WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
WARNING:
The noise emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is
used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841-1:
Work mode: operation without load
Vibration emission (a
) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared val-
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an

Battery powered wheelbarrow safety
warnings
1.
While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,
closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the
risk of injury.
2.
Inspect pathway before hauling objects/mate-
rials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and
ensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate the
machine under load will help reduce losing control
of the machine.
3.
Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and
unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such
as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and
unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,
may cause the machine to lose traction and may
adversely affect steering, braking and stability.
4.
Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury. Slopes greater than the maxi-
mum recommended grade and side grades may
increase the risk of instability and may adversely
affect the ability to stop safely.
5.
When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face
of slopes, never up or down, and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
6.
Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-
ping, loading and unloading and never leave
machine unattended on a slope. The machine is
more unstable when resting on a slope than when
resting on a level surface.
7.
When leaving the machine unattended, set park-
ing brake once the machine is located in a safe
stopping area. The parking brake prevents unwanted
movement of the front wheel and can improve stability.
8.
Ensure that ramps are clean, strong and secure.
In order to reduce the risk of injury, all ramps must
be clear of loose debris and strong enough to
withstand the weight of anticipated loads that will
be moved over them. They must have adequate
blocking underneath and to both sides to eliminate
deflections and side-to-side movement under load.
All ramps must be wide enough to have sure foot-
ing while hauling loads across them.
9.
Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure
before using. Locking screws on the rear wheels
and open-type carrier front and side walls must be
secure to prevent unwanted movement of these
adjustable parts of the machine.
10. Never operate the machine in an overloaded
condition. Make sure the machine has the proper
capacity rating for the objects or materials that
have to be hauled. Excessive loads will make
the machine more difficult to maneuver and stop,
will increase stopping time and distance, and will
increase the risk of instability.
11.
Never operate your machine in an over stacked
condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or
over the sides of the tray can cause the machine
to be uncontrollably out of balance and control.
