14 ENGLISHDo not stare into beam.Intended useThe machine is intended for loading and carryingobjects with battery powered assistance.NoiseThe typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-ing to EN62841:Sound pressure level (LpA ) : 70 dB(A) or lessUncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has beenmeasured in accordance with a standard test methodand may be used for comparing one tool with another.NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) mayalso be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.WARNING: Wear ear protection.WARNING: The noise emission during actualuse of the power tool can differ from the declared val-ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is usedespecially what kind of workpiece is processed.WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measuresto protect the operator that are based on an estima-tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (tak-ing account of all parts of the operating cycle suchas the times when the tool is switched off and whenit is running idle in addition to the trigger time).VibrationThe vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-mined according to EN62841:Work mode: operation without loadVibration emission (a h ) : 2.5 m/s 2 or lessUncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has beenmeasured in accordance with a standard test methodand may be used for comparing one tool with another.NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may alsobe used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.WARNING: The vibration emission duringactual use of the power tool can differ from thedeclared value(s) depending on the ways in whichthe tool is used especially what kind of workpieceis processed.WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea-sures to protect the operator that are based on anestimation of exposure in the actual conditions ofuse (taking account of all parts of the operatingcycle such as the times when the tool is switchedoff and when it is running idle in addition to thetrigger time).EC Declaration of ConformityFor European countries onlyThe EC declaration of conformity is included as Annex Ato this instruction manual.SAFETY WARNINGSGeneral power tool safety warningsWARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-tions, illustrations and specifications providedwith this power tool. Failure to follow all instructionslisted below may result in electric shock, fire and/orserious injury.Save all warnings and instruc-tions for future reference.The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to yourmains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated(cordless) power tool.Battery powered wheelbarrow safetywarnings1. While operating the machine, always wear non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid, closed-toedsafety boots and shoes will reduce the risk of injury.2. Inspect pathway before hauling objects/materials.Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and ensuring itis wide enough to safely navigate the machine underload will help reduce losing control of the machine.3. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose andunstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, suchas wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose andunstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,may cause the machine to lose traction and mayadversely affect steering, braking and stability.4. Do not operate the machine on excessively steepslopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slip-ping and falling which may result in personal injury.Slopes greater than the maximum recommendedgrade and side grades may increase the risk of insta-bility and may adversely affect the ability to stop safely.5. When working on slopes, always be sure ofyour footing, always work across the faceof slopes, never up or down, and exerciseextreme caution when changing direction. Thisreduces the risk of loss of control, slipping andfalling which may result in personal injury.6. Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-ping, loading and unloading and never leavemachine unattended on a slope. The machine ismore unstable when resting on a slope than whenresting on a level surface.7. When stopping on slopes, face the machineuphill or downhill and block unbraked wheels.The machine is less stable when facing across aslope. Unbraked wheels, especially those of thecastor-type, can potentially turn and roll downhilleven while the front wheel parking brake is set.
