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. Remove the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, 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 children 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. Use the power tool 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 than those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
7. 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.

IMPORTANT!
Safety Instructions for Cordless
Wheelbarrow
1. Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
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 the pathway before hauling objects/materials.
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 wheels. The machine is less stable
when facing across a slope. Wheels 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 middle terrain wheel and can improve stability.
10. Ensure the bucket is in its down position and is
secured in place when not dumping the load and
when storing the machine. Unsecured bucket can
unexpectedly open or shift.
11. 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.
12. 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.
