2 GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1 WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
•When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
2.3 PERSONAL SAFETY
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
•Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
appropriately will reduce personal injuries.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack and when picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
•Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust related hazards.
•Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
2.4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
2
English
EN

the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
•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.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the BATTERY pack, if detachable, 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.
•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.
•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.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
•Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. 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
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
•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.
2.5 SERVICE
•Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
•Never service damaged battery packs, Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3 GARDEN CART SAFETY
WARNINGS
• Do not put your hands or feet near or under the rotating
wheels.
• Never operate the machine in the rain or in tall wet grass.
Remember, this is an electric machine.
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually.
• Do not use on slopes over 16.7 degrees.
• Park on level surfaces for stability when loading or
unloading.
• Do not pull the machine backwards while running in
forward gear. This can damage the motor and ruin the
gears.
• Prevent damage to the motor and gears – do not tow
anything behind the machine or overload it.
• Evenly disperse the load in the machine bucket.
• Weight limit: 220 lbs. (100 kg) on level cement surfaces
— overloading may cause injury and could permanently
damage unit.
• Only load with as much weight as you can control when
machine is moving.
• Never carry passengers.
• Do not use if forward/backward button or power switch
or lock-out button is not working properly.
• Do not move near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The machine could suddenly turnover if a wheel is over
the edge of a cliff or ditch or if an edge caves in.
4 BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
• Use equipment only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
