– Do not let bystanders, especially children and animals, go near operating site. The hole digging process may cause flying particles being
emitted at high velocity and striking the operator and onlookers. This may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
– Minors should never be allowed to operate the earth auger. There is potential risk of explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning, and it may result
in serious personal injury or death.
– Operators must be of adequate height so that for any given operating configuration, the operator handle remain below their shoulder sockets.
– Continuous and regular users must closely monitor the condition of their hands and fingers. After each period of use, perform exercise to
restore normal blood circulation. Prolonged use of the earth auger exposes the operator to vibrations which may produce Whitefinger Disease
(Raynaud’s Phenomenon) and may result in serious personal injury.
– Guard against the possibility of back related injuries. Always lift the earth auger with leg muscles and not with the back.
– Before use always check the equipment is safe for operation:
Check the security of the auger bit and proper functioning of the throttle control.
Rotation of the auger bit during idling speed is not permitted. Check with your service center for adjustment if in doubt.
– Start the engine only in accordance with the instructions. Do not use any other methods for starting the engine!
– Use the tools only for such applications as specified.
– Do not start the engine before the entire assembly is done. Operation of the device is only permitted after all the appropriate accessories are
attached!
– Know how the controls operate. Know how to stop the engine quickly in an emergency.
– The engine is to be switched off immediately in case of any engine problems.
– Never hold the equipment with one hand during use. During operation always hold the equipment with both hands.
– Always ensure a safe footing.
– Do not operate near a vertical wall, foundation or other structures where kickback forces let your body parts hit those structures. Always
maintain a safe distance from those types of structures. Otherwise it may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
– Avoid inhalation of the exhaust gases. Never run the engine in enclosed rooms (risk of gas poisoning). Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas.
– Switch off the engine when resting or leaving the equipment unattended, and place it in a safe location to prevent danger to others or damage
to the machine.
– Never put the hot equipment onto dry grass or any combustible materials.
– Never operate the engine with faulty exhaust muffler.
– Shut off the engine during transport.
– Ensure safe position of the equipment during car transportation to avoid fuel leakage.
– When transporting, always disconnect the auger bit, and the fuel tank must be completely empty.
– When unloading the equipment from the truck, never drop the engine to the ground or this may severely damage the fuel tank.
– Except in case of emergency, never drop or throw the equipment to the ground or this may severely damage the equipment.
– Remember to lift the entire equipment from the ground when moving the equipment. Dragging the fuel tank is highly dangerous and may cause
damage and leakage of fuel, possibly causing fire.
Refuelling
– Shut off the engine during refueling, keep away from open flames and
do not smoke.
– Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground lever
(risk of explosions).
– Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products. Do not inhale fuel vapor.
Always wear protective gloves during refueling. Change and clean
protective clothing at regular intervals.
– Take care not to spill either fuel or oil in order to prevent soil
contamination (environmental protection). Clean the earth auger
immediately after fuel has been spilt.
– Avoid any fuel contact with your clothing. Change your clothing
immediately if fuel has been spilt on it (to prevent clothing catching
fire).
– Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap. Change location to start the engine
(at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from the place of refueling).
– Inspect the fuel tank cap at regular intervals making sure that it can be securely fastened and does not leak.
– Transport and store fuel in approved containers only. Make sure the stored fuel is not accessible to children.
– Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Use extreme caution when handling gasoline.
– Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Do not remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running. Do not operate an
engine without a fuel tank cap.
Method of operation
– Give complete attention to the job. Do not chew gum, smoke or use smokeless tobacco while operating the earth auger. Do not eat nor drink
while operating the earth auger.
– Plan to take work breaks, it helps you to maintain proper mental and physical alertness.
– Do not operate the earth auger in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials.
– Only one operator operates the earth auger. Use of an earth auger by more than one operator may lead to confusion and loss of control,
resulting in damage and/or personal injury. Do not operate the earth auger with an improper number of operators.
– Do not use a shovel or foreign object to remove the loose soil from a hole area while the earth auger is in use. Otherwise the shovel or foreign
object may become entrapped by the rotating auger bit, and it may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
– Always stand opposite side of hot engine muffler. Hold the handle by left hand. Hold the throttle by right hand. Reversed hand positioning
causes the hot engine muffler closer to the operator’s body, and it may result in injury from the hot muffler or breathing Carbon Monoxide fumes
during operation.
– Pay attention to the environment. Avoid unnecessary throttle operation for less pollution and noise emissions. Adjust the carburetor correctly.
