Safety Precautions
•Avoid running the engine indoors. The
exhaust gases contain harmful carbon
monoxide.
•Never use your portable gas drill under
circumstances like those described below:
1. When the ground is slippery or when
other conditions exist which might
make it not possible to maintain a
steady posture while using the portable
gas drill.
2. At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any
other times when your field of vision
might be limited and it would be difficult
to gain a clear view of the area where
the portable gas drill is to be used to
ensure safety.
3. During rain storms, during lightning
storms, at times of strong or gale-force
winds, or at any other times when
weather conditions might make it
unsafe to use this product.
•When using this product for the first time,
before beginning actual work, take the
portable gas drill to a wide, clear, open
space, turn on the power, and practice
handling the portable gas drill until you are
sure that you will be able to handle in it
properly in actual operation.
•Lack of sleep, tiredness, or physical
exhaustion results in lower attention
spans, and this in turn leads to accidents
and injury. When planning your work
schedule, allow plenty of time to perform
the work of cutting and allow plenty of
time for rest. Limit the amount of time
over which the portable gas drill is to be
used continuously to somewhere around
30~40 minutes per session, and take
10~20 minutes of rest between work
sessions. Also try to keep the total amount
of work performed in a single day under 2
hours or less.

there is a boiler, stove, wood fire,
electrical sparks, welding sparks, or any

•Smoking while operating the portable gas
drill or refilling its fuel tank is extremely
dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the portable gas drill

•When refilling the tank always turn off the

open flames anywhere nearby before

•If any fuel spillage occurs during refueling,
always be sure to use a dry rag to wipe
any fuel which has been spilled onto the
portable gas drill before turning the engine
