Tool operators and maintenance personnel must comply
with the safety precautions given in this manual and on
the stickers and tags attached to the tool and hose.
These precautions are given for your safety. Review
them carefully before operating the tool and before
performing general maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel should develop additional
precautions relating to the specic work area and local
safety regulations. Place the added precautions in the
space provided in this manual.
The EA08 Hydraulic Earth Auger will provide safe and
dependable service if operated in accordance with the
instructions given in this manual. Read and understand
this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the
tool and hoses before operation. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• Operator must start in a work area without
bystanders. The operator must be familiar with all
prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and
dangerous terrain conditions.
• Establish a training program for all operators to
ensure safe operation.
• Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or
under the supervision of an instructor.
• Always wear safety equipment such as goggles,
head protection and safety shoes at all times when
operating the tool.
• Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic
power source is connected. Accidental engagement
of the tool can cause serious injury.
• Do not operate the tool without rst installing the
torque tube. Install all accessories before use.
• Do not install or remove an tool while the hydraulic
power source is connected. Accidental engagement
of the tool can cause serious injury.
• Never operate the tool if you are not sure if
underground utilities are present. Underground
electrical utilities present an electrocution hazard.
Underground gas utilities present an explosion
hazard. Other underground utilities may present
other hazards.
• Do not wear loose tting clothing when operating the
tool. Loose tting clothing can become entangled
with the tool and cause serious injury.
• Always operate the tool at full throttle. Operating
the tool with the trigger slightly depressed raises the
hydraulic pressure, which increases torque output.
This type of operation can result in unexpected
“kickback”.
• Do not remove the auger from a hole until it has
completely stopped turning.
• Supply hoses must have a minimum working
pressure rating of 2500 psi/175 bar.
• Be sure all hose connections are tight.
• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the
OFF position when coupling or uncoupling the tool.
Wipe all couplers clean before connecting. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the quick couplers
and cause overheating of the hydraulic system. Use
only lint-free cloths.
• Do not operate the tool at oil temperatures above
140 °F/60 °C. High oil temperatures can cause
operator discomfort and may damage the tool.
• Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted or
incompletely assembled tool.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage,
all tool repair, maintenance and service must only
be performed by authorized and properly trained
personnel.
• Do not exceed the rated limits of the tool or use the
tool for applications beyond it’s design capacity.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels
and warning stickers, legible.
• Always replace parts with replacement parts
recommended by STANLEY.
• Check fastener tightness before each use daily.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
6 ► EA08 User Manual
The rated working pressure of the hydraulic hose must be equal to or higher than the relief valve setting on the
hydraulic system. There are three types of hydraulic hose that meet this requirement and are authorized for use with
STANLEY hydraulic tools. They are:
Certi ed non-conductive — constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic ber braid
reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. Hose labeled certifi ed non-
conductive is the only hose authorized for use near electrical conductors.
Wire-braided (conductive) — constructed of synthetic rubber inner tube, single or double wire braid
reinforcement, and weather resistant synthetic rubber cover. This hose is conductive and must never be used
near electrical conductors.
Fabric-braided (not certi ed or labeled non-conductive) — constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber
inner tube, synthetic ber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover.
This hose is not certifi ed non-conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.
HOSE SAFETY TAGS
To help ensure your safety, the following DANGER tags are attached to all hose purchased from STANLEY. DO
NOT REMOVE THESE TAGS.
If the information on a tag is illegible because of wear or damage, replace the tag immediately. A new tag may be
obtained from your STANLEY Distributor.

Recommendations
The chart to the right shows recommended
minimum hose diameters for various
hose lengths based on gallons per minute
(GPM)/liters per minute (LPM). These
recommendations are intended to keep return
line pressure (back pressure) to a minimum
acceptable level to ensure maximum tool
performance.
This chart is intended to be used for hydraulic
tool applications only based on STANLEY tool
operating requirements and should not be
used for any other applications.
All hydraulic hose must have at least a
rated minimum working pressure equal to
the maximum hydraulic system relief valve
setting.
All hydraulic hose must meet or exceed
speci cations as set forth by SAE J517.

PREPARATION PROCEDURES
PREPARATION FOR INITIAL USE
The handles and torque tube, which are shipped
unattached, must be connected to the tool prior to
operation. An optional auger bit must also be connected
to the tool for proper operation. Inspect the tool to
ensure the tool was not damaged in shipping and does
not contain packing debris.
CHECK HYDRAULIC POWER SOURCE
1. Using a calibrated ow meter and pressure gauge,
check that the hydraulic power source develops a
ow of 4–9 GPM/15–34 LPM at 2000 psi/140 bar.
2. Ensure the hydraulic power source is equipped with
a relief valve set to open at 2100–2250 psi/145–155
bar minimum.
3. Check that the hydraulic circuit matches the tool for
open-center (OC) operation.
INSTALL HANDLES
Refer to the assembly instructions provided with the tool.
1. Install the handles (1) and fasteners (2). Tighten
each fastener to 40 ft. lbs./54 Nm.
CHECK TOOL
1. Make sure all tool accessories are correctly installed.
Failure to install tool accessories properly can result
in damage to the tool or personal injury.
2. There should be no signs of leaks.
3. The tool should be clean, with all ttings and
fasteners tight.
CHECK TRIGGER MECHANISM
1. Check that the trigger operates smoothly and is free
to travel between the ON–OFF–ON positions.
INSTALL AUGER BIT
The EA08 Earth Auger accepts a standard 1-3/8 inch
female hex socket.
1. Align the hole on the auger chuck with the hole in
the coupler (15).
2. Slide the auger chuck into the coupler. Secure it
using the clevis pin (33) and hairpin cotter (34).
Figure 2. Installing the Auger
INSTALL TORQUE TUBE
1. The torque tube is attached to the base as shown
in Figure 3. Be sure to use the cotter-less clevis pin
provided with the unit. Make sure the pin is pushed
through both holes in the base.
2. The opposite end of the tube can be connected to
a solid object, such as a STANLEY hydraulic power
unit, a trailer hitch ball, ground stake, etc.
Figure 3. Installing Torque Tube
CONNECT HOSES
1. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean, lint-free cloth
before making connections.
2. Connect the hoses from the hydraulic power source
to the hose couplers on the tool. Connect the return
hose rst and disconnect it last to minimize trapped
pressure within the tool.
3. Observe ow indicators stamped on hose couplers
to be sure that oil will ow in the proper direction.
OPERATION
EA08 User Manual ◄ 11
The female coupler is the inlet coupler.
Note: The pressure increase in uncoupled hoses
left in the sun may result in making them difcult to
connect. When possible, connect the free ends of
operating hoses together.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Observe all safety precautions.
2. Make sure the torque tube is attached to the base of
the EA08 and anchored to a solid object.
Note: Always use the torque tube.
3. Position yourself so that you are able to operate the
ON/OFF trigger with your right hand. Grasp each
handle rmly. Your helper positions himself/herself
directly opposite and facing you and grasping each
handle rmly.
4. Lift the EA08, with auger attached, and position the
auger so it is perpendicular to where you intend to
dig. The auger should be just above (not touching)
the ground.
5. With your feet, and your helper’s feet, spread and
rmly planted, squeeze the ON/OFF trigger fully to
start the auger turning.
6. Lower the EA08 until the auger starts digging. With
soft soil the auger will penetrate into the ground with
little effort and may require you to apply a slight lift to
the EA08. With hard soil the auger cannot penetrate
the ground easily and may require you to apply
some down pressure to the EA08. Try not to apply
enough down pressure to stall the auger. Augering
in different soils requires different techniques and
practice to become procient.
7. After reaching the desired depth, lift the auger
straight out of the hole. Always release the ON/OFF
trigger before the tip of the auger reaches the top of
the hole.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the tool is to be used during cold weather, preheat
the hydraulic uid at low engine speed. When using the
normally recommended uids, uid temperature should
be at or above 50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centistokes)
before use.
OPERATION
12 ► EA08 User Manual
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem. When
diagnosing faults in operation of the tool, always check that the hydraulic power source is supplying the correct
hydraulic ow and pressure to the tool as listed in the table. Use a ow meter known to be accurate. Check the ow
with the hydraulic oil temperature at least 80 °F/27 °C.
SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION
Earth auger does not run. Power unit not functioning. Check power unit for proper ow
and pressure (4–9 GPM/15–34
LPM, 2000 psi/140 bar).
Couplers or hoses blocked. Remove restriction.
Pressure and return line hoses
reversed at ports.
Be sure hoses are connected to
their proper ports.
Poor earth auger performance. Power unit not functioning. Check power unit for proper ow
and pressure (4–9 GPM/15–34
LPM, 2000 psi/140 bar).
Couplers or hose blocked. Remove restriction.
Fluid too hot (above 140 °F/60 °C). Provide cooler to maintain proper
uid temperature.
Earth auger operates slow. Low oil ow from power unit. Check power source for proper
ow.
High back-pressure. Check hydraulic system for
excessive back pressure and
correct as required.
