- to start the engine
- at idling speed
- to unwind a trapped
auger
If the auger snags on an obstacle
in the hole (e.g. roots or stones) the
earth auger will rotate counterclockwise -
when during the course of this rotation
the activating lever is pressed against
the operator’s thigh, it is designed to
engage the auger brake.

Before you start work:
With the engine running at idle speed,
engage the auger brake and open the
throttle fully for no more than 3 sec.
- the auger must not rotate.
The auger brake is subject to normal
wear and tear.
Check that it is operating properly before
you start work.
If the auger brake fails, have it repaired
immediately by your STIHL service shop.
