Check all items to detect damage during shipping. If you notice any faults or missing parts,
immediately notify the dealer from whom you purchased the auger.
ACCESSORIES
The auger is delivered with the following accessories:
1pc drill 1pc bolt
Brooch 1pcs Hex key 1pc
ASSEMBLY
Adjust the auger on the output shaft, insert the bolt and close with the nut.
V. FUNCTIONNING
EXTENSION CABLE
Use the appropriate extension cords with the device. Use only the power cables intended for outdoor
use.
Use the appropriate length cable with this auger. The cable must be of sufficient section to support the
necessary current. An improper cable will cause voltage drops on the device. The auger will then lose
tension and overheat.
Keep the cable away from the drilling area. Regularly inspect the cables. Replace damaged cables.
Extension cords may disconnect from the power cable during use. To avoid this situation, form a knot
with the two cables.
1. Before starting the machine, position the auger vertically at the desired drilling point;
2. Firmly place the foot away from the auger;
3. Hold the two handles firmly with both hands;

12
4. Press the switch release button first and press the switch to rotate the auger. Apply light downward
pressure on the handles to drill the hole. Regularly lift the auger to clear drilling debris from the hole;
5. Overloading the auger during drilling could prevent it from turning. If such a situation occurs, raise
the auger to reduce the drilling effort on the engine and allow debris to exit the hole;
6. Avoid exerting great bodily pressure on the machine. Let the auger dig by exerting a slight
downward pressure;
7. Do not use an auger intended for ice on the ground and vice versa. Each type of auger corresponds
to a particular drilling;
8. Do not operate the machine in a very rocky environment.
VI. CLEANING AND SERVICING
NOTE: Below are the instructions for maintaining your auger. Any maintenance operation not
mentioned in this manual must be carried out by an authorized service center.
