Make sure the auger is securely attached to the powerhead during use.
Never carry the machine with the engine running. Always hold the handlebars when carrying the

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENGINE
WARNING!
Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
Exhaust fumes from combustion engines contain carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a deadly,
colourless, tasteless, and odourless gas which may be present even if you do not smell or see any engine
exhaust fumes. Levels of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly, can be present for days in an enclosed
area that has poor ventilation. Any level of carbon monoxide, if inhaled, can cause headaches,
drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion and eventually death. If you experience any of these
symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention immediately.
