Before Starting
Unfold the handle frame and make sure
it is properly locked in the working
position – see "Assembling the
Machine", "Mounting the Handle
Frame".
Check that the machine is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual:
– Smooth action of throttle lever –
throttle lever must move freely to
idle position.
– Stop switch must move easily to
STOP or $
– Check that spark plug boot is secure
– a loose boot may cause arcing
that could ignite combustible fumes
and cause a fire.
– Never attempt to modify any of the
controls or safety devices.
– Handles securely mounted, dry and
clean – free from oil and dirt – for
safe control of the machine.
To reduce risk of accidents and personal
injury, do not operate your machine if it is
damaged or not properly assembled.
Starting the engine –
Start the engine at least 3 meters (10
feet) from the fueling spot, outdoors
only.
Do not start the engine with the auger in
the spindle. The machine must be
operated by 2 persons and may be
started only when it is held steady by the
operating crew.
Do not allow other persons in the work
area – even when starting.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section in the instruction
manual.
Note that the drilling spindle continues to
rotate for a short period after your let go
of the throttle lever (flywheel effect).
To reduce the risk of injury, never use
drilling tools or augers that are longer
than 1 meter.
To reduce risk of fire, keep hot exhaust
gases and hot muffler away from easily
combustible materials (e.g. wood chips,
bark, dry grass, fuel).
Contact with electrical
cables or wires can cause
serious injury or death as
a result of electrical
shock. Before drilling,
obtain the necessary plans and permits
and examine the work area.
Contact your local utility company for
information as to cable and pipe
locations.
Where necessary, confirm actual
location by use of devices such as cable
detectors and/or by carefully dug
trenches.
