„ Do not operate in explosive atmospheres such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or flammable
dust. If in doubt, wait for dust to settle before using.
„ Be sure the area is clear of other people before moving.
Do not allow children, bystanders, or pets in your work
area when your garden cart is being moved.
„ Do not charge appliance in rain, or in wet locations.
„ Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.
„ Remove or disconnect battery before servicing,
cleaning or removing material from the gardening
appliance.
„ Use only the following type and size battery(ies):
29717/40V 2Ah Lithium-ion battery, 29727/40V 4Ah
Lithium-ion battery.
„ Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
„ Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
„ Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short
the battery with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause burns.
„ Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber
gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
„ Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
„ Don't Force Appliance - It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it
was designed.
„ Store Idle Appliance Indoors - When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or
locked-up place - out of reach of children.
„ Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the
appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this manual.
„ 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 for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
„ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
English (Original instructions)
all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
„ 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.
„ 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.
Never stand in the bucket to activate the garden cart.
movinG on slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall
accidents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes
require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
drive on it.
„ Use caution on slopes. Whenever possible, move up
and down the slope at an angle.
„ Exercise caution when changing directions on slopes.
„ Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, or any
other potential object that your garden cart could hit.
„ Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Be careful on uneven
terrain to avoid overturning your garden cart. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
„ When moving down slopes, always keep your garden
cart in low gear and moving. The friction of the motor
helps you keep better control of your garden cart.
„ Use caution when carrying heavy loads up slopes. If
your garden cart is overloaded, the safety fuse may trip
and allow the garden cart to rollback toward you, which
may cause severe injury.
„ Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually.
„ Do not move near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The garden cart could suddenly turnover if a wheel is
over the edge of a cliff or ditch or if an edge caves in.
„ Do not park your garden cart on hills or steep slopes.
