Operating Precautions
1.Buried utility lines may be unmarked; contact utility companies before drilling. Contacting utility lines may cause severe personal injury or death.
2.Check for landscape fabric before drilling.
Landscape fabric may get pulled into the Bit and also pull the operator into the Bit.
Before drilling, cut a hole in the landscape fabric sufficiently larger than the diameter of the Auger to prevent contact or entanglement with the fabric.
3.Keep everyone other than the operator
at least 10 feet from the Auger during operation. People using hand tools should not move or remove soil-pile while the Auger is operating.
Always keep children away from the Auger, especially while it is operating.
4.To prevent severe personal injury or dismemberment from rotating Bit:
Stand on flat, level, solid surface and brace against torque during use. Keep hands and feet away from Bit and hole when Engine is running.
5.CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD Using an engine indoors
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Engine exhaust contains carbon 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.
6.Do not lock trigger on.
Never disable safety switches or components.
7.Maintain a firm grip on the Auger with both hands and be aware of the strong start-up torque of the tool.
8.Disconnect and insulate spark plug wire before maintenance and/or changing bits.
9.Do not carry between holes with Engine running.
10.Carry by handle only; not by Bit.
11.Keep your thumb near the Power Switch in the event the Auger must be turned off immediately.
12.Do not use the Auger if the Bit is dull, bent, or damaged.
13.Drill with the Engine running at full speed.
Fully squeeze the Throttle to maintain a steady drilling speed.
14.When shutting off the Engine, make sure the Auger has stopped before setting the tool down.
15.Fire Hazard! Do not fill gas tank while Engine is running. Do not operate if gasoline has been spilled. Clean spilled gasoline before starting Engine.
Do not operate near pilot light or open flame.
16.Do not touch Engine during use. Let Engine cool down after use.
17.Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the Engine.

39.Use the correct Auger for the application. Do not modify the Auger and do not use the
Auger for a purpose for which it is not intended.
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1.Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups 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 fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2.Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3.Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
4.Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5.Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6.To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
