WARNING: Failure to observe safety instructions and reasonable safety practices can
cause Property Damage, Serious Bodily Injury and/or Death. BE CAREFUL!! WATCH OUT FOR
BYSTANDERS!!
DANGER: NEVER run engine inside building or enclosed area. Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly poison.
DANGER: NEVER drill holes where there is a possibility of underground power cables
or other hazards. The exact location of underground services must be determined prior to drilling.
Inadvertent severing of telephone, fiber optic or CATV transmission cable, or damage to sewer pipe is
costly; RUPTURING OF GAS OR WATER LINES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/
OR DEATH. COMING INTO CONTACT WITH BURIED POWER LINES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
BODILY INJURY, SEVERE BURNS, AND/OR ELECTROCUTION. Call local utility companies or your
local "One-Call" number at least 48 hours before digging and have underground utilities marked.

hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
