Drill size
The drill size depends on the size of the plug of the material to be planted.
The drill (B) is fixed in the drill chuck on the drill motor by 2 screws (A). These screws
must be tightened onto the flat side of the drill sleeve
The drill plate (C) for the drill has a drill hole with a diameter that is approximately
10 mm larger than the drill. This drill plate must be fixed to the underside of the drill
rods (D) with 2 lock nuts.
The depth of the plant hole depends on the position of the drill which is adjustable.
Adjust the depth by moving the drill (B) in the drill chuck (A).
Note:
The recommended depth of the drill point below the drill plate is 1-2 cm.
Height of the leveller
The leveller controls the amount of soil in the pot. The height is adjusted by loosening the screw (A) and then moving
the leveller (B) up or down.
Leveller up
potting soil more compact in the pot
Leveller down
potting soil looser in the pot
