During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Keep your hands in this position to have
your earth auger under control at all

activated by the operator’s left thigh.
WARNING
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions (wet
ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown

away fallen branches, scrub and
cuttings. Be extremely cautious when
working on slopes or uneven ground.

Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
