SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications 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 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

This machine cannot be used on the public road.

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maxi-

mum 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 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.

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deections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 condi-

tion. 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difcult

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.

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.
