SAFETY GUIDELINES SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Use the correct tool for the job. Forcing
a tool to do a job it was not designed for
increases the risk of accident or injury.
• Disconnect tools and machinery from
power, or remove batteries before
making any changes or adjustments, or
before storing the tools and machinery.
This reduces or removes the risk of a power
connection that causes the tool or machinery
to accidentally re, which can help prevent
injury or accident.
• Check the general condition of the power
tool for damage or any problems that
could aect the way the tool or machine
works. An unrepaired tool or machine can
lead to accident and injury. Only have your
tool or machine repaired with genuine parts
from The ToolShed.
• Only use the power tool and machinery
with genuine parts or accessories that are
designed to be used with the power tool
and machinery. Failure to do so could result
in accident or injury or damage your tool or
machinery.
• Store your tool or machinery out of reach
of children, and away from untrained
personnel when not in use. Use by some-
body untrained, or a child, could lead to
accident or serious injury.
Power Tool & Machinery Use &
Care
• Always wear personal protective equip-
ment (PPE). Eye protection, ear protection,
dust masks, and other protective equipment
will help to reduce the risk of personal injury
or long-term illnesses.
• Dress appropriately. DO NOT wear loose
clothing that can get caught in moving
parts. Keep hair, loose clothing, jewellery, and
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS &
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow
instructions and warnings could lead to
serious injury, electric shock, or re.
anything else that could be of risk, away from
moving parts in the machine, or they could be
caught therein.
• Always remain alert and DO NOT operate
power tools or machinery under the
inuence of any substances like alcohol
or drugs, including prescription medica-
tions. Lack of focus could lead to injury or
accident while operating these power tools
and machinery.
• Always ensure proper footing and
balance. Overreaching can lead to slipping
and falling which can result in injury or acci-
dent.
• Ensure the power switch is in the OFF
position before connecting any battery,
or power source to the power tool or
machinery. This can cause injury as tools
and machinery can suddenly re incidentally
when live, causing accidents.
• Use all provided dust collection and
extraction attachments, if included. This
equipment, along with the use of PPE dust
masks, can help keep you safe from dust, and
keep your work site clear from hazards.
• Ensure loose parts such as wrenches
or adjusting keys are removed before
starting the power tool or machinery.
WARNING
Work Area Safety
Personal Safety
• Ensure that your work area is kept well lit
and clean. Lack of visibility and clutter greatly
increase the risk of accident when using tools.
• Keep bystanders, pets, and children clear
when operating a power tool or machine.
They can cause distraction or risk injury to
themselves.
• Ensure you are not operating the power
tool or machinery in the presence of dust,
liquids, ammable gases, or anything
that creates an explosive atmosphere.
Power tools and machinery can create sparks
which can lead to ignition and re hazards in
working environments.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOURS
ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
Gasoline & Vapours When Adding or Removing
Gasoline
When Starting the Engine
• Gasoline is highly ammable and explosive.
• Gasoline can cause a re or explosion if ignited.
• Gasoline is a liquid fuel, but its vapours can
ignite.
• Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be
cleaned up immediately if spilled on skin or
clothes.
• Gasoline has a distinctive odour; this will help
detect potential leaks quickly.
• In any petroleum gas re, you should not
attempt to extinguish the ames unless it
can be done in such a way by turning the
fuel supply valve OFF. This is because if a re
is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not
turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could
be created.
• Never ll the gas tank to capacity as gasoline
needs room to expand if temperature rises.
• Never use gasoline that is stale, contaminated,
or mixed. Avoid getting dirt or water in the
fuel tank.
• DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
• Turn the engine o and let it cool for at least
two minutes before removing the gasoline
cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure
in the tank.
• Only ll or drain gasoline outdoors in a
well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the
engine at the gas station. Use an approved
container to transfer fuel to the engine.
• DO NOT overll the gasoline tank.
• Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open
ames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of
ignition.
• DO NOT rell the fuel tank while the engine is
running or while the engine is still hot.
• When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be
cleaned up immediately. Dispose of uids and
cleaning materials as per local regulations.
• DO NOT attempt to start a damaged engine.
• Make certain that the gasoline cap, air lter,
spark plug, fuel lines, and exhaust system are
properly in place.
• Allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully
before attempting to start the engine.
• Make certain that the water pump is resting
rmly on level ground.
• Spark from a removed spark plug wire can
result in re or electrical shock.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Fuel & Engine Safety
Operate the machinery outdoors only
in a well-ventilated area and point the
exhaust away from you.
WARNING
• DO NOT operate the machine inside any
building, including garages, basements,
crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure, or compart-
ment, including the storage compartment of
a recreational vehicle.
• DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a
conned area through windows, doors, vents,
or other openings.
• NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN
IF doors and windows are open. ONLY use
OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,
and vents.
WARNING
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU
IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains
Carbon Monoxide. This is a poison you
cannot see or smell.
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
colourless, odourless, poison gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness,
fainting or death. If you start to feel dizzy or
weak, get fresh air immediately.

• Have your tools and machinery serviced
at The ToolShed with ToolShed replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool or machine is maintained.
WARNING
The warnings and precautions
discussed in this manual cannot cover
all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be under stood
by the operator that common sense
and caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must be
supplied by the operator.

Post Hole Borer Specic Safety Fitting Auger Bits
Fuelling
Fuel Mixing
• Before using the post hole borer, the operator
must be informed of the manufacturers safety
instructions and instructions for use. The
machine must only be operated by a trained
person.
• Only use the post hole borer in daylight or
good articial light.
• Always start the hole borer carefully with your
feet well away from the auger bit.
• Do not leave the hole borer unattended while
the engine is running.
• Do not use the hole borer barefoot or in open-
toed shoes. Always wear suitable clothing,
gloves and safety shoes.
• Use the hole borer in soil only. Do not use
the borer to bore holes in excessively rocky
ground.
• Do not bore holes in an area where there may
be hidden gas and water pipes or electricity
and other cables.
• Ensure the auger bit is attached to the gearbox
output shaft securely.
• Do not use a damaged or worn out auger bit.
• Do not carry the hole borer with the engine
running, the auger bit should not rotate when
the engine is idling.
• Keep hands and feet away from rotating auger
bit at all times.
• Always ensure that the engine is switched
o and the spark plug cap is removed before
making any adjustments.
• Always ensure the post hole borer is switch o
before making any adjustments.
• With the locking pin and split pin removed,
place the hollow end of the auger bit onto the
drive shaft on the underside of the hole borer.
• Line the hole in the shaft of the auger bit (1.1)
with the hole on the drive shaft of the hole
borer.
• Push the locking pin (1.2) through the hole
and lock in position using the split pin (1.3)
provided.
• The hole borer is powered by a two stroke
engine which uses a petrol oil fuel mix. The
correct fuel mixture is a ratio of 25:1 of petrol
and two stroke oil. (25 parts of unleaded petrol
to one part of two stroke oil).
• To ll; remove the Fuel tank Cap (1.1).
• Pour the premixed petrol/oil contents of the
Fuel Mixing Bottle (supplied) into the fuel tank
through the ller neck (1.2).
• The fuel tank has a maximum capacity of 1.2L.
To mix the fuel correctly, use the fuel mixing
bottle to measure the correct amount of
petrol.
WARNING
WARNING
Reactive torque may occur when the
rotating auger makes contact with hard
debris. Therefore a rm hold with both
hands is essential.
Do not mix fuel in the hole borer fuel
tank. Measure the fuel into the mixing
bottle, then add the correct proportion
of two stroke oil according to the
markings on the fuel mixing bottle.
• Before using your hole borer, always visually
inspect it to see if any parts are worn or
damaged. Replace damaged parts before
using the machine.
• Contact your nearest ToolShed if you require
any replacement parts or advice.

OPERATION OPERATION
Pull the Recoil Starter During Use
Filling the Fuel Tank
Starting the Engine
Operating the Post Hole Borer
Stopping the Engine
Stop/Run Switch
• When resistance is felt, pull the cord sharply.
Continue this procedure until the engine
starts.
• Hold down and secure the hole borer engine
and body rmly with one hand. With the
other hand grip the recoil starter cord handle
(6.1) and pull slowly until resistance is felt. The
resistance indicates that the recoil starter is
engaged.
• Remove any objects or debris that could be
thrown, jammed or become entangled in the
auger bit.
• Adopt a stable stance, always keeping the
hole borer in front of your body.
• Grip the handles with both hands, ensuring
you can safely operate the control levers.
• Allow the auger bit to reach full speed before
commencing the boring operation.
• If the auger bit hits a stone or hard ground
the rotation may stop immediately and give a
hard torque reaction.
• It is therefore required that the operator has a
rm grip on both of the handles during oper-
ation in order to compensate for a sudden
torque reaction.
• Remove any jammed debris from the auger
bit and examine for any damage before
recommencing work.
• This product requires two hands to ensure
safe operation.
• Make sure that the hole boring operation
does not involve the risk of underground
contact with electric cables, gas mains, water
pipes etc.
• Inspect the work area before starting.
• When the engine has been successfully
started and is running smoothly, return the
choke lever (3.1) to the OFF position.
• Press in the safety switch lever (5.2) then
squeeze the throttle lever (5.3), the auger will
begin to rotate.
• To adjust the boring speed; rotate the speed
adjuster (5.4) until the desired setting is
achieved.
• To stop the auger bit from rotating, briey
squeeze then release the throttle lever.
• Push the STOP/RUN switch to the STOP posi-
tion (7.1)
• Use a suitable funnel to transfer the fuel mix
from the Fuel Mixing Bottle to the hole borer
fuel tank, taking care not to spill any fuel, or
over ll the fuel tank.
• For safety reasons, this product has been
supplied with the fuel system completely
drained of fuel, therefore the engine will
require “Running In”.
• When using this machine for the rst time, you
may experience some diculty in starting the
hole borer. Once the fuel has fully circulated
through the system, the hole borer will start.
• Once it has been started, and run in for the
rst time, future starting will be easier.
• Gently agitate the fuel mix by gently rocking
the hole borer backwards and forwards a few
times. This will ensure that the two stroke oil
has not settled out from the petrol within the
tank.
• Set the choke lever (3.1) to the ON position.
• If the carburettor requires priming, pump the
clear rubber priming button (4.1) until fuel
appears in the clear button.
• Make sure that the STOP/RUN switch (5.1)
found atop the right handle of the Post Hole
Borer, is in the RUN position.
