OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: DRILLMASTER ENGINE DRILLS
Inspect the unit to ensure that it is complete. Select auger bit
size to suit diameter of hole to be drilled. Insert auger bit into
shaft with the flat on its shank pointing towards the grub screw.
Tighten very firmly grub screw with the 6mm allen key provided.
See Fig.73.
As with any other power tool it is
essential that you first make yourself
familiar with all the safety precautions that have to be taken.
Never take risks which could endanger yourself or others. You
should strictly observe these simple rules:
DO NOT USE the Drill unit; unless you have proper
balance, a firm and safe footing, a firm and steady
grip on the clean and dry front handle and rear
handle. Do not over-reach. If you do not have a firm
grip and/or your feet are not securely placed in a firm position
(eg. on slippery ground; in tree branches; on ladder, chair,
makeshift platform; etc), injury can occur.
! WARNING
When using the Drill unit the front handle must be used and
held firmly with your left hand, and “CUPPED” RIGHT
HAND
UNDER REAR THROTTLE HANDLE. (See Fig.60 on page 11).
If the engine stops while drilling do not restart with
auger in hole as serious injury could occur.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: AIRLIFT BLOWERS
Start the motor (page 11, Fig.58) and allow to run to warm up.
To stop the motor, push combination stop lever/cruise control lever
forward.
To increase speed of blower, pull trigger throttle up. To lock in
any speed, move cruise control lever rearwards when operating
trigger throttle.
To release the “cruise control” push lever forward.
On full “cruise control” hold blower at end of handle, to allow
nozzle to point at angle to ground without wrist twist. Shown in
Fig.99A.
HOW TO USE YOUR ATOM BLOWER
FOR THE QUICKEST AND BEST WAY TO
CLEAN UP
! NOTE
Blowing and cleaning up
Operate throttle and air speed to suit job requirements.
Due to the high air output and velocity, the Atom
Blowers can clean up large areas very quickly. After
a few minutes of use you will become very efficient.
On full “cruise control” and holding end of
handle as illustrated, the 4-Stroke Model 855
AIRLIFT
®
blower in use is approximately 1Kg (2.2lbs) lighter
at close to sea level altitude. Also Atom 2-Stroke blowers are
approximately similar in AIRLIFT
®
weight reduction. Weight
reduction varies with atmospheric pressure changes.
Atom AIRLIFT
®
is the result of the
very strong air blast “lifting” the blower in very stable
equalibrium so that the operator has less weight to carry and
without affecting the blowing performance to very rapidly
complete he clean up operation.

ATTACHMENTS (optional extras) fit all AIRLIFT Blowers
The Atom 4-Stroke blower achieves instant
full power from start-up. As with all 2-Stroke
blowers, the Atom 2-Stroke blowers take several minutes of full
speed running to achieve full power.
1. Because Atom Blowers efficiently generate massive air blast,
only one nozzle is required for quickest and best results.
2. Use blower holding rear of handle as shown Fig 99A
(WITHOUT downward wrist twisting as has to be done
for other brands) and with cruise control fully on.
AIRLIFT
®
is active making blower up to 1 kg
lighter to use with either left or right
hand.
3. Because the Atom AIRLIFT
®
blower is so
light at full throttle it can easily be held 30mm
clear of operator pants or in front of operator
(Fig. 99B). Regardless of position blower is
always in comfortable smooth stable equilibrium.
4. Using the massive Atom AIRLIFT
®
air blast in
this way speeds up the work to be done and
saves on fuel. Atom blowers work continuously
and restart easily in extremely hot weather.
