remaining risks can occur that are not
obvious.
Remaining risks can be minimised by
complying with the manual as well as the
operating instructions overall.
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If
your skin comes in contact with these
substances repeatedly and for an extended
period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin
diseases may result. In addition, allergic
reactions are known to occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil
comes into your eyes, immediately wash them
with clear water. If your eyes are still irritated,
see a doctor immediately!
Remove the clogged material. Inspect for
damage and check for any loose parts for
repair or replacement.
• NEVER allow an accumulation of earth or
drilled material to build up on the earth auger
drill bit, this will prevent proper discharge from
the hole and will make the auger heavy to
handle.

DANGER!
Batteries present a risk if they become
damaged by the possible leaking of
electrolyte. This electrolyte is an acid and can
cause serious burn injuries. Care should be
taken when working on or near them. NOTE
the electrolyte may be in a liquid or gel form.
Should you come in to contact with electrolyte
you should;
• Remove all clothing contaminated with
electrolyte. If you cannot remove then saturate
them in water.
• Get medical assistance as soon as possible.
You must advise the medical staff of the type
of acid.
• Lead/acid battery = dilute sulphuric acid.
• Nickel/cadmium = potassium hydroxide
alkali electrolyte.
• Use fresh running water to wash off excess
electrolyte, continue this until medical assis-
tance arrives. Make sure that you do not was
the electrolyte to another part of your body or
face.
• If electrolyte comes in to contact with Eyes
the electrolyte needs to be immediately
washed away with large amounts of water.
Make sure that you do not wash the electro-
lyte to another part of your face or body.
• Gasses from charging batteries are highly
flammable and great care should be taken to
charge in well ventilated areas.
• There is an explosion risk if the battery
terminals are short circuited, when
connecting/disconnecting ALWAYS exercise
great care so that the terminals or battery
leads are NOT allowed to touch and cause a
spark. ALWAYS use suitable insulated tools.
• Prolonged use of hand held (operated)
machines will cause the user to feel the effects
of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead
to white finger (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition
reduces the ability of the hand to feel and
regulate temperature, causing numbness and
heat sensations and may cause never damage
and circulatory tissue death.
• Not all factors that lead to white finger
disease are known, but cold weather, smoking
and other diseases that affect blood vessels

When selecting PPE, make sure it’s CE marked and it suits the user in terms of size, fit etc. If
more than one item of PPE is worn at the same time, make sure they can be used together, e.g
wearing safety glasses may disturb the seal of a respirator, causing air leaks.

Preparation
STEP 4
Fuel Type : Use fresh unleaded petrol
mixed 40:1 with semi-synthetic 2-stroke
oil or aspen2 pre-mixed fuel.
Fuel Capacity : 1000ml
STEP 1
Fill the mixing bottle with the correct amount
of fresh unleaded petrol. DO NOT mix the fuel
mixture in the fuel tank. You MUST only use
fresh unleaded petrol and 2 stroke engine oil
mixture.
For the first time ONLY a mixing ratio of 25:1
should be used to lubricate all engine parts to
an optimum level. After this, the mix is 40:1.
STEP 3
Unscrew the fuel tank cap and carefully add
the fuel / 2-stroke oil mixture as in the step
above. Only pour the fuel mixture into the fuel
tank after you have mixed and stirred it.
DO NOT overfill and allow a 25mm gap at the
top of the tank. DO NOT use straight unleaded
petrol. Clean up any spills immediately. Clean
the area around the cap, to prevent dirt from
getting into the fuel or oil tank.
STEP 2
Mix the fuel/oil mixture.
Once full replace and correctly tighten the fuel
cap. Clean up any fuel spilt before starting the
engine.
CAUTION - ALL FUELS ARE FLAMMABLE
• ALWAYS fuel and defuel in a well
ventilated area outside of buildings with the
engine switched off. Allow the engine to cool
down before refueling.
• ALWAYS wear correct, suitable and fit for
purpose Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
suggested items are but not limited to safety

Method of mixing 40 parts petrol + 1 part
2-stroke oil
NOTE
• Do not add more 2-stroke oil than specified
to ensure safe operation. This will only result
in a higher production of combustion residues
which will pollute the environment and clog the
exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the
muffler. In addition, fuel consumption will rise
and performance will decrease.
