• 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

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 ad-
justed. If the idling mixture is a little too high (the boring
head turn by itself in idle mode), the idling mixture can
be reduced by slowly turning the screw anti-clockwise.
Warning! Other work on the carburettor must be car-
ried out by a specialist.
