Correct handling and operation of augers
•
Do not overload the auger. Use the appropriate auger for the job. You can work
more safely and effectively using the appropriate auger within the range of its
capacity.
•
Do not use augers with defective on/off switches. An auger tool which can no
longer be switched on and off is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Turn the product off and remove the spark plug cap before carrying out
adjustments, changing tools or accessories and putting the product away. This
precautionary measure prevents unintentional starting.
•
Store augers out of the reach of children when not in use. Do not allow a person
who is unfamiliar with the product or has not read these instructions to use the
product.
•
Maintain the product with care. Ensure the moving parts function correctly and do
not stick. Check whether parts are broken or so badly damaged that the product's
functions are impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before operating the
product. Many accidents are caused by badly maintained products.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Correctly maintained cutting tools with sharp
edges are less likely to stick and are easier to use.
•
Operate augers, accessories and bits or tools according to these instructions and
according to any regulations which may apply. Consider your working environment
and the type of job you wish to do. Using augers for jobs other than those intended
can lead to dangerous situations.
•
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
