Equipment Safety

Post hole diggers are high-speed, fast-cutting equipment with exposed blades that can cause serious injury if not used correctly or without taking proper safety precautions. It is extremely important that you read and fully understand the information in this section and all other safety warnings / recommendations and usage instructions before using the equipment.

Operator

• If you are untrained in the use of a hole digger, it is highly recommended that you be trained/instructed by a suitably qualified or experienced post hole digger user before using the machine.
• Fully understand how to safely operate the machine and the digging process. See Post Hole Digger Operation.
• You must be in good physical condition to use a digger. NEVER operate the machine when tired, or under the influence of any substance (medication, alcohol, drugs etc) that may impair your judgement, alertness, physical strength, vision, or dexterity.
• Maintain sure-footing and balance always when using or handling the digger and have full awareness of your surroundings and any possible hazards.
• Prolonged digger use may lead to health complications, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, due to vibration. To help reduce the possibility of such conditions, wear gloves, take breaks frequently, keep fingers and hands warm, and maintain the equipment for optimal operation and minimal vibration. It is recommended to seek medical advice if you feel numbness or burning sensations in fingers/hands.

Clothing and Protective Equipment – All Operators and Assistants

• Wear suitable hearing protection.
• Wear heavy-duty, non-slip leather or protective gloves.
• Wear approved heavy-duty safety boots, with steel toecaps and non-slip soles.
• Wear suitable overalls or work clothing that fits snugly but does not restrict movement. Avoid loose fitting clothing, scarves, jewellery etc and keep long hair contained to avoid getting caught or pulled by the chainsaw or by tree branches etc.

Work Area Safety

- Use EXTREME CAUTION to avoid power cables – contact can be fatal. Also be aware of plumbing, water and gas pipes etc. If in any doubt, do NOT dig – contact the appropriate organisation or authority for information before digging.

- Be aware of fire risks resulting from machine use. Ensure that the machine exhaust and spark arrestor (if equipped) is well maintained, and that engine is tuned correctly.

• Refuel outdoors only. Avoid fuel spillage. Start the machine at least 3m (10') away from the fuelling location

Operational Safety

• Do NOT use the machine if the throttle or any safety guard or mechanism is not installed or is not operating correctly – have the machine inspected and repaired at an authorised service centre before using it again.
  • Always hold the machine firmly with both hands during operation. Always use the machine handles.

• Do NOT use any auger attachment that is cracked or damaged in any way – replace it.

• Ensure the auger is not obstructed before digging.

• Ensure that all auger attachments are fully secured before digging.
  • If the auger jams, release the throttle trigger and stop the engine immediately.
• Do NOT use the equipment for purposes it is not designed for, such as cutting concrete.
• Do not attach the machine to fixed supports.

Transportation Safety

• Always STOP the engine before putting the machine down, transporting or working on it (refuelling, adjusting etc).
• When transporting the machine in a vehicle, ensure the engine is OFF, the auger is disconnected, and the machine is secured in an upright position to prevent tip-over, machine damage or fuel spills.

Before Use

Ensure that you carry out all procedures below before starting the engine or operating the equipment. All procedures described are generic in nature and slight variations between different models may exist. Failure to follow the checklist and carry out the procedures correctly may result in making the product warranty void.

IMPORTANT! BEFORE EVERY USE:

1. Before attaching the auger drill bit, start & test the engine to ensure the throttle is embled correctly, working properly and that no parts are loose/missing. Also ensure the engine t-off is working correctly.

2. Shut off the engine.

3. DO NOT USE the item if there is any physical or functional problem. Arrange service or replacement.
4. Once you have confirmed there are no physical or functional problems you may attach the auger drill bit and start the job.

If you lose control of the engine while in use, simply remove all humans and animals from the area and wait for it to stop.

Assembly

Fitting the Auger Bits

Fit the output shaft A (Fig.1) into the seat on the bit (C) and secure it using the Hexagon socket head cap screws (B).

WARNING - Do not change the ratio of the reduction gearbox. The characteristics of the machine could change, and unforeseen reactions could occur.

Air Filter

The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the engine and causing internal damage to it. The air filter requires regular maintenance. Always check the air filter before starting the engine.

Fuel

Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition sources. • The engine must be cool before refuelling. • Always pre-mix the fuel before

placing it in the fuel tank. • The fuel to 2-stroke engine oil mixture ratio is 25:1.

Adequately fill the fuel tank with the correct fuel type.

- Use non-ethanol unleaded petrol mixed at a 25:1 ratio with 2-stroke engine oil (higher RON values and good quality 2-stroke oil will provide best engine performance). Do not use old or contaminated fuel/oil. Fuel/oil mix ratio examples are shown below.

Petrol (Litre)	1	2	5	10		Gas (US Gal)	0.5	1	2	3
Oil (Millilitre)	40	80	200	400		Oil (Fl. Oz)	2.56	5.12	10.24	15.36

1. Place the machine in a vertical position on a flat and level surface with the fuel filler cap facing up.
2. Clean the machine around the fuel filler so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when the cap is removed.
3. Remove (rotate left) the fuel filler cap.
4. Using a funnel, carefully fill the tank with fuel. Do not fill above the top of the strainer (if equipped) or otherwise overfill the tank.
5. When finished, reinstall (rotate right) the fuel filler cap until firm. Wipe away any residual fuel from the machine. If fuel has been spilt, move the machine away from the spillage before starting the engine.

Priming the Fuel System

When an engine is new or has been completely run out of fuel it may be necessary to "prime" the fuel system before attempting to start the engine. This means removing any air from the fuel line. To prime:

1. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with fuel.
2. Press the fuel primer bulb repeatedly until you feel resistance or pressure in the bulb – this indicates that it is full of fuel. Fuel may also be visible in the fuel intake tube.

Working Rules

WARNING – Always follow the safety rules. Do not lock the post hole digger onto fixed supports. It is forbidden to apply tools or applications other than the ones indicated by the manufacturer onto the PTO of the post hole digger.

Operation

Before use, ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas, or water pipes etc or other buried or unseen hazards in the work area. Contact the applicable utility providers for assistance. • The machine should be operated on ground that is suitable for digging. Do not attempt to dig into set concrete, rock, tree roots, or other extremely hard surfaces. • Do not use the machine without an auger and bit attached. • Augers and auger tips are consumable parts and are not covered under warranty.

Before starting the engine, ensure that you have followed all procedures described in the Before Use Checklist. Failure to follow the checklist and carry out the procedures correctly may result in making the product warranty void. • Once the engine is running at sufficient speed, the clutch will engage and begin rotating the cutting attachment. • Do NOT start the engine with the machine cutting attachment touching any object. • If the engine is new or is being re-started after completely running out of fuel, it may be necessary to pull the starter cord several times for fuel to reach the carburettor.

Fuel Mixture

1. Use a 4% (25:1) oil/gasoline mixture. Please use fuel of 25:1 (gasoline: oil) in the 20 hours before the machine runs.

WARNING! 2-stroke engines have high specific horsepower, and we therefore recommend the use of well-known, regular or super gasoline, with or without lead and an octane rating of no less than 90.

1. When preparing the mixture, only use oil for two stroke engines. Shake the fuel container before filling (Fig.5).
2. Refill when the engine is switched off and far away from naked flames.
3. Before unscrewing the fuel tank cap, position the post hole digger on a flat, solid surface to prevent fuel spills.

WARNING! Gasoline is very flammable. Select outdoor bare ground for fuelling. Never add or replace fuel when the engine is in operation or before the engine stops. Do not leave the mixture in the fuel tank or in a fuel canister for a long period of time. Do not start the engine if fuel leakage is found. Run the engine until the leak is fixed.

Starting the Engine

1. Put switch G (Fig. 8) in the "START" position.
2. Press safety lever J and throttle lever K, lock it by pressing button H.
3. Release lever J and K.
4. Put the choke lever (F, Fig. 7) in position "CLOSE".
5. Push the primer bulb (E, Fig. 6) a few times until the fuel comes out of the fuel tube.

1. Pull the starter rope a few times until the engine starts.
2. Put the choke lever (F, Fig.10) back to the original position "OPEN".

Once the engine is running, press the throttle lever (K, Fig. 8) to release button H (Fig. 8), and let the engine idle.

NOTE: Do not use the choke (F, Fig.7) when starting a hot engine. When the engine is idling, the bit should not turn.

WARNING! If the bit jams, stop the engine immediately.

NOTE: When pulling the starting rope:

a) Do not let the starter grip snap back
b) Do not pull the starter rope out all the way as it might break (Fig. 9).
c) Guide it slowly back into the housing so that the starter rope can rewind properly.

Stopping the Engine

1. Bring the throttle to the idle position (K, Fig. 8) and run it for 2\~3minutes at a low speed until the engine cools.
2. Switch off the engine by putting the stop switch (G, Fig. 8) in the "STOP" position.
3. Remove the bit, clean the machine.

IMPORTANT! Avoid stopping the engine suddenly when it runs in high speed. Doing so could cause damage to the machine.

Environmental Considerations

Altitude – If the engine is being used in altitudes at or above 1500m (approximately 5000'), adjustments to the carburettor may be required. This is because there is less oxygen in the air as altitude increases, which effectively "enriches" the ratio of fuel to air going into the engine and the higher the altitude, the richer the fuel mixture becomes. If the engine is being permanently operated at high altitude, it is recommended to have an authorized service centre make the necessary carburettor adjustments. If the engine is used occasionally at altitude (not extreme altitudes), no adjustments should be required, however, a slight decrease in engine performance can be expected.

Post Hole Digger Operation

Before use, ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas, or water pipes etc. or other buried or unseen hazards in the work area. Contact the applicable utility providers for assistance. • The machine should be operated on ground that is suitable for digging. Do not attempt to dig into set concrete, rock, tree roots, or other extremely hard surfaces. • Do not use the machine without an auger and bit attached. • Augers and auger tips are consumable parts and are not covered under warranty.

The machine is used for "drilling" holes in the ground. For example, to erect fencing etc. The machine is designed for manual operation, where the operator both holds and controls it. Note the following:

- Adjust the throttle, which controls the drilling action, only when ready to begin digging the hole.

- Hold the machine as straight as possible when in use to ensure that holes are dug vertically.

- Always check the auger flutes, cutters, and bit before digging each hole. Sharpen or replace any worn or damaged components. Do not use if damaged in any way. Below is an example of the type of condition in which an auger is not to be used:

To dig a hole:

1. Start the machine and allow it to warm up.
2. Position the machine in the required location, with the auger bit against the ground.
3. Holding the machine firmly with both hands (or having an assistant help), use the throttle to activate the drilling action and dig the hole – once the auger starts to cut there is no need to push down on the machine. Adjust the throttle for the desired drilling rate.
4. Release the throttle – this disengages the drilling action.
5. Lift the machine and auger carefully from the hole.

Maintenance

Running combustion engines in confined areas CAN KILL IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you cannot smell or see. NEVER run a combustion engine in confined areas EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run combustion engines OUTDOORS and away from doors, windows, and vents. • Petrol / fuel / gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition sources. •

Do not have the engine running during inspection and maintenance unless specifically required. • The engine should be cool enough to touch before performing maintenance activities. • Some maintenance activities may be beyond the scope of some users. Do NOT attempt procedures that you are not comfortable with, or do not have the necessary tools, experience, or knowledge for – take the unit to an authorised service centre or qualified technician for servicing. • Harsh operating environments such as extreme temperatures, dust etc may necessitate more frequent maintenance. • Failure to follow the maintenance schedule, using incorrect or non-compatible accessories or replacements parts, or general negligence may result in making the product warranty void.

ATTENTION: Surface corrosion will occur on metal surfaces over time and the rate of oxidation depends on factors such as proximity to the ocean and humidity or condensation of water vapour on metal surfaces. To mitigate this, WD40 can be used to remove surface corrosion then, when applied periodically, it will prevent rust from forming.

To keep the machine performing at optimal efficiency, regular checks and maintenance is required. The maintenance schedule below specifies preventative maintenance checks and necessary maintenance tasks and how often they should be performed. The schedule applies to multiple engines; some engines may not include some components, so maintenance on those components is not applicable.

Maintenance Schedule

Use the following maintenance schedule for a list of regular maintenance tasks and how often they need to be performed. Maintenance frequency is based on average usage. Be aware of how much the machine is used and be sure to follow the schedule according to time or usage, whichever comes first.

Towards the end of this document is a form you can use for maintenance record keeping. It is recommended that you keep a reference of all maintenance.

Major Servicing and "Heavy-Duty" Usage - For engines that are subject to "heavy-duty" use, which can be defined as being used under loads of 85% or more and / or in use more than approximately 300 hours per year (for example, generators and water pumps), more frequent "Major Service" maintenance is required. In addition to normal service requirements, and as with many smaller machine and off-road bike engines, the following parts (as applicable for petrol, diesel, or 2-stroke engines) may require replacement during a major service:

• Piston rings.
  • Big-end bearings.
• Small-end bearings.
  • Gudgeon pin.
• Oil rings.
  • Gaskets and seals.
• Valve seats.

Inspection of the following items is required:

• Piston for cracks and stress fractures.
  • Bore for wear requiring reconditioning.
  • Full machine for broken, worn, or loose parts.

Failure to follow the maintenance schedule, using incorrect or non-compatible accessories or replacements parts, or general negligence may result in making the product warranty void.

Maintenance /Check / Overhaul

It is recommended to regular check and maintenance based on frequency of use, keeping the tool in a better condition, and extending its useful life, ultimately reducing overall operating costs.

This specification will also protect you from serious harm.

Daily check

• Check whether all nuts and screws are tight or not.
• Check the fuel level. When filling new fuel, please wipe off the spill and clean the fuel tank.
• Check whether the belt of the transmission wheel is loose or aged and cracked or not.

Weekly Maintenance

• Check the starter, especially the wires and the springs.
• Check the outside of the sparking plug.
• Remove the sparking plug and check the electrode spacing. Adjust to 0.6MM or replace the sparking plug.
• Check the heat sink on the cylinder and check whether the air inlet of the starter is blocked or not.
• Check the air filter.

Monthly Maintenance

• Flush the fuel tank with gasoline.
• Clean the outside of the carburettor and its surroundings.
  • Clean the fan and its surroundings.

Air Filter

Every 25 hours, remove the cover (M, Fig. 11) and the filter (N, Fig. 11). The filter should be washed with petrol and dried before refitting it.

Carburettor

• Screw Q (Fig. 12) must be adjusted so that the engine promptly responds to sharp accelerations and gives good idle operation and gives maximum power during the cutting phase.
• Idle screw P (Fig. 12) is adjusted to ensure a good safety margin between idle turning and clutch engagement.

IMPORTANT! Weather conditions and altitude may affect carburation.

Fuel Filter

Check the fuel filter (R, Fig. 13) periodically. Replace it if too dirty. A dirty filter can cause difficult starting and lower engine performance.

Engine

Clean the cylinder fins with compressed air or a brush periodically. Dangerous overheating of engine may occur due to impurities on the cylinder.

Spark Plug

1. Remove the spark plug cover, unscrew the spark plug.
2. Clean the spark plug if carbon deposit is found.
3. Polish the electrode with abrasive paper and adjust the electrode gap to 0.6-0.7mm (Fig.14).

Bit

1. Always check the drill bit. Sharpen or replace it if necessary. Removable impact bit (T, Fig. 15) and non-removable blade (U, Fig. 15). Contact the manufacturer for replacements.

1. Check and repair the blade (W, X, Fig. 16) regularly. Contact the manufacturer for replacements.

Gearbox

Every 100 working hours, change the grease in the gearbox (Fig.17).

Storage

1. Follow all the maintenance procedures described previously.
2. If storing for a long period of time, clean the post hole digger completely and grease the metallic part.
3. Remove, clean and oil the bit to prevent rusting.
4. Empty the fuel tank and put the cap back on.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour a small amount of oil into the cylinder (Fig.18).
6. Pull the starting rope several times, rotate the crankshaft to distribute the oil. Put the spark plug back in.
7. Wrap the engine in a plastic sheet.
8. Stroke the post hole digger in a dry place, preferably off the ground and away from heat sources.
