SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or BATTERYoperated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
2 ENGLISH
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
7. Power tools can produce electromagnetic
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.
However, users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the maker of their
device and/or doctor for advice before operating
this power tool.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or BATTERY pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equipments by the tool operators and by other persons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the BATTERY pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entanglement of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
BATTERY tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of BATTERY pack may create a risk of
re when used with another BATTERY pack.
2.
Use power tools only with specically designated BATTERY packs. Use of any other
BATTERY packs may create a risk of injury and re.
3.
When BATTERY pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the BATTERY termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the BATTERY; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, ush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek med-
ical help. Liquid ejected from the BATTERY may
cause irritation or burns.
3 ENGLISH
-
5. Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that is
damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in re, EXPLOSION or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to re
or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the BATTERY pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the
BATTERY and increase the risk of re.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged BATTERY packs.
Service of BATTERY packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service
providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.
Battery powered wheelbarrow safety
warnings
1. This machine cannot be used on the public
road.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 maximum recommended grade and side grades may
increase the risk of instability and may adversely
affect the ability to stop safely.
6. 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.
7. Whenever possible, use level areas for stopping, 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.
8. When stopping on slopes, face the machine
uphill or downhill and block unbraked wheels.
The machine is less stable when facing across a
slope. Unbraked wheels, especially those of the
castor-type, can potentially turn and roll downhill
even while the front wheel parking brake is set.
9. 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.
10. 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 deections and side-to-side
movement under load. All ramps must be wide
enough to have sure footing while hauling loads
across them.
11. Avoid extending ramps without toe boards
or railings over open spaces. Elevated open
spaces and open trenches invite accidental falls
and increase the potential for serious injury. Use
toe boards or railings on ramps over open spaces
to prevent driving the machine off the ramp.
12. 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.
13. 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 difcult to maneuver and stop,
will increase stopping time and distance, and will
increase the risk of instability.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Always maintain a rm grip on handles. Loss of
control can increase the risk of personal injury.
17. 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”.
18. Use a sturdy plate with anti-slip and detach-
ment prevention function when loading and/
or unloading this machine for transportation,
or moving this machine between different
levels. Make sure the plate inclination does not
exceed 12°, and operate the machine slowly
and carefully. Unstable and quick operation
may result in overturn and/or falling.
19. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this
machine.
4 ENGLISH
Operation
1. When operating the machine, stand behind the
machine and hold the handles rmly.
2. Do not operate the machine while riding on the
machine.
3. Do not allow others to ride on the machine.
4. When operating the machine in reverse and
walking backward, watch behind you and be
careful not to slip or trip.
5. Do not use the machine when visibility is poor
because there is a risk of striking obstacles.
6. When operating the machine on rough ground,
decrease speed and exercise caution.
7. When using the machine, avoid soft ground
to prevent overturn due to the shoulder of the
road collapsing.
8. Do not operate the machine on upward slopes
greater than 12°.
9. If you nd an abnormality, stop the machine
on at ground. Before inspecting the machine,
pull the brake lever and lock the brake, and
then turn the power off.
10.
Before operating the machine, make sure that
the lock lever is fully pulled down and com-
pletely locked. If the lock is incomplete, there is a
risk of accident or injury as the carrier or bucket may
be tilted and the objects fall when going downhill.
11. Be careful not to entangle the cords with the
load or obstacles.
Operation on slopes
1. Do not cross on slopes.
2.
Be sure to decrease speed and exercise caution.
3. Exercise caution when starting or stopping the
machine on slopes.
4. As the loads become less stable on slopes,
rmly secure the loads with ropes.
5. As the machine becomes unstable depending
on the condition of the road, keep the load to a
minimum.
6. As the view is obscured on slopes, keep the
height of the load to a minimum.
7.
Never park the machine on steep slopes. Park
the machine on at ground, pull the brake lever
and lock the brake, and then turn the power off.
8. Do not change the direction or speed mode on
steep slopes.
9. Do not release the switch trigger on upward
slopes. The machine may go in reverse and
cause an accident.
10.
Make sure that the remaining battery capacity
is enough before operating on slopes. If the
remaining battery capacity is not enough, charge
the battery or replace it with a charged one.
Loading objects
1. Do not overload objects. When loading
objects, be sure to follow the instructions and
load limits in the manual.
2. Firmly secure the objects with ropes.
3. Load the objects within the carrier or bucket.
If the objects protrude from the carrier or bucket,
there is a risk of accidents due to the objects
falling or contact obstacles such as walls.
4. Be sure that loaded objects are below eye
level. If the load is too high, it is dangerous
because the view is obscured. Also, there is a risk
of overturning and injury because the load is likely
to be unbalanced.
5. Load the objects on the carrier or bucket
evenly. If the objects are loaded unevenly, there is
a risk of overturning and injury because the load is
likely to be unbalanced.
6. Before loading the objects or operating the
machine, make sure that the lock lever is fully
pulled down and completely locked.
7. Be sure to load heavy objects rst to keep
balance.
8. Do not extend the front and side rails on steep
slopes. Extend the side rails when lightweight
objects are loaded.
9. When extending the front and side rails, do not
extend them over the extension limit. Be sure
to extend the side rails so that the right and
left sides are the same length, and load objects
evenly.
10. Load and unload objects on at ground.
11. When lifting and tilting the carrier or bucket,
hold the handles and frame rmly, and work in
a stable posture.
Maintenance
1. Always be sure to park the machine on at
ground and lock the brake lever before storage or attempting to perform inspections or
maintenance.
