!Warning!
To reduce the risk of loss of control, be
sure that the earth auger brake is
engaged before starting. Because the
engine speed at starting throttle is fast
enough for the clutch to drive the drilling
tool, the tool will turn unless the auger
brake is engaged.
To reduce the risk of injury from a turning
drilling tool or from reactive forces, the
throttle trigger must move freely and
return immediately to the idle position
when it is released. Regular
maintenance is important in this respect.
Check the condition and the tightness of
the drilling tool.
Auger Brake
Your model earth auger is equipped with
an auger brake, which is designed to
reduce the risk of injury from reactive
forces by stopping the rotation of the
auger / powerhead when the brake
activating lever is engaged. It should
also be used during starting and when
unwinding a trapped auger. See the
chapter on "Auger brake" for information
on engagement of the brake.
!
Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, don't
wrap the starter rope around your
hands. Do not allow the grip to snap
back, but guide the starter rope slowly to
permit the rope to rewind properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to hand or fingers and
may damage the starter mechanism.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
!Warning!
Your earth auger should be started only
when it is held steady by the operator.
When starting your earth auger, place it
on firm clean ground or other solid
surface in an open area. Maintain good
balance and secure footing.
Important Adjustments
!
Warning!
!
Warning!
At correct idle speed, the drilling tool
should not rotate. For directions to
adjust idle speed, see the appropriate
section of your owner's manual. To
reduce the risk of injury from a turning
drilling tool do not use an earth auger
with incorrect idle speed adjustment.
Never operate your earth auger if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or not
completely and securely assembled.
Injury could result.
