Safety notices for petrol-powered machines
• Internal combustion engines are a particular danger
during operation and refuelling.
• Always observe warning notices and additionally
specified safety instructions.
• Non-compliance can lead to severe and even lethal
injuries.
• When the motor is running, be aware of fumes.
These may be odourless and invisible. The motor
fumes contain toxic carbon monoxide. Being in an
environment with carbon monoxide can lead to un-
consciousness and death.
• Never operate the machine close to an open flame.
• Do not smoke during refuelling.
• Do not spill fuel during refuelling.
• Always close the tank filler cap properly after refu-
elling.
• Do not touch the exhaust when the motor is running
(risk of burning).
• Do not touch the spark plug cap when the motor is
running (electric shock).
• Leave the machine to cool down before carrying
out modifications or repairs and always remove the
spark plug cap.
• Do not use petrol or solvents for cleaning. Risk of
explosion!
Refuelling:
Note: Two-stroke motor, mixing ratio 1:40
Follow the safety precautions!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
• The engine must be switched off!
• Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to pre-
vent dirt from getting into the fuel or oil tank.
• Remove the fuel cap and carefully fill the fuel mix-
ture up to the lower edge of the filler neck.
• Be careful not to spill fuel!
• Tighten the tank cap as far as it will go.
• After refuelling, clean the tank cap and surroundings
and make sure the cap is sealed!
Note:
Always pre-mix the intended oil volume in half of the
fuel volume to produce the fuel/oil mixture and then
add the remaining fuel volume. Shake the finished mix-
ture well before filling the mixture into the auger.

It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified
to ensure safe operation. This will only result in a
higher production of combustion residues which
will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust
channel in the cylinder as well as the muffler. In ad-
dition, fuel consumption will rise and performance
will decrease.
The storage of fuel
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures
age through evaporation, especially at high tempera-
tures. Aged fuel and fuel mixtures can cause starting
problems and damage the engine.Purchase only that
amount of fuel, which will be consumed over the next
few months. At high temperatures, once fuel has been
mixed it should be used up in 6-8 weeks.
Store fuel only in proper containers, in dry, cool,
secure locations!
Avoid skin and eye contact!
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin
comes in contact with these substances repeatedly
and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate.
Various skin deseases may result. In addition, allergic
reactions are known to occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into
your eyes, immediately wash them with clear water. If
your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!
Check fuel lines, fuel tank cap and fuel tank for leak-
ages or tears.
Do not start the machine with such damage.
Do not refuel the machine when the motor is still hot
or running.
Never refuel the machine close to an open flame.
Period of use:
Using the earth auger can lead to poor circulation in the
fingers, hands or wrists. Symptoms such as pins and nee-
dles, pain, stinging and changes in the skin can occur.
If these symptoms occur, seek medical help.
Use appropriate gloves and take regular breaks.
Keep this safety information in a safe place.
