Special safety instructions
The motor uses lubricated petrol. Never use pure
leaded petrol, diesel or other fuels.
The petrol must be a mixture of 1 part two-stroke
oil to 25 parts unleaded 95-octane petrol.
Ensure the petrol and oil are well mixed before
using.
Mix and add the fuel in a well-ventilated area.
Fuel should be stored out of the reach of children
in a clearly marked and approved container.
Remove any spilt fuel with a dry cloth after
refuelling.
Smoking and the use of naked fame when
refuelling or using the earth auger should be
avoided.
Never fill with fuel when the motor is running.
Never fill with fuel in a closed room.
Do not overfill with fuel, as this can cause a re
hazard.
Check that the fuel cap is tightly closed, as fuel
leaks can cause a re hazard.
The motor parts become very hot when in use.
Avoid touching and do not let the earth auger
come into contact with any flamable materials
(dry grass, dry leaves etc) whilst the motor is hot.
For outdoor use only. The exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons that are
highly dangerous to humans and animals if
inhaled.
Do not use the earth auger when it is raining or
snowing.
Always use ear protectors, safety glasses, overalls
and safety footwear when using the earth auger.
Never use the earth auger if the throttle and safety
switch are not functioning correctly. Do not
obstruct or in any other way deactivate the safety
switch.
Never start the motor without the air filter in place
or if the silencer is defective.
Always follow the motor maintenance instructions
under “Cleaning and Maintenance”.
Beware that the earth auger may vibrate violently
or rebound if you hit a stone, roots or other hard
material in the ground.
Make sure that you do not accidentally drill into
electricity or telephone cables, sewage or drainage
pipes, etc.
