Page: 10 / 20

Overview
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death
to yourself or others, read the Safety
instructions section found on the previous
pages of this manual before operating the
machine.
Design and function
The handheld posthole borer is a powerful hydraulic
tool designed for twin-operator use for drilling holes
down to a depth of 1-1.3 m (39-51 in.), in soft
material, with standard Chicago Pneumatic augers
in sizes from ø90 to ø350 mm (3.5-13.8 in.). No
other use is permitted.
Posthole borer has reversible rotation and stops
automatically, when the lever is released.
Posthole borer has an integrated adjustable torque
limiter, which prevents the posthole borer from
rotating, if the auger hits a stone.
Never use the posthole borer as a rotation movement
supplier for other equipment.
To choose the correct insertion tool, see the spare
parts list or accessories catalogue.
