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 or
death.

Warning!
To reduce the risk of falling, be careful
when carrying or operating the machine
in slippery conditions when the ground is
wet, icy or snow covered. Special care
must also be taken on embankments
and slopes.

Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, never touch
a rotating drilling tool or drilling spindle
with your hand or any part of your body.
It continues to rotate for a short period
after the throttle lever is released.
Always shut off the engine before putting
the machine down or transporting it over
a long distance.
When taking the drilling tool out of the
hole, lift the machine vertically so that
the tool comes out straight without
canting. Cover and clearly mark
boreholes, to prevent anyone from
stepping in a hole.
