STOP/RUN
switch is in the
RUN
position (Pic.6) (6.1).
Hold down the hole borer firmly with one hand.
With the other hand grip the recoil starter cord handle
(Pic.7) and pull slowly until resistance is felt indicating
that the recoil starter is engaged. When resistance is
felt pull the cord sharply.
Continue this procedure until the engine starts. When
the engine has been successfully started and is run-
ning smoothly return the choke lever to
the
OFF
position. Press in the safety switch lever (Pic.6)
(6.2) then squeeze the throttle lever (Pic.6) (6.3),until
the desired setting is achieved.
To stop the auger bit from rotating, briefly squeeze
then release the throttle lever.
Operating the petrol auger
This product requires the use of two hands to ensure
safe operation.
Make sure that the hole boring operation does not in-
volve the risk of contact with electric cables. gas mains,
water pipes etc.
Inspect the work area before starting. Remove any
objects or debris that could be thrown, jammed or
become entangled in the auger bit.
Adopt a stable stance always keeping the hole borer in
front of your body. Grip the handles with both hands
ensuring you can safely operate the control levers.
Allow the auger bit to reach full speed before com-
mencing the boring operation.
If the auger bit hits a stone, hard ground etc., the
rotation may stop immediately and give a hard torque
reaction.
It is required that the operator has a firm grip on both
handles during operation in order to compensate for a
sudden torque reaction.
Remove any jammed debris from the auger bit and
examine for any damage before recommencing
work.
Stopping the engine (Pic.8)
Push the STOP/RUN switch to the STOP
position (Pic.8)(8.1).
Maintenance
WARNING:
Always ensure that the hole borer is
switched off and the spark plug cap is removed
before making any adjustments or maintenance
procedures.
Always wear sturdy gloves when handling auger
bits, as they can be very sharp.
Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
If the body of the hole borer needs cleaning,wipe it
with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used
but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning
agent. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
