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.
