WARNING
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconscious-
ness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is directed
away from your face and body.
1.
After starting engine, position auger upright at desired drilling
point.
2.
Position feet for a stable stance, away from auger blades.
3.
Firmly grip Throttle Handle Assembly and loop bar handle with
right and left hands.
4.
Slowly squeeze throttle trigger to engage clutch and rotate auger.
Apply light downward pressure on handles to drill hole. Periodi-
cally, raise the auger to help clear drilling debris from the hole.
5.
Overloading the auger during drilling may cause it to stop turn-
ing. When this occurs, lift the auger to reduce the drilling load on
the engine, and allow drilling debris to be augered out of the hole.
Resume drilling.
IMPORTANT
While drilling, the auger may twist suddenly and forcefully if
it contacts large rocks, roots, or other hidden obstacles. Release
throttle trigger immediately, and lift auger out of hole. Clear the
obstacles to prevent damage, and then resume drilling.
6.
Drilling holes six inches in diameter or larger may be easier if two
people hold the handles on opposite sides.
7.
Two-man Operation - The operator (A), guides the auger while
gripping the Throttle Handle Assembly and lower hand grip. The
helper (B), assists by guiding auger while gripping loop handle on
opposite side of auger.
8.
Do not place excessive body weight on the unit. Allow auger to
drill with a shaving action using light downward pressure.
9.
Do not use an ice auger in earth, or an earth auger in ice. A differ-
ent style of auger is required for each type of drilling.
10. Do not operate unit in excessively rocky ground.
WARNING
Never operate auger with handles above chest height, otherwise you could lose control, resulting in serious personal
injury.
WARNING
During operation, the muffler or catalytic muffler and surrounding cover become hot. Always keep exhaust area clear
of flammable debris during use, otherwise serious property damage or personal injury may result.
