DO NOT use the Auger if the Bit is dull, bent, or damaged.
Drill with the Engine running at full speed . Fully squeeze the Throttle to maintain a steady drilling
speed.
Use this Auger with both hands only. Using Auger with only one hand can easily result in loss of control.
When shutting off the Engine, make sure the Auger has stopped before setting the tool down.
Fire Hazard! DO NOT fill fuel tank while engine is running. DO NOT operate if gasoline has been spilled.
Clean spilled gasoline before starting engine.
DO NOT
operate near pilot light or open flame.
DO NOT touch engine during use. Let engine cool down after use.
Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the engine.
Only use a suitable means of transport and lifting devices with sufficient weight bearing capacity when
transporting the Auger. Secure the Auger on transport vehicles to prevent it from rolling, slipping, and
tilting.
Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
DO NOT
leave the Auger unattended when it is running. Turn off the Auger (and remove safety keys, if
available) before leaving the work area.
The Auger can produce high noise levels. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 dBA is hazardous
to hearing. Wear ear protection when operating the Auger or when working nearby while it is operating.
Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses, hearing protection, and NIOSH-approved dust mask/ respirator
under a full-face shield along with steel-toed work boots during use.
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. Caution is
necessary when near the engine’s magneto or recoil starter.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop
use immediately.
Dress properly.
DO NOT
wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
DO NOT smoke, or allow sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition around the Auger, especially when
refueling.
When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and cleaning
materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in a bottom-ventilated,
covered, metal container.
Before use, check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the Auger’s operation. If damaged, have the Auger serviced before using.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor
and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened
from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any
symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
Before service, maintenance, or cleaning: Turn the engine switch to its “OFF” position. Allow the engine
to completely cool. Then, remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
