1. Safety Precautions ■ In order to ensure proper and safe operation of your power auger • Avoid running the engine indoors. The exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide. • Read this Owner/Operator Manual carefully. Be sure you understand how to operate this unit properly before you use it. Failure to do so could result in serious injury. • Be sure to keep this manual handy so that you may refer to it later whenever any questions arise.
1. Safety Precautions ■ Work gear and clothing ■ Warnings considering handling of fuel • When using your power auger, always be sure to wear strong, durable, work clothing; shirts should be long-sleeved shirts and pants should be full-length pants reaching down to the ankles. • The engine of the power auger is designed to run on a mixed fuel which contains highly flammable gasoline.
1. Safety Precautions ■ Things to check before using your power auger ■ Things to check before starting up the engine • Before beginning work, look around carefully to get a feel for the shape of the land, and whether or not there are any obstacles which might get in the way while working, and remove any obstacles which can be cleared away before beginning work.
1. Safety Precautions ■ 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.
1. Safety Precautions ■ Notes on care and maintenance of your power auger • In order to maintain your power auger in proper working order, perform the maintenance and checking operations described in this manual at regular intervals. In the event that any parts must be replaced or any maintenance or repair work not described in this manual must be performed, please contact a representative from the store nearest RedMax authorized servicing dealer for assistance.
2. Fuel WARNING • Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m (10ft) away from the fueling point before starting the engine. • The RedMax engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use.
2. Fuel again for at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture. 5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers. 6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy identification.

Always hold the auger securely to control such motion. • Start drilling with half-throttle, and gradually increase the engine speed so that the drill may get into the ground smoothly. • When the drill has been caught in the ground and cannot be pulled out, stop the engine and rotate the auger counter-clockwise.
4. Maintenance Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control device and systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual. WARNING Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing the auger, make sure that the engine has stopped and cooled down.
