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 driving pin (A).
• Secure with split pin (B) and slightly bend it.

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 refuelling, 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-mixture is enriched for the motor's cold start. The position is used for the operation of the motor and for a warm start.

Idle setting screw (Fig. 3)

Using screw (D), 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 mixture can be reduced by slowly turning the screw anticlockwise.

Warning! Other work on the carburettor must be carried 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 assembly and checking it.

WARNING! Carefully read the safety notices (see "Safety notices" and additional notices for petrol-powered 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
