monoxide. This is a poison you
cannot see or smell.

NEVER use inside a home or garage,
EVEN IF doors and windows are
open.

Only use OUTSIDE and far away
from windows, doors, and vents.

Do not lock trigger on. Always use 2.
with both hands on handles.

Buried utility lines may be unmarked; 3.
contact utility companies before
drilling. Striking utility lines may cause
severe personal injury or death.

Never disable safety switches or 6.
components.

Do not carry between holes with 7.

equipment, especially while it is
operating.

IMPORTANT! 12. Your Warranty is
voided if:

You do not operate the Auger Drill a.
with the proper 25:1 fuel mix in
its fuel tank. Do not run the Engine

with an improper fuel mix, low or no
fuel mix. Running the Engine with an
improper fuel mix, low or no fuel mix,
will permanently damage the unit.

You do not operate the Auger b.
Drill with the proper amount of
SAE 80-90 gear oil in its Gearbox.

Do not run the Auger Drill with low
or no gear oil. Running the Auger
Drill with low or no gear oil will
permanently damage the unit.

Do not leave the equipment 13.
unattended when it is running. Turn

off the equipment (and remove safety
keys, if available) before leaving the
work area.

Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, 14.
heavy duty work gloves, and steel­toed heavy-duty work boots during
setup and use.

Maintain a rm grip on the Auger 15.

Drill with both hands and be aware
of the strong start-up torque of the

must be turned off immediately.

Do not use the Auger Drill if the 17.
Auger is dull, bent, or damaged.

Drill with the Engine running at 18.
full speed. Fully squeeze the Speed

Control Lever to maintain a steady
drilling speed.

Keep the Auger clean and 19.
undamaged.

Keep all guards and safety devices 20.
in proper working order and
properly adjusted.

Before starting the Engine, make 21.
sure the Auger is not contacting
any object.

should be off during distributor
adjustment.

Use only accessories that are 24.
recommended by Harbor Freight
Tools for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one piece of
equipment may become hazardous
when used on another piece of
equipment.

Do not operate in explosive 25.
atmospheres, such as in the

presence of ammable liquids, gases,

or dust. Gasoline-powered engines
may ignite the dust or fumes.

Stay alert, watch what you are 26.
doing and use common sense when
operating this piece of equipment.
Do not use this piece of equipment

while tired or under the inuence of

drugs, alcohol or medication.
Do not overreach. Keep proper 27.

footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
equipment in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose 28.
clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.

When shutting off the Engine, 22.
make sure the Auger has stopped
before setting the tool down.

People with pacemakers should 23.
consult their physician(s) before

use. Electromagnetic elds in close

proximity to a heart pacemaker
could cause pacemaker interference
or pacemaker failure. Caution is
necessary when near the engine’s
magneto or recoil starter. Engine

Parts, especially exhaust system 29.
components, get very hot during use.
Stay clear of hot parts.

Do not cover the engine or equipment 30.
during operation.

Keep the equipment, engine, and 31.
surrounding area clean at all times.

Use the equipment, accessories, etc., 32.
in accordance with these instructions

and in the manner intended for the
particular type of equipment, taking
into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use
of the equipment for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

Do not operate the equipment with 33.
known leaks in the engine’s fuel
system.

This product contains or, when 34.
used, produces a chemical known
to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. (California Health
& Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

When spills of fuel or oil occur, they 35.
must be cleaned up immediately.

materials as per any local, state,
or federal codes and regulations.
Store oil rags in a bottom-ventilated,
covered, metal container.

permanent physical injury, particularly
to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related
injury:

Anyone using vibrating tools regularly 1.
or for an extended period should

rst be examined by a doctor and

then have regular medical check­ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from
use. Pregnant women or people
who have impaired blood circulation
to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud’s Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any symptoms
related to vibration (such as tingling,

numbness, and white or blue ngers),

seek medical advice as soon as
possible.

Do not smoke during use. Nicotine 2.
reduces the blood supply to the

hands and ngers, increasing the risk

of vibration-related injury.

Before use, check for misalignment 36.
or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the equipment’s
operation. If damaged, have the
equipment serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained equipment.

Use the correct equipment for the 37.
application. Do not modify the
equipment and do not use the
equipment for a purpose for which it
is not intended.

Vibration Hazard:

This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or

Wear suitable gloves to reduce the 3.
vibration effects on the user.

Use tools with the lowest vibration 4.
when there is a choice between
different processes.

Include vibration-free periods each 5.
day of work.

Grip tool as lightly as possible (while 6.
still keeping safe control of it). Let
the tool do the work.

To reduce vibration, maintain the tool 7.
as explained in this manual. If any
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

Before service, maintenance, or 1.
cleaning:

Turn the engine switch to its a.
“OFF” position.

Store equipment out of the reach of 7.
children.

Follow scheduled engine and 8.
equipment maintenance.

Refueling Precautions:9.

Allow the engine to completely b.
cool.

Then, remove the spark plug c.
wire(s) from the spark plug(s).

Keep all safety guards in place and 2.
in proper working order. Safety

guards include mufer, air cleaner,

mechanical guards, and heat shields,
among other guards.

Do not alter or adjust any part of 3.
the equipment or its engine that
is sealed by the manufacturer

or distributor. Only a qualied

service technician may adjust
parts that may increase or
decrease governed engine speed.

Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, 4.
heavy-duty work gloves, and dust
mask/respirator during service.

Do not smoke, or allow sparks, a.

ames, or other sources of ignition

around the equipment, especially
when refuelling.

Do not rell the fuel tank while the b.
engine is running or hot.

Do not ll fuel tank to the top. Leave c.
a little room for the fuel to expand as
needed.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area only.d.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS.

Maintain labels and nameplates 5.
on the equipment. These carry
important information. If unreadable
or missing, contact Harbor Freight
Tools for a replacement.

Have the equipment serviced by a 6.

qualied repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the
