Special safety
precautions must be
observed when working
with the earth auger
because of its high torque
and the high speed of the auger in
certain applications.
It is important that you
read and understand the
instruction manual before
using your earth auger for
the first time. Keep the
manual in a safe place for
future reference. Non-observance of the
safety precautions may cause serious or
even fatal injury.
Always observe local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
If you have never used this earth auger
model before:
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your earth auger or attend a
special course of training in earth auger
operation.
Minors should never be allowed to use
an earth auger. Children, bystanders
and animals should not be allowed in the
area where an earth auger is in use.
The earth auger user is responsible for
avoiding injury to third parties or damage
to their property.
Do not lend or rent your earth auger
without the instruction manual. Be sure
that anyone using your earth auger
understands the information contained
in this manual.
To operate the earth auger you must be
in good physical condition and mental
health and not under the influence of any
substance (drugs, alcohol) which might
impair vision, dexterity or judgment.
Do not work alone –
keep within calling distance of others in
case help is needed.
The user is responsible for third parties
in the work area of the power drill.
Only use augers and attachments
supplied by STIHL or explicitly approved
for your earth auger model by STIHL.
Other augers and attachments must not
be used because of the increased risk of
accidents.
STIHL cannot accept any liability for
personal injury or damage to property
caused by using non-approved
attachments.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Wear overalls
with a cut-retardant inlay -
a STlHL safety
combination is recommended.
Do not wear loose-fitting garments,
scarves, jewelry or anything that could
restrict movement or become entangled
with the drilling spindle or the work area.
Confine long hair (e.g.
with a hair net or similar
suitable means).
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with non-slip soles.
