produces a high output torque and without
properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of
control may occur resulting in personal injury.
3. Before earth augering, make sure that there is
no buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the working area. Otherwise, the
tool may touch them, resulting an electric shock,
electrical leakage or gas leak.
4. Thoroughly inspect the area where the auger is
to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires,
bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown objects
can cause personal injury. Keep bystanders
away, especially children and pets. Wear overalls,
goggles or face mask, ear protection, helmets and
non-slip shoes to ensure safety.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure
no one is below when using the tool in high
locations.
6. Always start earth augering at low speed and
with the earth augering tip in contact with the
ground. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend
if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the
ground, resulting in personal injury.
7. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
10
the operator an electric shock.
8. Hold the tool with both hands at the intended
handles. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Hold the tool firmly. This tool produces a high
output torque and without properly bracing the
tool during operation, Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
10. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and
do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend
causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in
personal injury.
11. Do not touch the auger bit immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn
your skin.
12. If the auger bit cannot be loosened even you
remove the auger pin, use pliers to pull it out. In
such a case, pulling out the auger bit by hand may
result in injury by its sharp edge. Wear protective
gloves for safety.
13. Before drilling through the ice for ice fishing in
winter, you must first confirm the thickness of
the ice. Risk of death. Do not to operate on the
ice with damage and cracks or with a thickness
less than 200mm. Wear overalls, eyes protection,
ear protection, helmet, and non-slip shoes and
crampons for safety.
14. It is necessary to learn some escape techniques
40V 20cm Cordless Brushless
Earth Auger
for ice lake or river before drilling in the ice.
15. Prepare life-saving equipment for ice lake or river.
You must work with an experienced team, never
work alone.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. When
battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected area
with copious amounts of water and seek medical
advice.
f) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
g) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
h) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
i) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not
in use.
j) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
k) Recharge only with the charger specified by
Worx. Do not use any charger other than that
specifically provided for use with the equipment.
l) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
m) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
n) Retain the original product literature for future
reference.
o) Remove the battery from the equipment when
not in use.
p) Dispose of properly.
