / USA

KW 85

In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger

disease and carpal tunnel syndrome,

please note the following:

– Most STIHL power tools are

equipped with an anti-vibration

("AV") system designed to reduce

the transmission of vibrations

created by the engine to the

operator's hands. An AV system is

recommended for those persons

using power tools on a regular or

sustained basis.

– Wear gloves and keep your hands

warm.

– Keep the AV system well

maintained. A PowerSweep with

loose components or with damaged

or worn AV buffers will tend to have

higher vibration levels.

– Maintain a firm grip at all times, but

do not squeeze the handles with

constant, excessive pressure, take

frequent breaks.

All the above mentioned precautions do

not guarantee that you will not sustain

whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel

syndrome. Therefore, continual and

regular users should monitor closely the

condition of their hands and fingers. If

any of the above symptoms appear,

seek medical advice immediately.

!Warning!

The ignition system of the STIHL unit

produces an electromagnetic field of a

very low intensity. This field may

interfere with some pacemakers. To

reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,

persons with pacemaker should consult

their physician and the pacemaker

manufacturer before operating this tool.

Proper Clothing

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury, the operator

should wear proper protective apparel.

Never operate a

PowerSweep unless

wearing goggles or

properly fitted safety

glasses with adequate top

and side protection

complying with your

National Standard.

PowerSweep noise may

damage your hearing.

Wear sound barriers (ear

plugs or ear mufflers) to

protect your hearing.

Continual and regular

users should have their

hearing checked

regularly.

Protect your hands with

gloves when handling the

PowerSweep. Heavy-

duty, nonslip gloves

improve your grip and

protect your hands.

Clothing must be sturdy

and snug-fitting, but allow

complete freedom of

movement. Avoid loose-

fitting jackets, scarfs,

neckties, jewelry, flared or

cuffed pants, unconfined longhair or

moving parts of the unit. Wear long

pants made of heavy material to protect

your legs. Do not wear shorts, sandals

or go bare foot. Secure hair so it is above

shoulder level.

Good footing is important

in PowerSweep work.

Wear sturdy boots with

nonslip soles.

Wear an approved safety

hard hat to reduce the risk

of injury to your head

when there is a danger of

head injuries.

THE POWER SWEEP

For illustrations and definitions of the

PowerSweep parts see the chapter on

"Parts and Controls"

!Warning!

Never modify a PowerSweep in any

way. Only attachments supplied by

STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL

for use with the specific STIHL

PowerSweep models are authorized.

Although certain unauthorized

attachments may be useable for the

STIHL Power Sweep, their use may, in

fact, be extremely dangerous.

THE USE OF THE POWER SWEEP

Transporting the PowerSweep

!Warning!

Always turn off the engine and make

sure the attachment has stopped before

putting a PowerSweep down. When

transporting your PowerSweep in a

vehicle, properly secure it to prevent

turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the

PowerSweep.

Preparation for the use of the

PowerSweep

Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to

suit your size before starting work. The

machine should be properly balanced as

specified in your owner's manual for

proper control and less fatique in

operation.

Always check your PowerSweep for

proper condition and operation before

starting, particularly the throttle trigger,

throttle trigger interlock (if applicable),

stop switch, sweeper drums, rubber

sleeve and harness.

The throttle trigger must move freely and

always spring back to the idle position.

The sweeper must be properly tightened

and in safe operating condition. Both

sweeper belts must be mounted. The

rubber sleeve on the end of the drive

tube must be in good condition. Do not

operate your PowerSweep with

damaged sweeper drums or rubber

sleeve. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,

screws, etc) and for worn or damaged

parts. Replace worn or damaged parts.

Fueling

Your STIHL PowerSweep uses an oil-

gasoline mixture for fuel (see the chap-

ter on "Fuel" of your owner's manual).

!Warning!

Gasoline is an extremely

flammable fuel. If spilled

and ignited by a spark or

other ignition source, it

can cause fire and serious

burn injury or property

damage. Use extreme caution when

handling gasoline or fuel mix.

Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame

near the fuel.

Fueling Instructions

Fuel your PowerSweep in well-

ventilated areas, outdoors only.

!Warning!

Gasoline vapor pressure may build up

inside the gas tank of a two cycle engine

depending on the fuel used, the weather

conditions, and the venting system of

the tank. In order to reduce the risk of

burns and other personal injury from

escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove

the fuel filler cap on your PowerSweep

carefully so as to allow any pressure

build-up in the tank to release slowly.

english / USA

KW 85

Never remove fuel filler cap while engine

is running. Select bare ground for fueling

and move at least 10 feet (3 m) from the

fueling spot before starting the engine.

Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting

your PowerSweep and check for

leakage.

!Warning!

Check for fuel leakage while refueling

and during operation. If fuel or oil

leakage is found, do not start or run the

engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel

has been wiped away. If this happens,

change your clothing immediately.

!Warning!

Unit vibrations can cause

an improperly tightened

fuel cap to loosen or come

off and spill quantities of

fuel. In order to reduce

risk of fuel spillage and

fire, tighten fuel cap by hand with as

much force as possible.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Starting

!Warning!

Your PowerSweep is a one-person

machine. If you start the engine in the

"start position" the sweeper belts will

rotate when the engine starts - this may

set the PowerSweep in motion back

towards the operator.

To reduce the risk of injury from thrown

objects or contact with the sweeper

belts, do not allow any other person

within a radius of 5 m (15 f) of your own

position.

Stop the engine immediately if you are

approached. Start and operate your

PowerSweep without assistance. For

specific starting instructions, see the

appropriate section of your manual.

Place the PowerSweep on firm ground

or other solid surface in an open area.

Maintain a good balance and secure

footing.

!Warning!

When you pull the starter grip, don't

wrap the starter rope around your hand.

Do not allow the grip to snap back, but

guide the starter rope to rewind it

properly. Failure to follow this procedure

may result in injury to hand or fingers

and may damage the starter

mechanism.

With the engine running but at idle,

attach the PowerSweep to the spring

hook of your harness (see appropriate

chapter of this manual).

Working Conditions

Operate and start your PowerSweep

only outdoors in a well ventilated area.

!Warning!

Reversing the PowerSweep will cause

debris to be thrown back towards the

operator. When reversing the

PowerSweep, use lower throttle settings

and be aware that thrown debris may

also affect your footing.

english / USA

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control, maintain a low angle to the work

surface. A high angle of operation tends

to propel the PowerSweep toward you.

!Warning!

Your PowerSweep

produces toxic exhaust

fumes as soon as the

engine is running. These

gases (e.g. carbon

monoxide) may be

colorless and odorless. To reduce the

risk of serious or fatal injury from

inhaling toxic fumes, never run the

PowerSweep indoors or in poorly

ventilated locations.

!Warning!

Use of this product can generate dust

and fumes containing chemicals known

to cause respiratory disease, cancer,

birth defects, or other reproductive

harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks

associated with the particular dust or

fume at issue, consult your employer,

governmental agencies such as OSHA

and NIOSH and other sources on

hazardous materials. California and

some other authorities, for instance,

have published lists of substances

known to cause cancer, reproductive

toxicity, etc.

Control dust and fumes at the source

where possible. In this regard use good

work practices and follow the

recommendations of OSHA/NIOSH and

occupational and trade associations.

When the inhalation of toxic dust and

fumes cannot be eliminated, the

operator and any bystanders should

always wear a respirator approved by

NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust and /

or fumes encountered.

!Warning!

The muffler and other parts of the engine

(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)

become hot during operation and remain

hot for a while after stopping the engine.

To reduce risk of burns do not touch the

muffler and other parts while they are

hot.

Operate the PowerSweep under good

visibility and daylight conditions only.

Work carefully.

The PowerSweep is designed only for

sweeping sand, stones, gravel, leaves

and snow on grass, concrete or asphalt

and removing puddles of water from flat

surfaces. To reduce the risk of injury, do

not use your PowerSweep for any other

purpose.

223BA001 KN

223BA002 KN

english / USA

KW 85

Always hold the PowerSweep firmly with

both hands. Wrap your fingers tightly

around the handles, keeping the

handles cradled between your thumb

and fore-finger. Keep your hands in this

position, to have your PowerSweep

under control at all times. Make sure

your PowerSweep handles and grip are

in good condition and free of moisture,

pitch, oil or grease.

!Warning!

Never attempt to operate any

PowerSweep with one hand. Loss of

control of the PowerSweep may result in

personal injury.

Special care must be taken in slippery

conditions (wet ground, snow).

Examine work area and

check for solid objects

(such as stones, pieces of

metal, etc.) which could

be thrown and cause

injury or damage the

sweeper flaps or other property (e.g.

parked vehicles, windows, etc.).

!Warning!

This PowerSweep is to be used at

ground level with the sweeper belts

parallel to the ground. Use of a

PowerSweep above ground level may

increase the risk of injury, since the

brooming attachment is more fully

exposed and the PowerSweep may be

more difficult to control.

Do not operate the PowerSweep using

the starting throttle lock as you do not

have control of the engine speed. See

section of your owner's manual on the

proper use of the slide control.

If the sweeper belts become clogged or

stuck, always turn off the engine and

make sure the sweeper belts have

stopped, before cleaning.

Important adjustments

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of personal injury from

loss of control or contact with the

running sweeper drums, do not use your

PowerSweep with incorrect idle

adjustment. At correct idle speed, the

sweeper drums should not move. For

directions on how to adjust idle speed,

see the appropriate section of your

owner's manual.

If you cannot set the correct idle speed,

have your STIHL dealer check your

PowerSweep and make proper

adjustments and repairs.

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND

STORING

Maintenance, replacement, or repair

of the emission control devices and

systems may be performed by any

nonroad engine repair establishment

or individual. However if you claim

warranty for a component which has

not been serviced or maintained

properly or if nonapproved

replacement parts were used, STIHL

may deny warranty.

002BA054 KN

9KW 85

english / USA

Use only identical STIHL replacement

parts for maintenance and repair. Use of

non-STIHL parts may cause serious or

fatal injury.

Follow the maintenance and repair

instructions in the appropriate section of

your owner's manual. Please refer to the

maintenance chart at the last pages of

this manual.

!Warning!

Always stop the engine and make sure

that the sweeper belts have stopped

before doing any maintenance or repair

work or cleaning the PowerSweep. Do

not attempt any maintenance or repair

work not described in your owner's

manual. Have such work performed at

your STIHL dealer shop only.

!Warning!

Check condition of sweeper belts at

regular intervals. Loose particles or

pieces of the belts could be thrown and

injure the operator or bystanders. To

reduce risk of injury from broken parts

replace damaged sweeper belts

immediately and always in pairs. Do not

reuse or attempt to repair damaged or

worn sweeper belts.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of fire and burn

injuries, check fuel filler cap for leaks at

regular intervals. Use the specified

spark plug and make sure it and the

ignition lead are always in good

condition.

!Warning!

Never test the ignition system with

ignition wire boot removed from spark

plug or with unseated spark plug, since

uncontained sparking may cause a fire.

!Warning!

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,

use only spark plugs authorized by

STIHL. Always press spark plug boot

snugly onto spark plug boot of the

proper size. (Note: If boot has

detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be

attached.) A loose connection between

spark plug boot and ignition wire

connector in the boot may create arcing

that could ignite combustible fumes and

cause a fire. Keep spark plug clean, and

make sure ignition lead is in good

condition.

!Warning!

Do not operate your PowerSweep if the

muffler is damaged, missing or modified.

An improperly maintained muffler will

increase the risk of fire and hearing loss.

Never touch a hot muffler or burn will

result. If your muffler was equipped with

a spark-arresting screen to reduce the

risk of fire (e.g. in the USA, Canada and

Australia), never operate your

PowerSweep if the screen is missing or

damaged. Do not modify or remove any

part of the muffler or spark arresting

screen. Remember that the risk of forest

fires is greater in hot or dry weather.

Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws,

except the carburetor adjustment

screws, after each use.

Additionally, the daily maintenance

schedule for your PowerSweep set forth

in your STIHL Owner's Manual should

be strictly followed.

For any maintenance please refer to the

maintenance chart and to the warranty

statement near the end of this manual.

Store PowerSweep in a dry, high or

locked location out of reach of children.

Before storing for longer than a few

days, always empty the fuel tank.
