Safety Precautions and Working
Techniques
Warning
• Do not lend or rent your power drill without the respective owner manual and this installation manual. Be sure that
anyone using your power drill understands the information contained in the relevant manuals.
Warning
• When using an electric power drill and a generator as a power source in the field, hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surface when drilling where the auger may contact buried wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator. Ensure that the cord does not get wrapped around the spinning
auger.
Warning
• Always wear certified safety protection. Wear ear and eye protection when operating power drills.
Warning
• To reduce the risk of injury, the operator should wear proper protective apparel. Clothing must be snug-fitting, but
allow complete freedom of movement. Avoid loose fitting jackets, flared or cuffed pants or anything that could be
drawn into the boring tool. Wear overalls or long pants to protect your legs. Do not wear shorts. Use gloves when
handling the power drill.
Warning
• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool. Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate
this tool without holding it with both hands. Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control when striking
hard pans or stones.
