Before Starting
WARNING
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger lockout, slide control, drilling tool
and auger brake. The throttle trigger
must move freely and always spring
back to the idle position. Never attempt
to modify the controls or safety devices.
Regular maintenance is important in this
respect. Make sure the drilling tool is in
good condition and properly connected.
WARNING
Check fuel system for leaks, especially
the visible parts, e.g., filler cap, hose
connections, manual fuel pump (only for
power tools equipped with a manual fuel
pump). Do not start the engine if there
are leaks or damage – risk of fire! Have
the machine repaired by a servicing
dealer before using it.
WARNING
Never operate your power tool if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or
maintained, or not completely or
securely assembled.
WARNING
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
6
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
Auger Brake
Your earth auger model is equipped with
an auger brake, which is designed to
reduce the risk of injury from reactive
forces by stopping the rotation of the
auger / powerhead when the brake
activating lever is engaged. It should
also be used during starting and when
unwinding a trapped auger. See the
chapter on "Auger Brake" for information
on engagement of the brake.
Starting
Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m)
from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
WARNING
Your earth auger should be started only
when it is held steady by the operator.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of loss of control, be
sure that the auger brake is engaged.
When the engine starts at starting
throttle, engine speed will be fast
enough for the clutch to engage and, if
the auger brake is not engaged, turn the
drilling tool.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to idle
speed.
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
WARNING
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
