Warning!
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill
quantities of fuel. In order
to reduce the risk of fuel
spillage and fire, tighten the fuel filler cap
by hand with as much force as possible.
Operating the earth auger
The earth auger should be operated by
one person.
To reduce the risk of injury from reactive
forces, the operator must have a firm
grip on the machine and a good foothold
before the throttle is opened to start the
earth auger.
Preparation for the use of the earth
auger
You should always inspect your earth
auger for proper condition and operation
before starting it. Pay special attention to
the throttle trigger, throttle trigger
interlock, stop switch, drilling tool and
auger brake and their proper function.

Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from a turning
drilling tool or from reactive forces, the
throttle trigger must move freely and
return immediately to the idle position
when it is released. Regular
maintenance is important in this respect.
Check the condition and the tightness of
the drilling tool.
Auger Brake
Your model earth auger 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.
!
Warning!
Never operate your earth auger if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or not
completely and securely assembled.
Injury could result.
