If the auger bit hits a stone, hard ground etc., the
rotation may stop immediately and give a hard
torque reaction.
It is therefore 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 re-
commencing work.
Stopping the engine (Pic.7)
Push the STOP/RUN switch to the STOP

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.
Spark plug (Pic.8)
After every 10 hours use
After every 10 hours of running the spark plug
should be removed. Check the color of the
deposits on the end of the spark plug; it should
be a “Tan" color. Remove all deposits using a
stiff brush a brass wire brush is ideal. Check the
Spark plug gap and adjust if required.
The correct gap should be 0.7 to 0.8mm.
Air filler (Pic.9)
After every 4 hours use
After every 4 hours of running, the air filter
should be removed, examined for deterioration
and cleaned. Remove the air filter housing cover
then remove the air filter, Clean the air filter
thoroughly using a environment- friendly water
based degreasing agent, when the air filter has
dried out apply sufficient ordinary engine oil to
Coat the whole of the filter. Squeeze out any
excess oil and replace the air filter and cover.
Warning! Never run the engine without the air
filter fitted.
Lubricating the gearbox (Pic.10)
After every 5-8 hours use
It is recommended that after 5-8 hours of use the
gearbox oil should be topped up using suitable
3# Lithium Grease. With the engine in its upright
position remove the bolt on the oil filler port and
add 15ml of gear oil. Refit the oil filler port bolt.
