3.2. PREPARING FOR USE
APPLIANCE LOCATION
The ambient temperature must not exceed 45°C and the
relative humidity should not exceed 85%. Only use the
device in well-ventilated areas. Do not obstruct the air outlet
of the device. Keep the device away from any hot surfaces.
The device should always be operated on a stable, fireproof
surface and out of reach of children and persons with limited
mental and/or sensory functions.
ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE
Before the first use (and also after every 10 operating hours)
check the engine oil and, if necessary, top it up to a safe
level. Pour the engine oil through the hole in the oil plug.
In order to add oil or check its level, place the machine
vertically (cold or at least a dozen or so minutes after use),
wait a while (if it was previously filled with oil), then unscrew
the oil plug and check the level at the end of the scale.
The correct level should reach at least the bottom of the
graduation at the tip of the filler plug. If there is not enough
oil, top it up so that its level is within the range on the filler
plug. If the oil is used up (evidently dark colour and / or is
less transparent) - be sure to replace it.
PLEASE NOTE: the maximum engine oil level should not
exceed the lower edge of the end of the filling hole (see
the picture below), thus not exceed the upper limit of the
graduation at the tip of the oil plug. In the event of overflow,
the excess can be sucked off through the filler opening.

3.3.2 OPERATION
After warming up the engine and turning off the choke, you
can start working. First, set the engine speed with the trigger
on the handle, depending on the desired impact force. It is
recommended to work at medium engine speed - working
at high speed while not piling is strongly not recommended.
PLEASE NOTE: when using the factory new device for the first
time, it is recommended to work at low to maximum average
speed for the first 20 hours in order to run in the engine, and
thus extend its service life.
3.3.3 TURNING THE MACHINE OFF
Stop piling, release the throttle trigger and allow the unit
to continue idle for 3-5 minutes. Then, press the stop
button lock to unlock it and move the stop button upwards
according to the arrow marked on it.
PLEASE NOTE: If the device will not be used for some time,
let it cool down completely and drain the remaining fuel
from the tank.
3.3.4 DISMANTLING THE PILING SOCKET
If you need to replace the piling/post driving socket
(adapter), it is enough to unscrew the 4 hexagonal socket
screws (use the Allen key) on the upper end of the socket
and remove the socket from the device.
3.4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
a) Before each cleaning, adjustment, replacement of
accessories and also when the device is not in use,
let it cool down completely. Wait for the rotating
elements to stop.
b)
Use only non-corrosive cleaners to clean the surface.
c)
Store the unit in a dry, cool place, free from moisture
and direct exposure to sunlight.
d)
Do not spray the device with a water jet or submerge
it in water.
e)
Do not allow water to get inside the device through
vents in the housing of the device.
f)
Clean the vents with a brush and compressed air.
g)
The device must be regularly inspected to check its
technical efficiency and spot any damage.
h)
Use a soft cloth for cleaning.
i)
Do not use sharp and/or metal objects for cleaning
(e.g. a wire brush or a metal spatula) because they
may damage the surface material of the appliance.
3.3. DEVICE USE
3.3.1 STARTING THE MACHINE
After filling the tank with fuel and making sure that there
is enough oil in the engine, before starting, press the
transparent semi-circular fuel bubble several times (next
to the choke lever) until the carburettor is filled with fuel.
If you are starting the cold engine, turn the choke “ON” by
pushing the choke lever down. If engine is warm, the choke
should be turned off – the choke lever up (“OFF”). Holding
the machine vertically with one hand, grasp the starter cord
with the other and pull it vigorously when you feel resistance
while pulling. Immediately after starting the engine, do not
release the cord, but hold it to allow it to return to the initial
position freely and smoothly. Let the running engine run idle
for about 5 minutes to bring it up to operating temperature,
and turn the choke off by pulling the lever upwards.
PLEASE NOTE: Sometimes it may take several attempts of
pulling the cord before the engine starts. In extremely cold
ambient conditions, it may take longer for the engine to
reach the operating temperature.
