Safety Precautions and Working
Techniques
• A power drill is a high-torque, petrol or electrically powered tool. Some special precautions must be observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
• It is important that you understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read this installation
manual and the respective manuals for the tools recommended in this manual. Careless or improper use of any power drill
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Danger
Drilling into or contact with electrical wires may cause severe shock, burns or death. Obtain information about buried power
cables before commencing work.
Warning
Striking a hard object in the soil with a turning auger and the resulting slowing or stoppage of the auger creates reactive
forces. The transfer of reactive forces can cause the auger powerhead and handles to rotate suddenly in the opposite
direction and can result in loss of control or cause the handle to hit the operator resulting in injury. Always use auxiliary
handles supplied with the tool.
Warning
Minors should never be allowed to use a power drill. Bystanders, especially children and animals should not be allowed in
the area where a power drill is being used. Never let the power drill run unattended.
