WilTec 61197 Operation Manual page 5

Specific safety rules for the use of the petrol ground drill
Replace the auger if cracked, bent or damaged in any way. Be sure the auger and extension

shaft are properly installed and securely fastened. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are properly attached.

Do not start working until you have a clear work area. Do not work near electric cables or un-

derground utilities. It is recommended to check with local authorities before starting to drill.
If the auger turns whilst the engine is idling, stop the engine and immediately adjust the idle

settings following the instructions in this manual.
Only use the manufacturer's replacement augers on this unit. Do not use any other attach-

ments.
Never operate the machine until the safety clutch is working. The safety clutch will engage

when the engine is at idle or if a hard object is struck.
Replace the bit immediately if any cracks or other damage are present.

Maintain a firm grip on both handles during operation.

Never use the drill with the handles above the waist level. Drilling with the units handles above

the waist level restricts control and can cause serious chest injuries if a hard object is struck.
Never carry the unit with the engine running.

Carry the unit with the engine stopped and with the auger bit removed.

Never drill in a horizontal angle. This drill should only be operated with the auger at a 90°

angle to the ground.
Always keep handles dry and clean.

Before starting to drill make sure the bit is not obstructed.

Always work in a firm-footed and safe position.

Never touch the auger bit or carry out maintenance with the engine running.

Carry routine maintenance work out on all parts. For other repairs, the tool must be serviced



tank.
If the auger bit jams, stop the engine immediately.
