The size, power, complexity and operating characteristics of this type of powered equipment would
dictate that each operator must receive adequate, professional instruction regarding the proper operation
of this Hole Digger before being allowed to utilize it. BEFORE attempting to utilize this Hole Digger,
read this Operator Manual, to familiarize each operator with its correct operating procedures. Avoid the
urge not to take the necessary time to read this Operator Manual before operating the Hole Digger. DO
NOT OPERATE THE HOLE DIGGER UNTIL EACH OPERATOR COMPLETELY COMPREHENDS THE
CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, THE APPLICABLE SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
DVD, APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AND THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY THE
ENGINE MANUFACTURER.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Develop a comprehensive program for the safe operation of the Hole Digger by its owner(s) and/or
operator(s). Such a program will include, but is not limited to: instructional requirements for operation,
applicable OSHA requirements, local laws and regulations, job site safety and a Hole Digger maintenance
program. Constantly examine and upgrade this program to guarantee owner(s) and/or operator(s) safety.
Determine that the Hole Digger is in its original, factory conguration and has not been modied in any
manner. Many modications can result in potentially dangerous congurations that can lead to property
damage and/or personal injury.
Minors should never be allowed to operate the Hole Digger. Bystanders, especially children and animals,
should not be allowed in the area where the Hole Digger is in use. The hole digging process can result in
ying particles being emitted at high velocity and striking the operator and/or onlookers. This can lead to
the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury. Keep all body parts, loose clothing, foreign
objects and onlookers clear of the rotating auger and/or auger extensions.
Operators must be in proper physical condition, mental health and not under the inuence of any substance
(drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Working with the Hole Digger is
strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor
BEFORE operating the Hole Digger.
Prolonged use of the Hole Digger (or other, similar machines) exposes the operator to vibrations which
may produce Whitenger Disease (Raynaud’s Phenomenon). This phenomenon reduces the hand’s
ability to feel and regulate temperature, produces numbness and burning sensations and may cause
nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis. Anti-vibration systems do not guarantee that you will
not sustain Whitenger Disease. Therefore, continuous and regular users should closely monitor the
condition of their hands and ngers. After each period of use, exercise to restore normal blood circulation.
If any of the symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
Clothing must be sturdy and snug tting, but allow complete freedom of movement. Never wear loose
tting jackets, scarves, neck ties, jewelry, ared or cuffed pants or anything that could become caught on
controls or moving parts. Wear long pants to protect your legs. Protect your hands with heavy duty, non-
slip gloves to improve your grip. Good footing is most important when operating the Hole Digger. Wear
sturdy boots with non-slip soles. Steel-toed safety shoes are highly recommended.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Flying debris, generated by the hole digging process, can cause eye injury. Eye protection is required
while operating or when near operating equipment.
Visually inspect the Hole Digger, auger(s), auger extension, and accessories for damaged or worn parts.
Inspect each auger for the proper screw bit and blade. Look for loose and/or damaged handle grip areas.
Check for loose and/or broken parts. Determine that operator controls work freely, all safety devices are
operative and information/safety decals are readable. Check to determine that the Hole Digger and all
related accessories are in good mechanical condition BEFORE utilization.
Know how the controls operate. Know how to stop the engine quickly in an emergency. ALWAYS start the
engine according to the instructions as outlined in this manual to minimize the possibility of unexpected or
uncontrolled auger rotation. Unexpected auger rotation can cause loss of machine control, and the
possibility of property damage and/or personal injury.
DO NOT operate the Hole Digger with onlookers close by. Caution all onlookers to stand clear. The hole
digging process can result in ying particles being emitted at high velocity and striking the operator and/or
onlookers, This can lead to the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury. Wear proper safety
eyewear. Keep all body parts, loose clothing and foreign objects clear of the rotating auger.
NOTE: This Post Hole Digger operates with no more than 6” bits.
Operate only when/where visibility and light are adequate for the job at hand.
Stop the engine between each hole to minimize the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury.
Normal operation is on level surfaces.
This machine is not designed for working with ice, excessively rocky ground and especially in an area
which with underground electric, gas, water, or telephone lines. This machine is not designed for use in
any position other than the auger bit is in upright.
Even with the intended use of the appliance there is always a residual risk, which can not prevented.
According to the type and construction of the appliance the following potential hazards might apply:
• Access to the rotating auger bit (cutting hazards)
• Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the auger bit. (vibrating on hands)
• Flung out of foreign materials from the working area.
• Inhalation of work place particles, emissions from the gasoline engine
• Skin contact with the fuel (gasoline / oil)
• Loss of hearing, if no required ear protection used during work.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
DO NOToperate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable 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.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
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. Unmodied 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.
