35. This product contains or, when used, produces a
chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
36. When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be
cleaned up immediately. Dispose of fluids and
cleaning materials as per any local, state, or
federal codes and regulations. Store oil rags in
a bottom-ventilated, covered, metal container.
37. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
Do not reach over or across Auger while operating.
38. Before use, check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect
the Auger’s operation. If damaged, have the
Auger serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained Augers.
39. Use the correct Auger for the application.
Do not modify the Auger and do not use the
Auger for a purpose for which it is not intended.
Vibration Hazard
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or
worsened from use. Pregnant women or people
who have impaired blood circulation to the hand,
past hand injuries, nervous system disorders,
diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this
tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration
(such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue
fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
Service Precautions
1. Before service, maintenance, or cleaning:
a. Turn the Engine switch to its “OFF” position.
b. Allow the Engine to completely cool.
c. Then, remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug.
2. Keep all safety guards in place and in
proper working order. Safety guards include
muffler, air cleaner, mechanical guards,
and heat shields, among other guards.
3. Do not alter or adjust any part of the Auger or
its Engine that is sealed by the manufacturer
or distributor. Only a qualified service
technician may adjust parts that may increase
or decrease governed Engine speed.
4. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
heavy-duty work gloves, and dust
mask/respirator during service.
5. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Auger.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6. Have the Auger serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the Auger
is maintained. Do not attempt any service or
maintenance procedures not explained in this
manual or any procedures that you are uncertain
about your ability to perform safely or correctly.
7. Store Auger out of the reach of children.
8. Follow scheduled Engine and Auger maintenance.
Refueling:
1. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames,
or other sources of ignition around the Auger,
especially when refuelling.
2. Do not refill the fuel tank while the
Engine is running or hot.
3. Do not fill fuel tank to the top.
Leave a little room for the fuel to expand as needed.
4. Refuel in a well-ventilated area only.
5. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess
to evaporate before starting Engine.
To prevent FIRE, do not start the Engine
while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.
