Special safety instructions

The motor uses lubricated petrol. Never use pure

leaded petrol, diesel or other fuels.

The petrol must be a mixture of 1 part two-stroke

oil to 25 parts unleaded 95-octane petrol.

Ensure the petrol and oil are well mixed before

using.

Mix and add the fuel in a well-ventilated area.

Fuel should be stored out of the reach of children

in a clearly marked and approved container.

Remove any spilt fuel with a dry cloth after

refuelling.

Smoking and the use of naked fame when

refuelling or using the earth auger should be

avoided.

Never fill with fuel when the motor is running.

Never fill with fuel in a closed room.

Do not overfill with fuel, as this can cause a re

hazard.

Check that the fuel cap is tightly closed, as fuel

leaks can cause a re hazard.

The motor parts become very hot when in use.

Avoid touching and do not let the earth auger

come into contact with any flamable materials

(dry grass, dry leaves etc) whilst the motor is hot.

For outdoor use only. The exhaust gases contain

carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons that are

highly dangerous to humans and animals if

inhaled.

Do not use the earth auger when it is raining or

snowing.

Always use ear protectors, safety glasses, overalls

and safety footwear when using the earth auger.

Never use the earth auger if the throttle and safety

switch are not functioning correctly. Do not

obstruct or in any other way deactivate the safety

switch.

Never start the motor without the air filter in place

or if the silencer is defective.

Always follow the motor maintenance instructions

under “Cleaning and Maintenance”.

Beware that the earth auger may vibrate violently

or rebound if you hit a stone, roots or other hard

material in the ground.

Make sure that you do not accidentally drill into

electricity or telephone cables, sewage or drainage

pipes, etc.

Assembly and preparation

Assembling the motor and gearbox

Place the motor (5) on a clean, soft surface with

the clutch plate (a) facing upwards.

Screw the stud (b) into position in the hole

marked with (*) on the motor.

Position the gearbox (1) on the motor and screw

the nut on the stud.

Screw the gearbox to the motor using the other

three bolts (c), and tighten the bolts and nuts

securely and evenly.

Connecting the auger and gearbox

Slot the auger shaft over the motor shaft, ensuring

the holes in the shafts line up with one another.

Push the cotter pin (f) through the holes and

Assembling the auger and gearbox

secure it with a bendable pin (e).

Starting and stopping the motor

Cold motor start:

Set the starter switch (8) to the run position.

Push the choke (12) to the “OFF” position.

Squeeze the primer bulb 10 times to charge the

carburettor with fuel.

Grip the handle (2) and press the throttle (3) and

the safety switch (7) in.

Pull the starter handle (10) out about 10 cm until

you feel resistance.

Pull the starter handle right out using sharp tugs

until the motor starts.

Once the motor has been running for a few

seconds, push the choke to the “ON” position.

Press the throttle (12) slightly and allow the

motor to warm up at low revs slightly above

idling. Push choke handle fully in.

Warm motor start

Warm motor start procedure is the same as for

cold, except that you do not need to move the

choke.

Stopping the motor

Release the throttle and allow the motor to idle

for a couple of minutes.

Set the start button to OFF

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean by wiping down exterior parts with a damp

cloth. Ensure the ventilation slots are kept free of

dust and dirt.

Cleaning the air filter

Remove the air filter by undoing the anger screw

and removing the filter cover. Clean the filter

cover and element using compressed air and

replace. If the filter element cannot be cleaned

properly, replace it.

Cleaning the spark plug

Remove the spark plug using a spark plug spanner.

Remove any deposits using a wire brush. Check

that the spark gap is 0.6 to 0.7 mm and adjust if

necessary.

Changing the gear oil

The gear oil must be changed after every 25 hours

of operation.

The oil will ow most easily when it is warm.

Unscrew the drainage screw (g) from the gearbox

and allow the oil to run out into a suitable

container. Dispose of the used gear oil in

accordance with local rules and regulations.

Position the earth auger vertically and unscrew the

oil cover (h). Pour around 250 ml of fresh gear oil

(SAE 80-90) into the gearbox through the oil filler

nozzle until the oil reaches the bottom of the

drainage hole.
