THINGS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN USING
YOUR PORTABLE GAS DRILL
• When using your portable gas drill, grip the handles
of the portable gas drill 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 drill
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.
