OPERATION TIPS
Before drilling a hole, always look to see what position
the forward/reverse switch is in.
•
Push the forward/reverse switch to "F" for forward.
The machine will rotate clockwise and drill down into
the ground. Shift your body weight above the bit to
help it drill.
•
Push the forward/reverse switch to "R" for reverse.
The machine will rotate counterclockwise and
attempt to rotate out of the ground. Pull up on the
handles when drilling into the ground, this will allow
the bit to go into the ground and out of the ground
easier. The reverse function can also be used to
help the bit unbind from a root or other obstruction.
•
When drilling a deeper hole, clear dirt/ material from
the auger bit occasionally by pulling the unit up 4
inches after drilling down every 6 inches. This will
make the auger easier to remove once the hole has
been completely drilled.
•
In thick clay or rocky soils the hole may need to
be drilled more slowly and the earth removed more
often.
•
If using in very cold conditions, the battery may
need to be warmed up for the auger to work. This
can be done by placing the battery in a warmer
area (indoors, in a coat pocket, etc.) for a couple of
minutes.
