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
This machine is
very powerful. Hold the machine firmly
with two hands at the same time and do
not loosen your grip before the machine
stops. Operate the machine in pairs if
necessary.
