•
When digging a deep hole or digging in clay soil,
do not try to dig at once. Dig the hole by lifting up
and down the tool so that the soil in the hole can
be discharged.
•
If the rotation speed of the tool slows down due to
high load operation, lift the tool up little, and move
the tool up and down to dig in small steps.
When rotating the auger bit in
reverse
A stuck auger bit can be removed simply by setting the
reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out.
When reversing, brace the tool by your body to prevent
a clockwise reaction.
