Safety Precautions
• Avoid running the engine indoors. The
exhaust gases contain harmful carbon
monoxide.
• Never use your portable gas drill under
circumstances like those described below:
1. When the ground is slippery or when
other conditions exist which might
make it not possible to maintain a
steady posture while using the portable
gas drill.
2. At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any
other times when your field of vision
might be limited and it would be difficult
to gain a clear view of the area where
the portable gas drill is to be used to
ensure safety.
3. During rain storms, during lightning
storms, at times of strong or gale-force
winds, or at any other times when
weather conditions might make it
unsafe to use this product.
• When using this product for the first time,
before beginning actual work, take the
portable gas drill to a wide, clear, open
space, turn on the power, and practice
handling the portable gas drill until you are
sure that you will be able to handle in it
properly in actual operation.
• Lack of sleep, tiredness, or physical
exhaustion results in lower attention
spans, and this in turn leads to accidents
and injury. When planning your work
schedule, allow plenty of time to perform
the work of cutting and allow plenty of
time for rest. Limit the amount of time
over which the portable gas drill is to be
used continuously to somewhere around
30~40 minutes per session, and take
10~20 minutes of rest between work
sessions. Also try to keep the total amount
of work performed in a single day under 2
hours or less.
Safety Precautions
■ WORK GEAR AND CLOTHING
• When using your portable gas drill, always
be sure to wear strong, durable, work
clothing; shirts should be long-sleeved
shirts and pants should be full-length
pants reaching down to the ankles.
• Always be sure to wear and helmet and
face protector when using your portable
gas drill.
• When using your portable gas drill, always
be sure to wear thick work gloves to
protect your hands and non-slip-sole work
boots to prevent you from slipping. Never
use your portable gas drill when wearing
pants with loose cuffs, when wearing
sandals, or when barefoot.
•When using your portable gas drill for an
extended period of time, you should wear
ear protectors to protect yourself from loss
of hearing from overexposure to high
levels of sound.
■ WARNINGS CONSIDERING HANDLING
OF FUEL
• The engine of the portable gas drill is
designed to run on a mixed fuel which
contains highly flammable gasoline. This
fuel is highly flammable and you should
never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of
the portable gas drill in any place where
there is a boiler, stove, wood fire,
electrical sparks, welding sparks, or any
other source of heat or fire which might
ignite the fuel.
• Smoking while operating the portable gas
drill or refilling its fuel tank is extremely
dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the portable gas drill
at all times.
•When refilling the tank always turn off the
engine first and take a careful look around
to make sure that there are no sparks or
open flames anywhere nearby before
refueling.
• If any fuel spillage occurs during refueling,
always be sure to use a dry rag to wipe
any fuel which has been spilled onto the
portable gas drill before turning the engine
back on again.
• After refueling, screw the fuel cap back
tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry
the portable gas drill to a spot 10feet (3m)
or more away from where it was refueled
before turning on the engine.

Safety Precautions
■ THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE USING
YOUR PORTABLE GAS DRILL
• Before beginning work, look around
carefully to get a feel for the shape of the
land, and whether or not there are any
obstacles which might get in the way while
working, and remove any obstacles which
can be cleared away before beginning
work.
• The area within a perimeter of 50feet
(15m) of the person using the portable
gas drill should be considered a
hazardous area into which no one should
enter while the portable gas drill is in use,
and when necessary yellow warning rope,
warning signs, or some other form of
warnings should be placed around the
perimeter of the area. When work is to be
performed simultaneously by two or more
persons, care should also be taken to
constantly look around or otherwise check
for the presence and locations of other
people using portable gas drill within the
work area so as to maintain a distance
between each person sufficient to ensure
safety.
• Before beginning work, each component
of the portable gas drill should be checked
to make sure that it is in proper working
order and to make sure that there are no
loose screws or bolts, fuel leaks, ruptures,
dents, or any other problems which might
interfere with safe operation. Be especially
careful at this time to check that there is
nothing wrong with the drills or with the
joints by which the drills are attached to
the portable gas drill.
■ THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE
STARTING UP THE ENGINE
• Take a careful look around to make sure
that no obstacles exist within a perimeter
of 15feet (5m)or less around the portable
gas drill before starting the engine.
• The portable gas drill is equipped with a
centrifugal clutch mechanism which
causes the drills to begin to rotate as soon
as the engine is started by putting the
throttle into the start position. When
starting the engine, hold it firmly in place
so as to ensure that nor the throttle may
not come into contact with any obstacles
when the engine starts up.
• Never place the throttle into the high
speed position when starting the engine.
• After starting up the engine, check to
make sure that the drills stop rotating
when the throttle is moved fully back to its
original position. If the drills continue to
rotate even after the throttle has been
moved fully back, turn off the engine and
take the unit to your authorized Red Max
servicing dealer for repair.
■ AVOID NOISE PROBLEM
Check and follow the local regulations
as to sound level and hours of
operations for portable gas drill.
• In general, operate portable gas drill
between 8a.m.and 5p.m.on week days
and 9a.m.to 5p.m.weekends. Avoid using
portable gas drill late at night and/or early
in the morning.
NOTE
■
THINGS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN
USING YOUR PORTABLE GAS DRILL
•When using your portable gas drill, grip
the handles of the portable gas drill firmly
with both hands, place your feet slightly
apart (slightly further apart than the width
of your shoulders) so that your weight is
distributed evenly across both legs, and
always be sure to maintain a steady, even
posture while working.
•Maintain the speed of the engine at the
level required to perform drilling work, and
never raise the speed of the engine above
the level necessary.
• Always be sure never to allow other
persons to come within the work area
while drilling.
• Be especially careful not to slip if it is
raining or if rain has just stopped, as the
ground is likely to be slippery at such
times.
• If the grass or other object gets caught in
the drill during operation, always be sure
to turn off the engine before removing the
object.
• Guard against hazardous situations at all
times. Warn adults to keep pets and
children away from the area. Establish a
safe method for gaining your attention
during operation. Be careful if you are
approached.
• If someone calls out or otherwise
interrupts you while working, always be
sure to turn off the engine before turning
around.
• Keep operation area clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets.
• Never touch the spark plug or plug cord
while the engine is in operation. Doing so
may result in being subjected to an
electrical shock.
Safety Precautions
•Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or
other metallic parts of the engine while the
engine is in operation or immediately after
shutting down the engine. These metallic
parts reach high temperatures during
operation and doing so could result in
serious burns.
• When you finish drilling in one location
and wish to continue work in another spot,
turn off the engine before carrying it to the
new location.
• Never transport the portable gas drill over
rough roads over long distances without
first removing all fuel from the fuel tank, as
doing so might cause fuel to leak from the
tank as a result of shocks absorbed during
transport.
