Setting up
Post Holders and Sizing Rings
The pre-fi tted post holder (part no.
075/02) on the machine can be used
without further attachments for 4"
diameter posts.
For smaller posts the reducing adaptor is
screwed onto the end of the post holder,
followed by a plastic sizing ring screwed
on to the adaptor. You should choose
the ring with the closest diameter to the
post being driven.
The rings can easily changed by screwing
them off/on at the threaded end of the
adaptor.
Important!
Care should always be taken to avoid
damage to the threads of the post holder
adaptor and sizing rings.
Optional Square Post Holder
An additional post holder (part no.
075/01) can be purchased which can be
fi tted to the machine as an alternative
to the standard post holder. This can be
used for square and rectangular posts of
4" square, 4x3" and 3" square sizes.
Changing the Post Holder
Using an allen key undo the 4 retaining
bolts securing the 'Post Holder' to the
machine, fi rmly slide the old holder off
and push the new holder onto the end.
Secure the new holder in place with the
4 retaining bolts and tighten fi rmly to
make sure they do not loosen while the
machine is in use.
