Cleaning
• We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately each time you have nished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the
device.
Maintenance
For all work on the machine, the spark plug cap and the
spark plug have to be removed (high voltage).
Please adhere to the maintenance schedule.

Check fuel tank and fuel lines for tightness.
Check mounting parts, exhaust cover, air lter cover,
oil, position of the auger and functioning of the oper-
ating elements.
After 20 operating hours
Clean air lter and check spark plug
After 100 operating hours
Clean fuel tank and replace spark plug.
Lubricate transmission.
After 300 operating hours

Important notice in the event of repairs:
When sending earth augers to be repaired, please note
that, for safety reasons, they must be delivered to the
service station free from oil and petrol.
Warning!
No smoking and no open re.
Risk of explosion.
Air lter (g. 4 - 5)
Regular cleaning of the air lter prevents carburettor
malfunctions.
Cleaning the air lter and replacing the air lter insert:
• Loosen the screw (E) on the air lter casing (3), re-
move the air lter cover and check it.
• Replace the damaged element.
• Clean dirt from the inside of the lter casing with a
clean, damp cloth.
Starting the motor: (g. 3)
• If the motor is cold, turn the choke lever (C) to the
position.
• If the motor is warm, turn the choke lever (C) to the
position.
• Prime the fuel pump (16) by pressing it several times
until you can see fuel in the pump.
• Put the stop switch (11) in the „start“ position.
• Lightly pull on the starter cord (9) until you can feel
resistance, then pull on the cord strongly 2-3 times
until the motor res briey.
CAUTION!: Do not pull out the starter cable more than
approx. 50 cm, and lead it back by hand. For e󰀩cient
starting, it is important to pull the starter cable quickly
and powerfully.
• Turn the choke lever (C) to position.
• Pull the starter cord 2-3 times again until the motor
res and runs in idle mode.

the throttle lever is used.
Stop the engine
Press the stop switch (11) in the ‘Stop’ position.
When restarting, rst press the stop switch (11) back to
the ‘Start’ position.
Before starting the motor, check the following:
• Fuel level - the fuel tank should be at least half full
• Condition of the fuel lines
• Outer screw couplings for tight t
• The earth auger has to be able to run freely
Operating
• Set the auger down and actuate the throttle control
lever (13).
• Adjust the power according to the ground conditions
in order to be able to proceed ideally.
• If the ground condition is ideal, permitting a steady
work speed, using the adjusting screw, you can lock
the throttle control lever (13) (in the centre position)
in order to make your work easier.
When leaving the auger, the motor must always be
turned o󰀨.
