Safety Warnings - Makita DCU180 Manuel D'instructions

Do not change the direction on steep
slopes.
Load and unload objects on flat
ground.
Load objects on the carrier or bucket
evenly.
This machine cannot be used on the
public road.
Do not use for transporting persons.
Do not expose to rain.
To cancel the beep sound, release
the switch trigger and pull the brake
lever.
Do not stare into beam.
Intended use
The machine is intended for loading and carrying
objects with battery powered assistance.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN62841:
Sound pressure level (L
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841:
Work mode: operation without load
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has
been measured in accordance with the standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool with
another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
emission value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire 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.
Battery powered wheelbarrow safety
warnings
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/materials.
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 affect steering, braking and stability.
Do not operate the machine on excessively
4.
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
affect 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 stopping,
loading and unloading and never leave machine unat-
tended 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.
