RedMax AG2300 Drill User Manual


 
Things to be careful about when using
your power auger
When using your power auger, grip the
handles of the power auger firmly with
both hands, place your feet slightly apart
(slightly further apart than the width of
your shoulders) so that your weight is
distributed evenly across both legs, and
always be sure to maintain a steady, even
posture while working.
•Maintain the speed of the engine at the
level required to perform drilling work, and
never raise the speed of the engine above
the level necessary.
Always be sure never to allow other
persons to come within the work area
while drilling.
Be especially careful not to slip if it is
raining or if rain has just stopped, as the
ground is likely to be slippery at such
times.
If the grass or other object gets caught in
the blade during operation, always be
sure to turn off the engine before
removing the object.
Guard against hazardous situations at all
times. Warn adults to keep pets and
children away from the area. Establish a
safe method for gaining your attention
during operation. Be careful if you are
approached.
If someone calls out or otherwise
interrupts you while working, always be
sure to turn off the engine before turning
around.
Keep operation area clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets.
Never touch the spark plug or plug cord
while the engine is in operation. Doing so
may result in being subjected to an
electrical shock.
Safety Precautions
•Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or
other metallic parts of the engine while the
engine is in operation or immediately after
shutting down the engine. These metallic
parts reach high temperatures during
operation and doing so could result in
serious burns.
When you finish drilling in one location
and wish to continue work in another spot,
turn off the engine before carrying it to the
new location.
Never transport the power auger over
rough roads over long distances without
first removing all fuel from the fuel tank, as
doing so might cause fuel to leak from the
tank as a result of shocks absorbed during
transport.
