TIPS FOR USING THE EARTH/ICE AUGER
◾
Pressing excessively on the machine will not speed up the digging. Excessive
pressure will only serve to damage the tip of the auger bit, decrease the machine
performance, and shorten the service life of the machine.
◾
When drilling a deep hole or drilling in clay soil, do not try to dig at once. Dig the
hole by lifting the machine up and down so that the loose soil in the hole can be
discharged.
◾
If the rotation speed of the machine slows down due to high load operation, lift
the machine up little, and move the machine up and down to drill in small steps.
◾
A stuck auger bit can be removed simply by setting the auger into reverse
rotation in order to back out. When reversing, brace the machine by your body to
prevent a clockwise reaction.
◾
Before working with an ice auger bit on frozen ponds, lakes, or steams, check
with local authorities and take all necessary precautions to ensure safe ice
thickness.
◾
When taking the ice auger bit out of the hole, lift the machine vertically so that
the bit comes out straight without canting. To minimize splashing when drilling
ice holes, release the trigger switch immediately when the ice auger bit breaks
through the ice. Raise the machine slowly. Cover and clearly mark boreholes to
prevent anyone from stepping in a hole.
