Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841-1:
Measured based on the intended use
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h,D
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
Declarations of Conformity
For European countries only
The Declarations of conformity are included in Annex A
to this instruction manual.
SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless Earth Auger safety
warnings
1. Hold the tool with both hands at the intended
handles. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
2. Brace the tool properly before use. This tool
produces a high output torque and without prop-
erly bracing the tool during operation, loss of
control may occur resulting in personal injury.

3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the digging accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Digging accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
4. Never operate at higher speed than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the earth augering bit. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed
to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
5. Always start earth augering at low speed and
with the earth augering tip in contact with the
ground. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend
if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the
ground, resulting in personal injury.
6. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.
7. The outside diameter of the auger bit must be
within the drilling capacity specified in this
instruction manual. Incorrectly sized auger bit
cannot be adequately controlled.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
8.
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
Hold the tool firmly.
9.
10. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
12. Do not touch the auger bit immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
13. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
14. If the auger bit cannot be loosened even you
remove the auger pin, use pliers to pull it out.
In such a case, pulling out the auger bit by hand
may result in injury by its sharp edge.
15. If something wrong with the tool such as
abnormal sounds, stop operating immediately
and ask your local Makita Service Center for
repair.
16. Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the ground. Otherwise, the tool
may touch them, resulting an electric shock, elec-
trical leakage or gas leak.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
