sure to wear strong, durable, work
clothing; shirts should be long-sleeved
shirts and pants should be full-length
pants reaching down to the ankles.

• Always be sure to wear and helmet and

face protector when using your power
auger.

• When using your power auger, always be

sure to wear thick work gloves to protect
your hands and non-slip-sole work boots

when barefoot.

• When using your power auger for an

extended period of time, you should wear
ear protectors to protect yourself from loss
of hearing from overexposure to high
levels of sound.

Warnings considering handling of fuel

• The engine of the power auger is

designed to run on a mixed fuel which
contains highly flammable gasoline. This
fuel is highly flammable and you should
never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of
the power auger in any place where there
is a boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical
sparks, welding sparks, or any other
source of heat or fire which might ignite
the fuel.

• Smoking while operating the power auger

or refilling its fuel tank is extremely
dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the power auger at
all times.

• When refilling the tank always turn off the

engine first and take a careful look around
to make sure that there are no sparks or
open flames anywhere nearby before
refueling.

• If any fuel spillage occurs during refueling,

always be sure to use a dry rag to wipe
any fuel which has been spilled onto the
power auger before turning the engine
back on again.

• After refueling, screw the fuel cap back

tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry
the power auger to a spot 10 feet or more
away from where it was refueled before
turning on the engine.
