19 ENGLISHIntended useThe machine is intended for loading and carryingobjects with battery powered assistance.NoiseThe typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-ing to EN62841-1 and EN12053 as applicable:Sound pressure level (LpA ) : 70 dB(A) or lessUncertainty (K) : 4 dB (A)The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) hasbeen measured in accordance with a standard testmethod and may be used for comparing one tool withanother.NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s)may also be used in a preliminary assessment ofexposure.WARNING: Wear ear protection.WARNING: The noise emission during actualuse of the power tool can differ from the declaredvalue(s) depending on the ways in which thetool is used especially what kind of workpiece isprocessed.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).VibrationThe vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-mined according to EN62841-1: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 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.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 leaving the machine unattended, setparking brake once the machine is located in asafe stopping area. The parking brake preventsunwanted movement of the front wheel and canimprove stability.
