GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING (THIS POWER TOOL)
WARNING
Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specications provided with this power
tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers
to your battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
he power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD)
protected supply.Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, gloves,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
Do not over-reach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Page 5
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust related
hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can
make aconnection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with plenty of soap and water. If
liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged
or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
EXPLOSION or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130℃ may
cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and
do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.

OPERATION
DRILLING A HOLE
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 counter-
clockwise and attempt to rotate out of the
ground. Pull up on the handles to assist the
bit in coming out of the ground. 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.
DANGER
