tool is in safe working condition.

∙

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

∙

Use only original spare parts. Parts not produced

by manufacturer may cause poor fit and possible injury.

∙

Store the tool in a dry room out of reach of kids and

away from any flammable material.

∙

Store all fuel tanks securely. Never store the

equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building, where

fumes can reach an open flame or sparks.

As a routine maintenance:

CAUTION! Always wear sturdy gloves

when handling the auger bit (2), as

they can be very sharp.

∙

After each use inspect the auger bit (2) carefully.

Remove earth using a small wooden stick and a plastic

brush. Check that there are no deformations, cracks, or

rust.

∙

Clean dust and dirt off the handles (3), and

thoroughly wipe traces of oil, fuel or humidity.

∙

Use a soft brush to clean the engine cooling fins and

all air vents, they must be always clean and unobstructed.

∙

If the body of the earth auger needs clean, wipe it

with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but

not like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.

∙

Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

∙

Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.

Lubricating the gearbox [F7]

EVERY 5-8 HOURS OF USE

Determine if the gearbox oil is low by removing the

screw plug (12) located on the side of the gearbox.

If lubrication grease does not seep out as the

gearbox screw plug (12) is being removed, the gearbox

should be re-lubricated.

Squeeze suitable grease into the gearbox screw

plug (12) using a special grease gun, which can be

purchased at specialized stores.

Spark plug inspection [F8]

EVERY 10 HOURS OF USE

Disconnect and remove the spark plug.

Inspect the spark plug.

Discard if the insulator is cracked or chipped.

Clean the spark plug from deposits with a brass wire

brush if it will be reused.

Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. Make

sure the plug gap is between 0,7 and 0,8 mm. Adjust if

required.

Thread the spark plug back in by hand to prevent

cross-threading and secure it with a spanner.

Air filter (9) cleaning [F9]

EVERY 4 HOURS OF USE

A dirty air filter (9) will restrict airflow to the carburetor.

Clean the air filter (9) regularly to prevent carburetor

malfunction (service more frequently in extremely dusty

areas) and excessive fuel consumption.

Remove the air filter cover.

Remove the air filter element and wash it well with

soap and water, then dry.

WARNING! Using gasoline or other

flammable solvents to clean the

air filter element can cause fire or

explosion.

ATTENTION! Never run the machine without the air

filter (9); this will cause rapid engine wear!

Pour a small amount of clean engine oil onto the air

filter element and gently squeeze out the excess of oil.

The engine will smoke if too much oil remains in the air

filter element. Never wring out the air filter element, as

it may tear!

Reinstall the air filter element and its cover, ensuring

the air filter cover seals completely.

Storage

∙

Disassemble the auger bit (2) from the machine.

∙

Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank (5) and the

carburetor.

∙

Remove the spark plug and pour approximately one

tablespoon full of clean engine oil into the spark plug

hole. With the ignition turned OFF, gently pull on the recoil

starter handle (4) several times. Re-fit the spark plug and

continue to pull the recoil starter (4) cord until the piston

is on the compression stroke (when resistance is felt)

then stop pulling.

∙

Store the tool in a dry well ventilated place under a

cover to prevent any dust or debris from accumulating

on the earth auger.
