counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM, or
immediately discontinue using the Auger and contact
a qualified service technician to make the adjustment.

8. To stop the Auger when needed, release
pressure on the Throttle. Then, slide
the Power Switch to the O position.
WARNING! Keep your thumb near the
Power Switch so the Auger can be stopped
immediately in an emergency. (See Figure F.)
9. Stand with a solid stance on stable
ground. Brace yourself and maintain a
proper grip with both hands on the Frame
whenever the Engine is running.
10. Accelerate the Engine to full throttle just before
starting to drill by squeezing the Throttle.
Keep the Engine at full throttle the entire time
you are drilling, unless a problem arises.
11. Do not drill at an angle.
Keep the Bit vertical at all times.
12. Allow the Bit to drill for you. Exert only light
downward pressure. If you attempt to force
the drill, damage to the Auger and Bit can result.
Be aware of the strong twisting forces
produced by the drill during operation.
13. Release the Throttle as soon as the drilling
is completed, allowing the Engine to idle.
NOTICE: Avoid running the Auger at
full throttle without a drilling load.
14. After running the Auger for an extended period of
time, allow the Engine to idle for several minutes to
dissipate the heat. This will prevent some Engine
parts (ignition system, piston rings, carburetor, etc.)
from being damaged by overheating.
Then press the Power Switch to turn off the Engine.
15. Clean, then store the tool in a clean, dry,
safe location out of reach of children
and other unauthorized people.
