Checkfor misalignment or binding of moving parts,breakage of parts and any other condition thatmay affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-aged, have the power tool repaired before use.Many accidents are caused by poorly maintainedpower tools.6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properlymaintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edgesare less likely to bind and are easier to control.7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bitsetc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-ing into account the working conditions andthe work to be performed. Use of the power toolfor operations different from those intended couldresult in a hazardous situation.8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,clean and free from oil and grease. Slipperyhandles and grasping surfaces do not allow forsafe handling and control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth workgloves which may be entangled. The entangle-ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts mayresult in personal injury.Battery tool use and care1. Recharge only with the charger specified bythe manufacturer. A charger that is suitable forone type of battery pack may create a risk of firewhen used with another battery pack.2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-nated battery packs. Use of any other batterypacks may create a risk of injury and fire.3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it awayfrom other metal objects, like paper clips,coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metalobjects, that can make a connection from oneterminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-nals together may cause burns or a fire.4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may beejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. Ifliquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medicalhelp. Liquid ejected from the battery may causeirritation or burns.5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteriesmay exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting infire, explosion or risk of injury.6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire orexcessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.7. Follow all charging instructions and do notcharge the battery pack or tool outside thetemperature range specified in the instruc-tions. Charging improperly or at temperaturesoutside the specified range may damage thebattery and increase the risk of fire.Service1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualifiedrepair person using only identical replacementparts. This will ensure that the safety of the powertool is maintained.2. Never service damaged battery packs. Serviceof battery packs should only be performed by themanufacturer or authorized service providers.3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-ing accessories.4. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-ance or the battery pack except as indicated inthe instructions for use and care.Utility machine safety warnings1. Do not use the machine in bad weather condi-tions, especially when there is a risk of light-ning. This decreases the risk of being struck bylightning.2. While operating the machine, always wearnon-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce therisk of injury.3. Inspect pathway before hauling objects/mate-rials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway andensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate themachine under load will help reduce losing controlof the machine.4. 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.5. Do not operate the machine on excessivelysteep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss ofcontrol, slipping and falling which may result inpersonal injury. Slopes greater than the maxi-mum recommended grade and side grades mayincrease the risk of instability and may adverselyaffect the ability to stop safely.6. 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 increase the risk of personalinjury.7. 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.8. 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.9. Ensure the hopper is in its down position andhopper is secured in place when not dump-ing the load and when storing the machine.Unsecured hopper can unexpectedly open or shift.
