h) The user must not become complacent and
start ignoring the fundamentals of power
tool safety due to the routine arising from
frequent use of the power tool. Careless
activity may cause serious injury within a fraction of
a second.
4) OPERATING AND MAINTAINING
POWER TOOLS
a) Power tools must not be overloaded. It
is necessary to use power tools that are
designed for the work being performed.
Appropriate power tools for a given task will do the
job better and with greater safety.
b) Power tools that cannot be turned on
and off with a trigger/switch must not be
used. Any power tools that cannot be controlled
using a trigger/switch are dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Before making any adjustments, replacing
accessories or before storing the power tool, it is
necessary to pull the power plug out of the power
socket and/or remove the battery pack out of the
power tool, if it is removable. These preventative
safety measures limit the danger of accidentally
starting the power tool.
d) When not used, the power tool must be
stored out of children's reach, and persons
not acquainted with the power tool or these
instructions must not be permitted to use
the power tool. A power tool in the hands of inex-
perienced users is dangerous.
e) Power tools and accessories need to be main-
tained. It is necessary to check the adjus-
tment of moving parts and their movement;
focus on cracks, broken parts or any other
circumstances that may threaten the proper
operation of the power tool. If the power
tool is damaged, it is necessary to have it
repaired before using it again. Many accidents
are caused by insufficiently maintained power tools.
f) It is necessary to keep cutting power tools
clean and sharp. Correctly maintained and shar-
pened cutting power tools are less likely to get stuck
on material or to jam and they are also easier to
control.
EN
g) It is necessary to use power tools, accesso-
ries, working tools, etc. in accordance with
these instructions and in such a manner as
prescribed for the specific power tool with
respect to the given work conditions and the
type of work being performed. Using power
tools for tasks other than for which they are designed
may lead to dangerous situations.
h) Handles and grip surfaces must be kept dry,
clean and free of grease. Slippery handles and
grip surfaces do not ensure a safe grip and control
over the power tool in unexpected situations.
5) OPERATING AND MAINTAINING COR-
DLESS POWER TOOLS
a) The power tool charge only using the char-
ger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery pack,
may lead to a fire hazard if used with a different
battery pack.
b) Only use the tool with a battery pack that
is explicitly determined for the given tool.
Using any other battery pack may create a accident
or fire hazard.
c) When the battery pack is not being used,
protect it against contact with other metal
items such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal items that could
make a connection between both battery
contacts. Short circuiting the battery contacts may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Incorrect use may cause liquids to leak out
of the battery; avoid coming into contact
with them. In the event of accidental con-
tact with these liquids, rinse the affected
area with water. In the event that the liquid
enters the eye, seek medical help. Liquids
leaking from the battery may cause inflammations
or burns.
e) A battery pack or power tool that is
damaged or modified, must not be used.
Damaged or modified batteries may behave errati-
cally, which may result in a fire, an explosion or an
injury hazard.
72
f) Battery packs or power tools must not be
exposed to a fire or excessive heat. Exposure
to fire or a temperature exceeding 130°C may result
in an explosion.
g) It is necessary to adhere to all battery
charging instructions and not to charge the
battery pack or power tool outside the tempe-
rature range specified in this user's manual.
Incorrect charging, or charging at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your cordless power tool repaired by
a qualified person using identical spare parts.
This will ensure that the same level of safety will be
achieved as before the repair of the power tool.
b) Damaged battery packs must never be
repaired. The battery pack should only be repaired
by the manufacturer or at an authorised service centre.
VI. Safety instructions
for the battery powered
wheelbarrow
LOADING LOADS
1. Do not overload this machine. When putting
on loads, adhere to the instructions and load
limits provided in this manual.
2. Firmly secure loads using fastening belts.
3. If the load/s protrude past the tray, there is a risk
of an accident resulting from the load falling or
its contact with obstacles such as walls.
4. Ensure that the loaded loads are below eye
level. If the load is too tall, then this is dangerous
because the visibility of the user is impaired. There
is also a risk over tipping over and injury because the
load will most probably be unbalanced.
5. Load loads evenly. If the loads are loaded unevenly,
there is a risk of tipping over and injury because the
load will most probably be unbalanced.
6. Therefore, ensure that heavy loads are loaded
first, to ensure that the load is balanced.
73
7. When sliding out the front and side protective
frames, do not slide them out past their limit
position. When sliding out the side protective
frames, slide them out in such a way that the
right and left sides have the same length and
load the loads evenly.
8. Load and unload loads on a level surface.
MAINTENANCE
1. Before storing or before inspecting or perfor-
ming maintenance, ensure that this machine is
parked on an even surface and secure it in place
using the brake lever.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE BATTERY-POWERED WHEELBARROW
1. When working with this machine, always use
anti-slip footwear and protective clothing.
Anti-slip safety footwear with a solid enclosed tip,
reduces the risk of injury.
2. Prior to moving items/materials, check the
route. Acquaint yourself with the planned route and
ensure that it is sufficiently wide to enable you to
pass through safely with this machine loaded, which
prevents loss of control over this machine.
3. Be very careful when on slippery, unpaved and
unstable terrain. Wet and slipper surfaces, and,
likewise, wet grass surfaces, snow and ice and unpa-
ved and unstable terrain, such as sand and gravel,
may result in loss of the machine's traction and may
negatively affect steering, braking and stability.
4. Do not use this machine on excessively steep
slopes. This will reduce the risk of loss of control and
falls, which could result in injuries. Inclines that are
greater than the maximum recommended incline and
side tilts, may increase the risk of instability and may
negatively affect the ability to stop safely.
5. When working on slopes, always ensure that
you have a stable stance, always work perpen-
dicular to the slope, never up or down, and be
particularly careful when changing direction.
This will reduce the risk of loss of control and falls,
which could result in injuries.
