Operation
• Keep a stable posture. Separate your feet to align them
with your shoulders.
• Hold the auger with both hands. Your thumbs and
fingers should grip the handles to ensure a proper hold.
Your right hand holds the control handle and presses the
safety lock(A) with the palm to activate the throttle trigger
(B).
• Keep all parts of your body away from the auger when
the engine is running.
• Place the bit at the point where you want to work and
start drilling.
Drilling
• Press the throttle to start the auger spinning.
• Firmly hold the equipment by both handles in a vertical
position on the ground without losing the vertical.
• Insert the auger into the ground to the required depth.
• Keep the auger rotating to remove it from the drilled
hole.
CAUTION
• Be alert for any kickback that may occur
if the auger encounters an obstacle.
Vibration
To reduce the risk of vibration injuries:
• Wear anti-vibration gloves to keep your hands warm.
• Keep the auger blades and drill in good condition. Dull
blades will increase cutting time and vibrations transmitted
to your hands.
• Maintain a firm grip at all times but do not constantly
grip too tightly; take frequent breaks.
• All these precautions do not eliminate the risk of
vibrations-related injuries or illnesses, such as carpal
tunnel syndrome. Therefore, all operators should pay
attention to their hands and fingers condition. If any
discomfort appears, seek for medical attention and avoid
using the equipment.
