SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
- This insert sheet is not a substitute for reading the operator’s manual. To reduce the risk of injury or death, user must read and understand the operator’s manual before using this product.
- To prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the product when assembling parts.
- Always install the powerhead cover when using the auger in snow, ice, or wet conditions. Do not allow snow, ice, or rain on the auger housing or battery pack. Wipe the auger clean with a dry cloth occasionally. If the cover begins to leak, replace the cover before using the auger.
- The ice blade is extremely sharp. Use extreme caution when drilling a hole or replacing the blade. Install the blade guard after each use. Always store with blade guard attached.
- Wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves. Wear non-skid, protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your body, hair, drawstrings, scarves, hats, gloves, and loose clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- Do not operate any power tool under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- This product translates considerable rotational forces to the operator. Make sure your feet are firmly planted. Hold both handles firmly while operating the auger.
- Do not leave the auger unattended outdoors. Store indoors while not in use.
- When drilling ice, do not push down on the auger. If the auger begins to drill slowly the bit may need to be sharpened or replaced.
- KEEP THE POWERHEAD AND BATTERY DRY AT ALL TIMES. After the ice bit breaks through the surface, water may overflow through the hole. To minimize water splash, slow the speed before the drill breaks through the ice surface, then raise the tool slowly.
- Do not expose the auger powerhead or battery to water.
- Always keep the blade guard on the auger except when in use. Use caution when removing or installing the blade guard. The cutting blades are very sharp.
- Never use a hose, water, or any liquids to clean or rinse off the auger powerhead. Corrosive liquids, water, and chemicals can enter the auger powerhead and/or battery pack and damage the electronic components, which can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and serious personal injury.
