FITTING THE AUGER BITS
See
figure
6 & 7
Align the engine drive shaft into the seat on the auger bit and secure it using the appropriate
gudgeon pin and cotter pin provided.
NOTE: Your post hole digger is supplied with a 300mm extension shaft to be used for
deeper hole digging. DO NOT start digging a hole with the extension attached.
The hole should always be started with the auger bit only
fitted. Once the hole is deep enough
and the support frame is at least 300mm below waist level, you may stop the engine and attach
the extension shaft between the engine assembly and the auger bit for added comfort and
deeper hole depth. (see
figure
8)
