in the left-hand handle assembly and align
the bolts holes (handle without the trigger
switch).
3. Facing the LED side of the powerhead, slide
in the right-hand handle assembly and align
the bolt holes.
4. Insert the bolts through the frame holes, with
a washer on either side of the frame. Install
and hand-tighten nuts on each bolt to keep
the handles in place.
5. Securely tighten the bolts using the Torx
wrench and spanner.
6. Connect the signal cable in the right handle
assembly to the signal cable from the
powerhead. Ensure that the pins are aligned
before connecting and securing.
7. Connect the signal cable in the right
handle assembly to the signal cable from
the powerhead. Ensure that the pins are
aligned before connecting and securing.

NOTE: The product has 3 dierent auger
speeds — 100/150/200 RPM. The multiple
speeds can be beneficial in dierent scenarios.
In rocky soil a slower speed may help in
preventing kickback issues.
NOTE: Frequently remove dirt and debris
from the hole and auger during use to improve
digging eiciency.

WARNING!
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in
accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment
of exposure
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for dierent
applications, used with dierent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may dier. These conditions may
significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned o or when it is
running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
