Never run an engine indoors or in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odourless, deadly gas.
If the earth auger will not turn in a hole, turn engine off and allow to cool before
attempting to remove it manually.
Do not let the person who do not fully understands the manual thoroughly,
operate the auger.
When operating the auger make sure to keep bystanders 15m away.
WARNING--Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
All engines contain carbon monoxide in their exhaust. Carbon monoxide is a deadly,
colourless, tasteless, odourless gas which may be present even if you do not smell or see
any engine exhaust. Levels of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly, can be present for
days in an enclosed area if it has poor ventilation. Any level of carbon monoxide, if inhaled,
can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, and eventually death. If you
experience any of these symptoms, seek fresh air and medical attention immediately.
Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Never run an engine indoors.
Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon monoxide can reach
dangerous levels very quickly.
Never run an engine in places where exhaust fumes may be pulled into a building.
Never run an engine in a poorly ventilated area where the exhaust fumes may be
trapped and not easily taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas
where hills surround your working area.)
Never run an engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. (Examples include:
buildings that are enclosed on one or more sides, under tents, car ports or
basements.)
Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed in the direction away
from the operator.
Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People should always be far
away from the operation of the engine and its attachments
Petrol Fires or handling Fuel Safely:
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Never use fuel where a spark or flame may be
present. Never use fuel where a potential source of ignition could occur. (Examples include:
hot water or room heaters, clothes dryer, electric motors, etc.)
Keep flames and sparks away from the engine and fuel to prevent fires. Fuel fires spread
very quickly and are highly explosive
Prevention of Petrol Fires:
Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include: basement, garage,
barn, shed, house, porch, etc.)
Always fill fuel tank outside in a well-ventilated area.
Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Stop the engine
and allow to cool before filling.
Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.

CAUTION:
Do not alter/modify the engine or auger:
Never alter or modify the engine from the factory. Serious injury or death may
occur if the engine is modified or altered.
Always wear hearing protection while operation the engine.
Please do not start your earth auger until you have read the previous section of
this manual. If you have read these, follow the steps below to start your earth
auger.
Never store engine with petrol in the tank indoors. Fuel and fuel vapors are highly
flammable.
Never mix fuel and oil directly in the engine petrol tank. Use only approved non-
metal, portable fuel containers
An adult must always handle and fill the engine with fuel.
Always handle fuel in a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames or
sparks.
Filling Fuel Tank:
1. Shut-off the engine and allow it to cool completely before refilling the fuel tank.
2. Move to a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames and sparks, before
refilling.
3. Clean debris from the area around the fuel cap.
4. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Place the cap on a clean, dry surface.
5. Carefully add fuel without spilling.
6. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full, allow space for the fuel to expand.
7. Immediately replace fuel cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled fuel and allow it to dry
before starting the engine.
NORMAL OPERATION
1. The clutch will transfer maximum power only after two hours of normal operation.
During this break-in period clutch slippage may occur. The clutch should be kept
free of oil or other moisture for efficient operation.
2. Drill holes without placing excessive body weight on the unit. The auger operates
most efficiently with a shaving action caused by the weight of the unit itself.
3. Never run an engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
4. Do not use an earth auger in the ice.
5. To attach auger to the power head, align holes at top of auger shaft with the
output shaft hole. Insert 3/8-16 x 1-1/2” bolt and secure bolt with provided 3/8” bi-
way lock nut using a wrench
NOTE: The ends of the bolt should be even with the auger collar. Bolt head and thread
end should never go beyond earth collar

2. Before starting the engine, turn the screw on the top of the fuel cap all the way
open (counterclockwise) to its venting position. To ensure that the fuel will not
spill during use, check that the fuel cap is screwed on tightly and the fuel cap
screw is in the venting position.
3. After using the power earth auger and before putting away or transporting it in a
vehicle, screw the fuel cap screw on (clockwise) tightly. This will prevent fuel from
leaking during storage. (The fuel cap will not leak fuel during storage if the fuel
cap is tight and the screw at the top is tight.)
NOTE: When storing unit in an upright position for pro-longed periods of time in
warm weather, vent fuel cap to prevent fuel from leaking from the carburetor.

Page 8of 20
CAUTION:
1. The filling volume of lubricating oil for the gasoline engine is 75ml.
Due to the small capacity, it is required to slowly fill the oil to avoid overflow or
spilling.
2. Check the lubricating oil level of the gasoline engine at intervals of 10 hours and
fill it up to the oil filler if the gasoline engine is required to continuously operate
for above 10 hours.
3. Users shall use engine oil of different brands under different ambient
temperatures. The recommended engine oil is SAE 10W-30, which is applicable
to the general ambient environment
4. The use of the lubricating oil free of cleaning agent or the lubricating oil for the
two-stroke engine will shorten the service life of the gasoline engine. The
operating temperature range recommended for the gasoline engine is -5℃~40℃.
Recommended fuel
It is recommended to use the unleaded gasoline with an octane value of 90# or higher, so
as to reduce the carbon deposition in the combustion chamber.
Do not use the out-of-date or polluted gasoline or the fuel mixture of engine oil and gasoline.
It is also required to keep the water or dust from getting into the fuel tank.
Sometimes, there will be spark knock sound or the bang-bang noise in case of overload
operation, which is normal.
If the continuous spark knock sound can still be heard when the gasoline engine operates
under the normal load, it is suggested to replace the gasoline with other brands; after then,
if the sound still exists, please consult the specially authorized service shop for solution
CAUTION
Gasoline is highly flammable and can explode under some circumstance.
Refill the gasoline in the well-ventilated environment and shut down the engine
during refueling; no smoking at the refueling place and no open fire and spark at
the gasoline storing place is permitted.
The fuel tank shall not be overfilled (The fuel level shall not be higher than the
neck of the oil filler); inspect whether the fuel tank cap is properly covered after
the refueling is completed.
Be careful not to spill fuel when adding the fuel. Spilled fuel or vapor of the
overflowing fuel may result in fire. Wipe up any spilled fuel without delay.
Do not allow children to touch it. Capacity of fuel tank: KK-PX35 (139F/P-B) 0.6L
Gasoline containing alcohol
If the gasoline containing alcohol (alcoholic gasoline) is adopted, the ethanol content in the
alcoholic gasoline shall not exceed 10%. Do not use the alcoholic gasoline where the
methanol is free of combustion improver and corrosion inhibitor. Though the methanol does
contain combustion improver and corrosion inhibitor, the methanol content in the alcoholic
gasoline shall not exceed 5%.

Startup of Gasoline Engine
Pull the choke valve to the “OFF”
position and return
CAUTION
Do not use the choke valve when the
gasoline engine is hot or in the high-
temperature state.
Startup:
Grasp the starter handle and slowly pull until you feel the resistance, then firmly pull it
outwards.
CAUTION
It is required to slowly lay back the handle along the resilience of the starter rope
rather than abruptly release the handle and allow it to rebound and strike the
gasoline engine, which will damage the starter.
It is required to quickly pull the starter, or the electrode of the spark plug cannot spark,
which will consequently result in the starting failure.
In case of using the gasoline engine in the
plateau region, the air and fuel mixture of
the carburetor in the normal state will be
too dense, which will reduce the running
performance of the gasoline engine and
increase the fuel consumption. Thus, the
carburetor shall be replaced with a special
one for use in the plateau region.
With the increase of the elevation, the
power of the gasoline engine will have
some decline.
