Safety Warnings; Save All Warnings And Instruc- Tions For Future Reference - Makita DCU601 Instruction Manual

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 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).

SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
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.
Do not operate the machine on excessively
4.
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.
Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-
6.
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
parking 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 footing while hauling loads
across them.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Use containers and tie-downs to secure loads.
Loose and/or insecure loads are more likely
to shift which can result in loss of stability and
control.
12. Always maintain a firm grip on handles. Loss of
control can increase the risk of personal injury.
13. Remove safety key when not in use. The safety
key prevents unwanted, powered use of the
machine, such as by children or other untrained
or unauthorized persons. Without the key, electric
power cannot be turned "on".
14. This machine cannot be used on public roads.
Use of the wheelbarrow on a public road is unlaw-
ful and could result in local jurisdiction penalties in
addition it could result in personal injury.
