Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Use
extreme caution when
handling gasoline or fuel
mix. Do not smoke or bring
any fire or flame near the
fuel.

Fuel your earth auger in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors only.
Always shut off the engine and allow it to
cool before refueling.
Gasoline vapor pressure may build up
inside the gas tank of a two cycle engine
depending on the fuel used, the weather
conditions, and the venting system of
the tank. In order to reduce the risk of
burns or other personal injury from
escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove
the gas cap on the STIHL product
carefully so as to allow any pressure
build-up in the tank to release slowly.
Never remove fuel filler cap while engine
is running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine.
Check for fuel leakage while refueling
and during operation. If fuel or oil
leakage is found, do not start or run the
engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel
has been wiped away.Take care not to
get fuel on your clothing. If this happens,
change your clothing immediately.

Unit vibrations can cause an
improperly tightened fuel
cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of fuel.
In order to reduce the risk of
fuel spillage and fire, tighten fuel cap by
hand with as much force as possible.

The earth auger should be operated by
one person.
To reduce the risk of injury from reactive
forces, the operator must have a firm
grip on the machine and a good foothold
before the throttle is opened to start the
earth auger

You should always inspect your earth
auger for proper condition and operation
before starting it. Pay special attention to
the throttle trigger, throttle trigger inter-
lock, stop switch, drilling tool and auger
brake.

To reduce the risk of injury from a
turning drilling tool or from reactive
forces, the throttle lever must move
freely and return immediately to the idle
position when it is released. Regular
maintenance is important in this respect.
Check the condition and the tightness of
the drilling tool.

Your model earth auger is equipped with
an auger brake, which is designed to
reduce the risk of injury from reactive
forces by stopping the rotation of the
auger / powerhead when the brake
activating lever is engaged. It should
also be used during starting and when
unwinding a trapped auger. See the
chapter on "Auger brake" for information
on engagement of the brake.

Never operate your earth auger if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or not
completely and securely assembled.
Injury could result.
