Preparation for Working

23
Proper Grip on Handles.
1. Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
WARNING: Hold the earth auger firmly with both hands.
Always keep your LEFT HAND on the left handlebar
and your RIGHT HAND on the throttle handle as shown
in Fig.23. Never use a cross-handed grip. Left-handers
should follow these instructions too.

2. Maintain a proper grip (B, Fig.24) on the earth auger whenever
the engine is running. The fingers should encircle the bar and
the thumb is wrapped under the bar.
Working Conditions
Striking something hard in the earth, such as a rock or gravel,
may cause the drilling tool to slow down suddenly or stop. In
such a situation, some or all of the rotational force (reactive force)
is transferred to the powerhead and handle frame of the earth
auger which can cause the auger powerhead and handles to
rotate suddenly in a counterclockwise direction.
WARNING – Work carefully in rock ground or where
other solid objects may be present. Keep throttle
feed pressure to a minimum. If you feel or hear the
drilling tool strike a solid object, release the throttle
trigger immediately and remove the object before
drilling is continued. When drilling in heavy clay soil,
bore about 1/3 way and remove the auger from the
hole. Clean off auger then continue in slow steps
frequently clearing drill.
