Before Operation

Oil and Fuel

1. Mix and pour fuel outdoors and where there are no sparks or flames.
2. Always shut off the engine before refueling. Never remove the Earth Auger fuel tank cap while the engine
is running or immediately after stopping the engine.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
・ Petrol contains gasses that can build up pressure inside a fuel tank.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
・ Fuel can be sprayed on you when removing fuel tank cap.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
・ Remove fuel tank cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray.
3. Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release any possible pressure inside the tank.
4. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 10mm from the top of the tank.
5. Tighten the fuel tank cap carefully but firmly after refilling.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
7. Move the Earth Auger at least 3m away from the fueling location and fuel storage container before start-
ing the engine.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
・ In certain conditions petrol is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
・ A fire or explosion from petrol can burn you, others and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
・ Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up
any petrol that spills.
・ Do not fill the fuel tank completely. Add petrol to the fuel tank until the level is 10mm below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows petrol to expand.
・ Never smoke when handling petrol, and stay away from an open flame with petrol in an ap-
proved container and keep it out of the reach of children.
・ Do not mix fuel for more than two month use.
