inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust
encountered.
WARNING
Work carefully in rocky ground or where
other solid objects may be present.
Keep throttle feed pressure to a
minimum. If you feel or hear the drilling
tool strike a solid object, release the
throttle trigger immediately and remove
the object before drilling is continued.
When drilling in heavy clay soil, bore
about 1/3 way and remove the auger
from the hole. Clean off auger drilling
tool then continue in slow steps
frequently clearing tool.
WARNING
You should hold your earth auger firmly
to control sudden jolts and reactive
forces. Be prepared to release the
throttle completely if the forces become
too great. If reactive forces are not
controlled, rotation of the handles may
result in severe jerking and loss of
control and may cause the handle frame
to strike you or throw you to the ground.
Your earth auger model is equipped with
an auger brake. If the auger hits
something it cannot drill through and the
powerhead begins to rotate so that the
auger brake activating lever strikes the
operator’s thigh and engages, the brake
is designed to stop the rotation of the
powerhead.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury from reactive forces, never
operate your earth auger without a
properly functioning auger brake.
If the auger becomes trapped in the
drillhole, turn off the engine immediately
and remove as described in the chapter
entitled "Releasing a Trapped Auger."
DANGER
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrocution and
damage to property, always be alert for
underground pipes and cables and for
overhead wires. Before drilling, obtain
the necessary plans and permits.
Contact your local utility company or
your locator service, such as "Miss
Utility" or "One Call," for information as
to cable and pipe locations. Where
necessary, confirm actual location by
use of devices such as cable detectors
and/or by carefully dug trenches. Stay
clear of overhead electrical wires when
backing the drilling tool out of the hole. If
any portion of the machine strikes a
wire, it will cause electrical shock and
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Before working with an ice auger
attachment on frozen ponds, lakes or
streams, check with local authorities and
take all necessary precautions to ensure
safe ice thickness.
WARNING
Thrown objects may ricochet and strike
the operator.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle lock, as you do not have
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control to 0 or STOP.
WARNING
When taking the drilling tool out of the
hole, lift the machine vertically so that
the tool comes out straight without
canting. To minimize splashing when
drilling ice holes, back off the throttle
when the drilling tool breaks through the
Striking something hard
in the earth, such as a
rock or gravel, may cause
the drilling tool to slow
down suddenly or stop. In
such a situation, some or
all of the rotational force
(reactive force) is trans-
ferred to the powerhead
and handle frame of the
earth auger which can
cause the auger power-
head and handles to
rotate suddenly in a
counterclockwise
direction.
Contact with electrical
cables or wires can
cause serious injury or
death as a result of elec-
trical shock. This unit is
not insulated.
