HOLE AUGER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
Contact your local utility for underground service
marking before using this product to avoid contact
with underground utilities.
WARNING!
Maintain a firm grip on the handles with both hands
while using the auger. Keep the auger bit away
from your body and below waist level.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the auger
near any buried electrical power cables. Contact with or
use near buried electrical power cables may cause seri-
ous injury or electric shock resulting in death.
To reduce the risk of explosion, never use the auger near
any buried gas lines, including water lines and pipes.
Contact with or use near buried water or gas lines may
result in bursting of water lines and explosion from gas
lines which may cause serious injury or death.
Replace augers if cracked, bent, or damaged in any way.
Operating the tool with a damaged auger can result in
serious injury.
Never use the auger with the handles above waist level.
Operation above the waist restricts control of the auger
and may increase the risk of injury.
Be sure the auger bit is properly installed and securely
fastened. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Replace auger pin if it is bent or damaged.
Make sure the handles are properly and securely
attached.
Consider the environment in which you are working. Keep
the working area free from electric cables or underground
utilities.
Do not use with any snow or ice accessories.
Use only the manufacturer's replacement augers. Do not
use any other attachment.
Replace the auger bit immediately if there are any cracks
or any damage.
Do not touch the auger bit when the product is switched
on.
If the auger bit jams, stop the product immediately.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles during operation.
Do not use the product with the handle above waist level
to avoid serious chest injuries when the product hits a
hard object.

duce the risk of serious personal injury.

Ensure all handles are properly fitted and are in good
condition.

area and secure footing.
Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose

Keep all parts of the body away from the auger. The
auger will continue to move after the switch is turned off.
A moment of inattention while operating the auger may
result in serious personal injury.
Hold the auger tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the auger may contact hidden wiring. The
auger contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the auger "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Store the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up or up
high to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out

Stop the motor, wait until all moving parts come to a com-

electronic components and/or the battery packs, which
can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and
serious personal injury. Remove any buildup of dirt and
debris by wiping the product clean with a dry cloth oc-
casionally.
