is in your way or in any other person's way.
WARNING Dust and fume hazard
Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and
permanent respiratory disease, illness, or other
bodily injury (for example, silicosis or other
irreversible lung disease that can be fatal, cancer,
birth defects, and/or skin inflammation).
Some dusts and fumes created by drilling,
breaking, hammering, sawing, grinding and other
construction activities contain substances known to
the State of California and other authorities to
cause respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of such
substances are:
•Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry
products.
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
•Lead from lead-based paints.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to
determine if there is dust or fumes in the air.

Overview
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to
yourself or others, read the Safety instructions
section found on the previous pages of this
manual before operating the machine.
Design and function
The mounted posthole borer is a robust and
flexible hydraulic attachment suitable for all jobs in
connection with setting up of poles, piles, fences
etc. and where there is a need of drilling holes
down to a maximum depth of 1.5 m (59 in.) with
standard Epiroc insertion tools in sizes from ø90 to
ø350 mm (3.54 - 13.78 in.). The posthole borer is
to be mounted on the shovel or on the arm of a
small skid-steer, excavator or tractor weighing
800-3,500 kg (1,800 - 7,700 lbs) . No other use is
permitted.
The post hole borer has a clockwise rotation when
it is correctly connected to the carrier's hydraulic
system. The pressure provided by the carriers
hydraulic system must be at maximum 160 bar.
Never use the posthole borer as a rotation
movement supplier for other equipments. The
mounted posthole borer or the inserted tool must
never be used as a lifting device.
To choose the correct insertion tool, see the spare
parts list or the accessories catalogue.

Lifting the machine
WARNING Falling machine can cause
injuries
►Place the machine in a safe position where it
can not fall over and cause damage.
Carefully check that the carrier is stable enough
when transporting or doing maintenance or other
work on the machine.
The machine is delivered in a box. To lift out the
machine in a safe way, fit the lifting strap in the
manner shown in the picture below.
Installation
WARNING Whipping hydraulic hose
Hydraulic hoses under pressure can whip
uncontrollably if screws loosen or are loosened. A
whipping hydraulic hose can cause severe injuries.
►Depressurise the hydraulic system before
loosening the connection of a hydraulic hose.
►Tighten the nuts on the connections of the
hydraulic hoses to the required torque.
►Check that the hydraulic hose and the
connections are not damaged.
Hoses
For connection on the machine, the hydraulic hose
must be approved for a working pressure of at
least 172 bar (2,500 psi) and have a 12.7 mm (½
in.) inner diameter. To resist exterior wear and tear,
we recommend using a 2-layer hydraulic hose.
The machine connection marked P (pump) is the
oil inlet, and the connection marked T (tank) is the
oil outlet. Always connect both hoses and make
sure that all hose connections are tight. Never
carry the machine by the hose.
Quick-release couplings
The original hydraulic hoses are fitted with Flat-
Face quick-release couplings that are strong and
easy to clean. The quick-release couplings are
fitted so that the male connection supplies oil and
the female connection receives oil.
NOTICE Wipe all couplings clean before
connecting. Ensure that couplings are clean and
correctly engaged before operation. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the quick couplings
and cause overheating and cause foreign matter to
enter the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic oil
In order to protect the environment, use of
biologically degradable hydraulic oil is
recommended. No other fluids must be used.
◆Viscosity (preferred) 20-40 cSt.
◆Viscosity (permitted) 15-100 cSt.
◆Viscosity index minimum 100.
Standard mineral or synthetic oil can be used.
Make sure to only use clean oil and filling
equipment.
When the machine is used continuously, the oil
temperature will stabilise at a level which is called
the working temperature. This will, depending on
the type of work and the cooling capacity of the
hydraulic system, be between 20-40°C (68-104°F)
above the ambient temperature. At working
temperature, the oil viscosity must be within the
preferred limits. The viscosity index indicates the
connection between viscosity and temperature. A
high viscosity is therefore preferred, because the
LPHB-M Safety and operating instructions

11

oil can then be used within a wider temperature
range. The machine must not be used, if oil
viscosity fails to remain within the permitted area,
or if the working temperature of the oil does not fall
between 20°C (68°F) and 70°C (158°F).
Pressure adjustment
The maximum pressure of the power source is
important. The pressure created in case of an
incorrectly or unfitted return line coupling would
cause overloading. Which could harm the machine
and result in bodily injuries. The maximum
pressure of the power source is 172 bar (limited by
safety valve adjustment).
WARNING Operating pressure
If the maximum operating pressure for the
hydraulic machine is exceeded, it can result in
material damage and personal injury.
►Always run the hydraulic machine with the
correct operating pressure, see "Technical
data".
►Only readjust the pressure relief valve (torque
control) on the machine according to procedure
and values described under maintenance. Note
that higher settings might lead to a higher
torque, which could harm the machine and
result in serious injury or death.
Insertion tool
CAUTION Hot working tool
The tip of the working tool can become hot and
sharp when used. Touching it can lead to burns
and cuts.
►Never touch a hot or sharp working tool.
►Wait until the working tool has cooled down
before carrying out maintenance work.
WARNING Ejected insertion tool
If the tool retainer on the machine is not tightened,
the inserted tool can be ejected with force, which
can cause personal injury.
►Never start the carrier while changing the
insertion tool.
►Shut the carrier's engine off and secure the
carrier and machine against involuntary start
before changing the inserted tool or
accessories.
►Never point the inserted tool at yourself or
anyone else.
►Make sure that the insertion tool is fully inserted
and the tool retainer is tightened before the
machine is started.
►Check the locking function by pulling the
inserted tool outwards forcefully.
Fitting and removing the insertion tool
WARNING Running engine
Changing the inserted tool or accessories while the
carrier's engine is running can cause serious injury.
►Secure the carrier against involuntary
activation.

Noise declaration statement
LPHB-M
Sound pressure 1 dB(A) <70
1 Sound pressure level according to EN ISO 3744 in accordance with directive 2000/14/EC at 10 metres
distance.
These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in accordance with the stated directive or
standards and are suitable for comparison with the declared values of other tools tested in accordance with
the same directive or standards. These declared values are not adequate for use in risk assessments and
values measured in individual work places may be higher. The actual exposure values and risk of harm
experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the way the user works, in what material the
machine is used, as well as upon the exposure time and the physical condition of the user, and the condition
of the machine.
We, Construction Tools EOOD, cannot be held liable for the consequences of using the declared values,
instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an individual risk assessment in a work place situation
over which we have no control.
