7. Before operation
Assembly
For packaging reasons, your machine has not been
assembled completely.
Inserting the earth auger (fig. 2)
• Place the motor casing on a work bench. Place the
earth auger (7) on the drive shaft (6), ensuring that
both holes are aligned.
• Insert the locking pin (A).
Fuelling (fig. 1)
• Open the fuel tank cap (15).
• Pour in the fuel mixture using a funnel.
• Do not fill the tank completely as fuel expands.
• Close the fuel tank cap (15) tightly and clean the
area from possibly spilled fuel mixture.
Fuel mixture
The auger's motor is a two-stroke motor. It is driven
by a 1:40 fuel mixture made up of two-stroke oil and
fuel. The fuel requires unleaded ordinary petrol with
a research octane count of at least 91. Lubrication of
the motor takes place by adding premium two-stroke
oil.
Do not mix the fuel mixture in the fuel tank. Use the
mixing container supplied or another appropriate
container. Only pour the fuel mixture into the fuel tank
after previously mixing and stirring it well.
• Use fresh, clean fuel. Water and contaminants in
the petrol damage the fuel system.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the motor not
running. If the motor was in use directly prior to re-
fuelling, leave it to cool down first. Never refuel the
machine in a building where the petrol fumes can
reach flames or sparks.
• Petrol is highly flammable and explosive. When
handling fuel, you may suffer burns or other severe
injuries.
• Turn off the motor and keep away from heat, sparks
and flames.
• Only ever refuel outside.
• Wipe up spilled petrol straight away.
Starter cord (fig. 1)
Pulling the cord (9) starts the motor.
Choke lever (fig. 3)
The choke lever (C) closes and opens the choke in
the carburettor. In the
position, the air-petrol-mix-
ture is enriched for the motor's cold start. The
sition is used for the operation of the motor and for a
warm start.

Idle setting screw (fig. 3)
Using screw (5), the auger's idling mixture can be
adjusted. If the idling mixture is a little too high (the
boring head turn by itself in idle mode), the idling mix-
ture can be reduced by slowly turning the screw an-
ti-clockwise.
Warning! Other work on the carburettor must be car-
ried out by a specialist.
8. Operation
Before commissioning, it is important that you know
and follow the safety notices.
For all work on the earth auger, you must turn off the
motor, disconnect the spark plug connector and wear
safety gloves. Start the auger only after complete as-
sembly and checking it.
WARNING! Carefully read the safety notices (see
„Safety notices" and additional notices for petrol-pow-
ered machines).
Warning! Wear safety boots and tight-fitting clothes in
order to prevent injuries.
Before commissioning, it is important that you know
and follow the safety notices
• Observe national stipulations during work when us-
ing the auger on public property or paths.
• Keep adults, children and animals away from the
hazardous area.
• Check the working environment for foreign bodies
and remove them.
• When leaving the machine, the motor must always
be turned off.
• Check the earth auger for correct functioning and
its safe operating condition.
• Do not work by yourself, someone has to be close
in case of emergencies.
• Hold on to the earth auger with both hands when
working.
• Ensure you have a safe position, during the drilling
process as well.
• Do not lean too far forwards when working.
• Check for a flawless idling mode. The auger must
not rotate in idling mode when the motor is warm.
• Immediately turn off the motor when you can feel
changes to the machine's behaviour.
• Do not place the hot auger in dry grass or on flam-
mable objects (fire risk!).
• Drill the hole in the ground in several sections so
you can remove the soil in between.
• Keep the auger vertical, do not twist it!
• Always secure bore holes, otherwise there is a risk
po-
of injury!
• Exclusively drill holes in soil with the earth auger.
• Other applications are not permitted.
