similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective
footwear that will protect your feet and
improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine
switch is off before transporting the machine
or performing any maintenance or service
on the unit. Transporting or performing
maintenance or service on a machine with its
engine switch on invites accidents.
Fuel safety
Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Take precautions when
using to reduce the chance of serious personal
injury.
When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use
an approved fuel storage container while in
a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area. Do not
smoke, or allow sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition near the area while adding
fuel or operating the unit. Never fill fuel tank
indoors.
Keep grounded conductive objects, such as
tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts
and connections to avoid sparking or arcing.
These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
before filling the fuel tank. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the
engine is running or when the engine is hot.
Do not operate the machine with known leaks
in the fuel system.
When practical, remove the machine from the
truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If
this is not possible, then refuel the machine on
a trailer with a portable container, rather than
from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any
pressure in the tank.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the firm of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more
than 12.5mm (1/2”) below the bottom of the
filler neck to provide space for expansion as
the heat of the engine and/or sun cause fuel
to expand.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps
securely and wipe up spilled fuel. Never
operate the unit without the fuel cap securely
in place.
EARTH AUGER POWERHEAD

GBAvoid creating a source of ignition for spilled
fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start
the engine but move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating
any source of ignition until fuel vapors have
dissipated. Serious personal injury can occur
when fuel is pilled on yourself or your clothes
which can ignite. Wash your skin and change
clothes immediately.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed
and approved for this purpose.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from
your vehicle before filling.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Safely away from sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition.
Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the
tank inside a building where fumes may
reach a spark, open flame, or other sources
of ignition, such as a water heater, furnace,
clothes dryer and the like. Allow the engine to
cool before storing in any enclosure.
Machine use and care
Never pick up or carry a machine while the
engine is running.
Do not force the machine. Use the correct
machine for your application. The correct
machine will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not change the engine governor settings
or over-speed the engine. The governor
controls the maximum safe operating speed
of the engine.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.
Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes
and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or
muffler. These parts get extremely hot from
operation. They remain hot for a short time
after you turn off the unit. Allow the engine
to cool before doing maintenance or making
adjustments.
After striking a foreign object, stop the
engine, remove the wire from the spark
plug, thoroughly inspect the machine for
any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the machine.
If the machine should start to make an unusual
noise or vibration, immediately shut off the
engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
check for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration
is generally warning of trouble.
Use only attachments and accessories
approved by the manufacturer. Failure to do
so can result in personal injury.
Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
machine’s operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained equipment.
Keep the engine and muffler free of grass,
leaves, excessive grease or carbon build up to
reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
Never douse or squirt the unit with water or
any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from debris. Clean after each use.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations
for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
Store idle machine out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the machine or these instructions to operate
it. Machine is dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Service
Before c leaning, repair , inspect ing, or
adjusting shut off the engine and make certain
all moving parts have stopped. Always make
sure the engine’s throttle control is in its STOP
position. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and
keep the wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Have your machine serviced by qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
machine maintained.

GB Specific Safety Rules
This is a motorized earth auger that drills
into soil. It is pedestrian controlled. It has a
petrol-fuelled internal combustion engine that
powers the auger bit. It shall not be used for
any other purpose.
Do not drill above underground utilities,
including water l ines, gas lines, electric
cables, or pipes. Contacting utility lines may
cause severe personal injury or death. Buried
utility lines may be unmarked; contact utility
companies before drilling.
Never operate machine in wet grass. Do not
operate unit in excessively rocky ground.
Check for landscape fabric before drilling.
Landscape fabric may get pulled into the
auger bit and also pull the operator into the
auger bit. Before drilling, cut a hole in the
landscape fabric sufficiently larger than the
diameter of the auger bit to prevent contact
or entanglement with the fabric.
Use the correct auger for the application.
Do not modify the auger and do not use
the auger for a purpose for which it is not
intended. Use the auger, accessories, etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type
of auger, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the auger for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
An improper or dull bit blade can cause
serious personal injury. Bit blades must be
sharp. Do not use the auger if the bit is bent,
warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any
way.
Auger blades and drilling points are very
sharp. Avoid contact with the auger blades
and drilling points while installing auger bit,
starting or transporting the unit. Carry by
handle only; not by bit.
Never operator auger with handles above
chest height, otherwise you could lose control,
resulting in serious personal injury.
Always keep the throttle trigger on your right
hand side, while the exhaust points away from
your body.
Do not lock throttle trigger on. The auger
should not rotate when the engine is idling. Do
not use if the auger turns at idle.
Use extreme caution when using this unit.
Bit thrust or kick back may occur when the
spinning blade contacts an object that it
does not immediately cut. A kick back can
be violent enough to cause the unit and/or
operator to be propelled in any direction, and
possibly lose control of the unit. Kick back can
occur without warning, if the bit snags, stalls
or binds.
Do not reach over or across auger while
operating.
A coasting bit can cause injury while it
continues to spin after the engine is stopped
or throttle trigger is released. Maintain proper
control until the bit has completely stopped
rotating. Make sure the auger bit has stopped
before setting the tool down.
Secure the engine on transport vehicles to
prevent the tool from rolling, slipping and
tilting.

Drilling Tips
Slowly squeeze throttle trigger to engage
clutch and rotate auger bit. Fully squeeze the
throttle to maintain a steady drilling speed the
entire time you are drilling, unless a problem
arises.
Do not drill at an angle. Keep the auger bit
vertical at all times.
Allow the auger bit to drill for you. Exert only
light downward pressure. Overloading the
auger during drilling may cause it to stop
turning. When this occurs, lift the auger to
reduce the drilling load on the engine, and
allow drilling debris to be augered out of the
hole. Resume drilling.
Periodically, raise the auger to help clear
drilling debris from the hole.
Release the throttle as soon as the drilling is
completed. Allow the engine to idle. Avoid
running the auger at full throttle without a
drilling load.
After running the auger for an extended
period of time, allow the engine to idle for
several minutes to dissipate the heat. This will
prevent some engine parts (ignition system,
piston rings, carburetor, etc.) from being
damaged by overheating.
Always shut off engine, and close fuel shut-off valve when transporting unit on a truck or trailer. Do not transport machine while engine is running.
