IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read this section carefully.

Use the earth auger according to the safety instructions and recommendations described here.

Everyone who uses the earth auger must read the instructions and be familiar with its use.

This symbol indicates an important safety instruction which, if not followed,

may cause personal injury. Read and follow all the instructions in this manual

before using the earth auger.

- Do not carry the earth auger from one hole to another with the engine running.

Move the machine by lifting it by the frame with the auger pointing downwards.

- Always keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on the earth

auger.

- Always wear ear defenders.

- Do not allow children to operate this earth auger. Do not allow anyone to use this earth

auger without proper instruction.

- Do not use this earth auger under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

- Keep all screws, nuts and bolts tight.

- Before repairing the machine, the engine must be off, cooled down with the spark plug

removed.

- The exhaust and the area around the exhaust can become hotter than 65°C. Avoid these

areas.

- Never start the engine indoors or in other enclosed areas. Engines give off carbon

Petrol engine

Specific safety instructions

- Petrol and diesel engines must never be used in non-ventilated or confined spaces. The exhaust

fumes are very dangerous and can cause carbon monoxide poisoning leading to drowsiness and

ultimately death.

- The engine must not exceed the specified speed.

- Running the engine at excessive speeds can lead to danger or personal injury.

- Do not tamper with the components to change the speed.

- Do not leave the machine unattended with the engine running.

- Always use the correct fuel as specified in the manual.

- To prevent fire, turn off the engine when filling up with fuel and do not overfill.

- Clean up spilt fuel immediately with sand or absorbent granules.

- Do not use the machine in or near an explosive environment.

- Check the fuel system regularly for leaks.

- Check the machine’s oil level regularly.

- Seals and hoses must be checked for cracks.

- Check the fuel tank and fuel filler cap for loose or missing fastenings. All defects must be repaired

before further use.

- Make sure the engine does not run out of fuel.

- Drain all fuel from the machine before transport.

- Store the machine in a well-ventilated environment with an empty tank.

- For specific information regarding the Honda GX35 engine, please refer to the Honda owner’s

manual.

Getting started

PLEASE NOTE! The machine may kick back when hitting hard surfaces or stones.

You must therefore hold the auger firmly with both hands.

Positioning an auger (Fig. 1)

PLEASE NOTE! Always switch off the engine when adjusting the machine, such as

changing an auger.

Remove the locking pin and place the auger on the output shaft of the machine. Make sure that the

locking pin can be inserted (Fig. 1) and replace the locking pin. Secure the locking pin.

Filling the engine with oil (Fig. 2)

PLEASE NOTE! The engine must be filled with oil before use.

Place the machine on its side with the throttle down.

Remove the dipstick from the engine, insert a funnel,

fill the sump with oil and replace the dipstick.

Please note the maximum filling level.

Fuelling (Fig.3)

The earth auger is driven by a 4-stroke engine. Only Aspen 4-stroke or euro unleaded petrol

should be used. The engine has a total tank capacity of 0.53 litres.

Figure 3 – Filling the tank with fuel

Filling the tank.

Use a suitable funnel to fill the tank without spilling any fuel.

Bear in mind that the fuel system is completely empty before first use and will have to be run in.

The engine will start once the fuel system has been filled. The machine will start more easily next

time.

Start the engine (Fig. 4 to Fig. 6)

Move the choke lever to the “ON” position.

(Fig. 4, orange arrow).

Figure 4 – Choke and carburettor

When starting from cold, press the transparent

ball 3 times to pump fuel into the carburettor.

(Fig. 4, yellow arrow).

Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the

“ON” position. (Fig. 5)

Figure 5 – ON/OFF switch

Hold the machine firmly with one hand. With

the other hand grip the pull starter. (Fig. 6)

Figure 6 – Pull starter

Pull it out slowly until you feel resistance.

Without letting it retract, pull the starter handle

quickly. Let it return to its original position

slowly. Repeat until the engine is running.

When the engine is running well switch off the

choke.

Then squeeze the throttle (Fig. 7) and the

auger will begin to rotate. The harder the

throttle is squeezed, the faster the auger

rotates.

Release the throttle to stop the auger rotating.

Figure 7 – Throttle

Using the earth auger

You should use both hands to operate this

machine.

Make sure you know what objects are in the

ground, such as pipes or cables. If necessary,

notify the Dutch Cables and Pipes Information

Centre (KLIC).

Inspect the work environment before starting.

Remove any objects or debris that are in the

way.

If the auger hits a stone or hard ground it may

stop rotating and kick back. It is therefore

important to stand firm and hold the machine

securely.

Remove sand and debris from the auger and

check for damage before drilling a new hole.

Switch off the engine (Fig. 8)

Release the throttle and push the ON/OFF

switch to the “OFF” position. (Fig. 8)
