• When the earth auger is running, grip the left handle firmly with your left hand and the right handle with your right hand.
• Never raise the earth auger above shoulder height.

WARNING ­ Striking a hard object in the earth with the turning auger and the resulting slowing or stopping of the auger creates reactive forces. The transfer of rotational (reactive) forces can cause the auger power head and handles to rotate suddenly in a counterclockwise direction and can result in loss of control or cause the handle frame to hit the operator or throw him to the ground, resulting in serious injury

Precautions to Reduce Vibration Risk

• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Keep the bit sharp and the earth auger, well maintained. A dull bit will increase cutting time, will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands.
• Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant, excessive pressures, take frequent breaks. All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain white finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.

Maintenance Precaution

WARNING ­ Never operate an earth auger that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled.
WARNING ­ Be sure that the bit stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the bit moves at idle speed, the carburettor may need adjusting, see “Operation-Carburetor Adjusting”.
Section. If the bit moves at idle speed after adjustment has been made, contact a Servicing Dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.
