To start a warm engine
1. Put the stop switch to the start position.
2. Put the brake trigger lever in the brake position
before starting the machine.
3. Press the air purge ten times.
4. Set the choke control to the run position, then pull
the start rope until the engine starts.
To stop
• Push the stop switch to stop the engine.
To drill
•
The machine can cause serious personal injury.
Read the safety instructions carefully. Learn how
to use the machine.
•
Do not touch the tool without first stop the engine.
•
Never allow children to use the machine.
•
Ensure that no-one comes closer than 5 m while
you are working.
•
Never allow anyone else to use the machine
without first ensuring that they have read and
understood the contents of the operator's manual.
•
Always ensure you have a safe and stable
working position.
•
Always hold the machine with both hands.
•
Use your right hand to control the throttle setting.
•
Make sure that your hands and feet do not come
near the drill attachment when the engine is running.
•
Start drilling with half-throttle, and gradually
increase the engine speed so that the drill may
get into the ground smoothly.
•
Always turn off the engine when you have
finished drilling.
•
If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur
stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the
spark plug cap from the spark plug. Check that
the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.
•
Drilling into or contact with electrical cables or
wires can lead to death or serious body injury.
The machine is not electrically insulated. To
reduce the risk of electrocution, always check for
underground pipes, cables and wires before
drilling. Contact your local utility company or
locator service for information regarding cable
and pipe locations. If necessary, confirm the
actual locations by use of devices such as cable
detectors and by carefully digging trenches.
•
Striking something hard in the earth, such as
rocks or tree roots, may cause the drill to come to
a sudden stop. This can lead to a reacting motion
on the auger. And the brake lever will touch the
user's leg, then the drill will be stopped.
• Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve damage in people who have
impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling,
tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally
appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk
increases at low temperatures.
• Make sure the drill attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
• Always wear heavy gloves when replacing the drill
bits.
• Use only original spare parts for repairs.
