Length of broom g197271 Figure 16 A broom sweeps with the tips of its bristles. When you apply too much downward pressure, the broom no longer uses its tips; the broom is now working with the sides of the bristles.
Using the Kickstands Clearing a Clogged Broom Use the kickstands to raise the broom off the ground when you are not using the machine, performing maintenance, or storing the broom. This eliminates unnecessary pressure on the bristles. WARNING The rotating broom could cause serious injury. Important: Do not operate the machine with the Shut off the machine and allow all rotating parts to stop before cleaning the broom. kickstands down. 1.
