Warning! Wear safety boots and tight-tting clothes in

order to prevent injuries.

Before commissioning, it is important that you know

and follow the safety notices

• Observe national stipulations during work when

using the auger on public property or paths.

• Keep adults, children and animals away from the

hazardous area.

• Check the working environment for foreign bodies

and remove them.

• When leaving the machine, the motor must always

be turned off.

• Check the earth auger for correct functioning and

its safe operating condition.

• Do not work by yourself, someone has to be close

in case of emergencies.

• Hold on to the earth auger with both hands when

working.

• Ensure you have a safe position, during the drilling

process as well.

• Do not lean too far forwards when working.

• Check for a awless idling mode. The auger must

not rotate in idling mode when the motor is warm.

• Immediately turn off the motor when you can feel

changes to the machine‘s behaviour.

• Do not place the hot auger in dry grass or on am-

mable objects (re risk!).

• Drill the hole in the ground in several sections so

you can remove the soil in between.

• Keep the auger vertical, do not twist it!

• Always secure bore holes, otherwise there is a risk

of injury!

• Exclusively drill holes in soil with the earth auger.

• Other applications are not permitted.

Starting the motor: (Fig. 3)

• If the motor is cold, turn the choke lever (C) to

the position.

• If the motor is warm, turn the choke lever (C) to

the position.

• Prime the fuel pump (16) by pressing it several

times until you can see fuel in the pump.

• Put the stop switch (11) in the „start“ position.

• Lightly pull on the starter cord (9) until you can

feel resistance, then pull on the cord strongly 2-3

times until the motor res briey.

CAUTION!: Do not pull out the starter cable more

than approx. 50 cm, and lead it back by hand. For ef-

cient starting, it is important to pull the starter cable

quickly and powerfully.

• Turn the choke lever (C) to position.

• Pull the starter cord 2-3 times again until the mo-

tor res and runs in idle mode.

• Warning! The earth auger only begins to rotate

when the throttle lever is used.

Stop the engine

Press the stop switch (11) in the ‘Stop’ position.

When restarting, rst press the stop switch (11) back

to the ‘Start’ position.

Before starting the motor, check the following:

• Fuel level - the fuel tank should be at least half full

• Condition of the fuel lines

• Outer screw couplings for tight t

• The earth auger has to be able to run freely

Operating

• Set the auger down and actuate the throttle con-

trol lever (13).

• Adjust the power according to the ground condi-

tions in order to be able to proceed ideally.

• If the ground condition is ideal, permitting a stea-

dy work speed, using the adjusting screw, you

can lock the throttle control lever (13) (in the cen-

tre position) in order to make your work easier.

When leaving the auger, the motor must always

be turned off.

9. Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

• We recommend that you clean the device immedi-

ately each time you have nished using it.

• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth

and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents

or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of

the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into

the device.

For all work on the machine, the spark plug cap and

the spark plug have to be removed (high voltage).

Please adhere to the maintenance schedule.

oil, position of the auger and functioning of the ope-

rating elements.
