SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose utility machine to rain. Water
entering a utility machine will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4. 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
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5.
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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
7.
Power tools can produce electromagnetic elds
(EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However,
users of pacemakers and other similar medical
devices should contact the maker of their device and/
or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.
Personal Safety
1. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the
use of appropriate safety protective equipment
by the tool operators and by other persons in
the immediate working area.
10. Do not operate the utility machine in the rain.
This may result in the of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may increase the risk of personal
injury.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.

4ENGLISH
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. 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.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of re.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer 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 in
the instructions for use and care.
Utility machine safety warnings
1. 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 by
lightning.
2. While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,
closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the
risk of injury.
3. Inspect pathway before hauling objects/mate-
rials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and
ensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate the
machine under load will help reduce losing control
of the machine.
4. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and
unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such
as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and
unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,
may cause the machine to lose traction and may
adversely a󰀨ect steering, braking and stability.
5. Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury. Slopes greater than the maxi-
mum recommended grade and side grades may
increase the risk of instability and may adversely
a󰀨ect the ability to stop safely.
6. When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face
of slopes, never up or down, and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may increase the risk of personal
injury.
7. Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-
ping, loading and unloading and never leave
machine unattended on a slope. The machine is
more unstable when resting on a slope than when
resting on a level surface.
8. When stopping on slopes, face the machine
uphill or downhill and block unbraked wheels.
The machine is less stable when facing across a
slope. Unbraked wheels, especially those of the
castor-type, can potentially turn and roll downhill
even while the front wheel parking brake is set.
9. Ensure the hopper is in its down position and
hopper is secured in place when not dump-
ing the load and when storing the machine.
Unsecured hopper can unexpectedly open or shift.
10. Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure
before using. Locking screws on the wheels and
open-type carrier front and side walls must be
secure to prevent unwanted movement of these
adjustable parts of the machine.

5ENGLISH
11. Never operate the machine in an overloaded
condition. Make sure the machine has the proper
capacity rating for the objects or materials that
have to be hauled. Excessive loads will make the
machine more di󰀩cult to maneuver and stop, will
increase stopping time and distance, and may
increase the risk of instability.
12. Never operate your machine in an over stacked
condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or
over the sides of the tray can cause the machine
to be uncontrollably out of balance and control.
13.
Use containers and tie-downs to secure loads.
Loose and/or insecure loads are more likely to shift
which can result in loss of stability and control.
14. Always maintain a rm grip on handles. Loss of
control can increase the risk of personal injury.
15. Engage the lock-out system when not in use.
The lock-out system prevents unwanted, powered
use of the machine, such as by children or other
untrained or unauthorized persons. With the lock-
out system engaged, electric power cannot be
turned "on".
Hopper safety warnings
1. Do not reach into the hopper mechanisms with
your hands, other parts of the body, or insert
any other objects into it while operating the
hopper. Contact with the hopper mechanism while
in use may increase the risk of serious personal
injury or death.
2. When dumping, be alert for unexpected move-
ment of the machine, either moving backward
or the handles coming upward. It is recom-
mended to brace the machine by using braking
systems and operator control of the handles.
Service brake helps prevent unexpected move-
ment of the machine. Upward movement of the
handles can increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
3. Ensure the intended dumping zone and su󰀩-
cient area around it is clear and safe for dump-
ing. Provide barriers to persons and property
as necessary to limit spread of dumped
materials. Dumped materials, such as rocks and
bricks, can quickly and easily spread or roll away
from the intended dumping zone and increase the
risk of serious personal injury or damaging nearby
property.
Additional Safety Instructions
1. While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,
closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the
risk of injury.
2. Inspect pathway before hauling objects/mate-
rials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and
ensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate the
machine under load will help reduce losing control
of the machine.
3. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and
unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such
as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and
unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,
may cause the machine to lose traction and may
adversely a󰀨ect steering, braking and stability.
4. Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury. Slopes greater than the maxi-
mum recommended grade and side grades may
increase the risk of instability and may adversely
a󰀨ect the ability to stop safely.
5. When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face
of slopes, never up or down, and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
6. Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-
ping, loading and unloading and never leave
machine unattended on a slope. The machine is
more unstable when resting on a slope than when
resting on a level surface.
7. When stopping on slopes, face the machine
uphill or downhill and block unbraked wheels.
The machine is less stable when facing across a
slope. Unbraked wheels, especially those of the
castor-type, can potentially turn and roll downhill
even while the front wheel parking brake is set.
8. When leaving the machine unattended, set
parking brake once the machine is located in a
safe stopping area. The parking brake prevents
unwanted movement of the front wheel and can
improve stability.
9. Ensure that ramps are clean, strong and
secure. In order to reduce the risk of injury, all
ramps must be clear of loose debris and strong
enough to withstand the weight of anticipated
loads that will be moved over them. They must
have adequate blocking underneath and to both
sides to eliminate deections and side-to-side
movement under load. All ramps must be wide
enough to have sure footing while hauling loads
across them.
10. Ensure the hopper is down and hoppers
and dump-gates are securely latched when
not dumping the load and when storing the
machine. Unlatched hoppers or dump-gates can
unexpectedly open or shift.
11. Avoid extending ramps without toe boards
or railings over open spaces. Elevated open
spaces and open trenches invite accidental falls
and increase the potential for serious injury. Use
toe boards or railings on ramps over open spaces
to prevent driving the machine o󰀨 the ramp.
12. Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure
before using. Locking screws on the rear wheels
and open-type carrier front and side walls must be
secure to prevent unwanted movement of these
adjustable parts of the machine.
13. Never operate the machine in an overloaded
condition. Make sure the machine has the proper
capacity rating for the objects or materials that
have to be hauled. Excessive loads will make
the machine more di󰀩cult to maneuver and stop,
will increase stopping time and distance, and will
increase the risk of instability.
14. Never operate your machine in an over stacked
condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or
over the sides of the tray can cause the machine
to be uncontrollably out of balance and control.

6ENGLISH
15. Use containers and tie-downs to secure loads.
Loose and/or insecure loads are more likely
to shift which can result in loss of stability and
control.
16. Always maintain a rm grip on handles. Loss of
control can increase the risk of personal injury.
17. Remove safety key when not in use. The safety
key prevents unwanted, powered use of the
machine, such as by children or other untrained
or unauthorized persons. Without the key, electric
power cannot be turned “on”.
18. This machine cannot be used on public roads.
Use of the wheelbarrow on a public road is unlaw-
ful and could result in local jurisdiction penalties in
addition it could result in personal injury.
19. Use a sturdy plate with anti-slip and detach-
ment prevention function when loading and/
or unloading this machine for transportation,
or moving this machine between di󰀨erent
levels. Make sure the plate inclination does not
exceed 12°, and operate the machine slowly
and carefully. Unstable and quick operation
may result in overturn and/or falling.

8. Do not operate the machine on upward slopes
greater than 12°.
9. If you nd an abnormality, stop the machine
on at ground. Before inspecting the machine,
lock the brake lever, and then turn the power
o󰀨.
10. Before operating the machine, make sure that
the handle of the dump unit is fully pulled
down and completely locked. If the lock is
incomplete, there is a risk of accident or injury as
the carrier or bucket may be tilted and the objects
fall when going downhill.
11. When operating the machine near walls, be
careful not to get your hands caught between
the handle and the wall.
12. 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 by
lightning.
13. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and
unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such
as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and
unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,
may cause the machine to lose traction and may
adversely a󰀨ect steering, braking and stability.
14. Do not touch the metal parts during use or
after use as they may get hot enough to cause
burns due to sunlight.
15. Be careful not to entangle the cords with the
load or obstacles.
16. When crossing a wooden bridge, etc., make
sure that the sum of the weight of product,
load capacity, and operator's weight does
not exceed the weight limit of the bridge, and
cross the bridge carefully at a constant speed.
17. Wear the gloves when operating the machine
in low temperature environments. Touching
the metal parts with bare hands may cause your
hands to stick.
18. If there are people or obstacles in the direction
of travel, avoid them in advance.
19. Do not scoop objects directly with the carrier
or bucket. Doing so may damage the machine
and cause an accident.
Operation on slopes
1. Do not cross on slopes.
2. Stop before the downhill, and be sure to
decrease speed and exercise caution.
3. If the speed is too fast when traveling downhill,
the beep sound is emitted. In this case, slow
down using the brake.
4. Exercise caution when starting or stopping the
machine on slopes.
5. As the loads become less stable on slopes,
rmly secure the loads with ropes.
6. As the machine becomes unstable depending
on the condition of the road, keep the load to a
minimum.
7. As the view is obscured on slopes, keep the
height of the load to a minimum.
8. Never stop the machine on slopes. Stop the
machine on at ground, and lock the brake

enough before operating on slopes. If the remain-
ing battery capacity is not enough, charge the
battery or replace it with a charged one.
12. When starting the machine on slopes, do not
place your foot behind the rear wheel since the
machine moves back a few centimeters.

7ENGLISH
Loading objects
1. Do not overload objects. When loading
objects, be sure to follow the instructions and
load limits in the manual.
2. Since the larger the load, the more di󰀩cult it
is to operate the machine, keep the load within
the range that does not a󰀨ect the operation.
3. Firmly secure the objects with ropes.
4. Load the objects within the carrier, bucket,
or at bucket. If the objects protrude from the
carrier, bucket, or at bucket, there is a risk of
accidents due to the objects falling or contact
obstacles such as walls.
5. Be sure that loaded objects are below eye
level. If the load is too high, it is dangerous
because the view is obscured. Also, there is a risk
of overturning and injury because the load is likely
to be unbalanced.
6. Load the objects on the carrier, bucket, or at
bucket evenly. If the objects are loaded unevenly,
there is a risk of overturning and injury because
the load is likely to be unbalanced.
7. Before loading the objects or operating the
machine, make sure that the handle of the
dump unit is fully pulled down and completely
locked.
8. Be sure to load heavy objects rst to keep
balance.
9. Do not extend the front and side rails on steep
slopes. Extend the side rails when lightweight
objects are loaded.
10. When extending the front and side rails, do not
extend them over the extension limit. Be sure
to extend the side rails so that the right and
left sides are the same length, and load objects
evenly.
11. Load and unload objects on at ground. Never
load or unload objects on slope.
12. When lifting and tilting the carrier or bucket,
hold the handles and frame rmly, and work in
a stable posture.
13. When loading liquids, be careful not to spill
them. Spilling them may cause slipping and cause
an injury.
Transportation of machine
1. Use the ladder rails that are at least 4 times
as long as the height of the truck bed, with
xtures suitable for the bed, with a non-slip
surface and su󰀩cient width, and capable of
withstanding the weight of the machine and
operator. Read the instruction manual of the
ladder rails carefully before use.
2. Before loading the machine, unload all objects
from the machine and remove mud and other
debris from the tires. Install the ladder rails on
a at and stable surface.
3. Before loading or unloading the machine,
make sure that there are no people around the
machine and the ladder rails. Load or unload
the machine at low speed, taking care to pre-
vent the machine from falling o󰀨 the ladder
rails, and not to hit your head on the ceiling of
the truck. Use extreme caution when loading
or unloading the machine backward.
4. When transporting the machine, lock the brake
lever, turn the power o󰀨, remove the batteries
and lock key, and x the machine securely.
Maintenance
1. Before storage or attempting to perform
inspections or maintenance, always be sure
to stop the machine on at ground and lock
the brake lever, and turn o󰀨 the machine, and

sive heat, explosion, or leak of electrolyte.
13. If the tool is not used for a long period of time,
the battery must be removed from the tool.
14. During and after use, the battery cartridge may
take on heat which can cause burns or low
temperature burns. Pay attention to the han-
dling of hot battery cartridges.
15. Do not touch the terminal of the tool imme-
diately after use as it may get hot enough to
cause burns.
16. Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the
terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery
cartridge. It may cause heating, catching re,
burst and malfunction of the tool or battery car-
tridge, resulting in burns or personal injury.
17. Unless the tool supports the use near
high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use
the battery cartridge near high-voltage electri-
cal power lines. It may result in a malfunction or
breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.
18. Keep the battery away from children.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries.
Use of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that
have been altered, may result in the battery bursting
causing res, personal injury and damage. It will
also void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and
charger.
Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove
it from the tool or the charger.
5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).

DESCRIPTION
Installing or removing battery
cartridge
CAUTION: Always switch o󰀨 the machine and
lock the brake lever before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
CAUTION: Always install the battery cartridge
fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the machine, causing
injury to you or someone around you.
CAUTION: Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
CAUTION: Do not use the high-temperature
battery cartridge. When the high-temperature bat-
tery cartridge is used, the machine stops automati-
cally before a short beep sound is emitted, and may
cause an injury.
CAUTION: Be careful not to pinch your n-
gers when opening or closing the battery cover.

Machine / battery protection system
The machine is equipped with a machine/battery
protection system. This system automatically cuts o󰀨
power to the motor to extend machine and battery life.
The machine will automatically stop during operation
if the machine or battery cartridge is under one of the
following conditions.
A short beep sound or long beep sound is emitted
before the machine stops automatically. The battery
indicators and lamps on the control panel blink while the
beep sound is emitted.
Overload protection
When the machine/battery is operated in a manner
that causes it to draw an abnormally high current,
the machine automatically stops and the main power
lamp blinks in green. In this situation, turn the machine
o󰀨 and stop the application that caused the machine
to become overloaded such as reducing the loaded
objects. Then turn the machine on to restart.

17 ENGLISH
Overheat protection
When the machine is overheated, the machine stops automati-
cally and the main power lamp lights up in red. In this case, let the
machine and battery cool before turning the machine on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the main power
lamp and the corresponding battery indicator blink in red.
In this case, switch the battery cartridges, or change the
battery cartridges to fully charged ones, or remove the
battery cartridges from the machine and charge them.
NOTE: The main power lamp blinks in red when the
battery is overheated.
Protections against other causes
NOTICE: The main power lamp blinks in green
and red alternately when the abnormality occurs
in the machine. In this case, refer to the section
for troubleshooting.
Protection system is also designed for other causes that could
damage the machine and allows the machine to stop automati-
cally. Take all the following steps to clear the causes, when the
machine has been brought to a temporary halt or stop in operation.
1. Turn the machine o󰀨, and then turn it on again to restart.
2. Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with
recharged battery(ies).
3. Let the machine and battery(ies) cool down.
NOTICE: If no improvement can be found or
the machine stops due to a cause not described
above, refer to the section for troubleshooting.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
CAUTION: Before checking the remaining
battery capacities or switching the battery car-
tridge, be sure to stop the machine.
CAUTION: When the battery capacity
becomes low, a short beep sound is emitted. In
this case, lock the brake lever, and then switch
the battery cartridges to charged ones or charge
the battery cartridges. If you continue to operate the
machine at low battery capacity and the remaining
battery capacity runs out, a long beep sound is emit-
ted and the machine automatically stops and this may
cause an accident or injury.
CAUTION: If the beep sound is emitted while
operating on slopes, move the machine to a safe
place, lock the brake lever, and then switch the
battery cartridges to charged ones or charge the
battery cartridges.
CAUTION: If the load is large and the beep
sound is emitted while operating on slopes, lock
the brake lever and pay attention to safety and
switch the battery cartridges to charged ones.
Move the machine to a safe place and lock the
brake lever. Reduce the load before operating the
machine again. For details, refer to the section for
troubleshooting on slope.
