Throttle cable adjustment
: Check adjustment of throttle cable – 
see chapter on "Adjusting the 
Throttle Cable".
If tank has been run completely dry 
and then refilled:
: Press the fuel pump bulb at least 
fives times.
: Now start the engine.
During Break-in Period
A factory new machine should not be run 
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the 
first three tank fillings. This avoids 
unnecessary high loads during the 
break-in period. As all moving parts 
have to bed in during the break-in 
period, the frictional resistances in the 
engine are greater during this period. 
The engine develops its maximum 
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During Operation
After a long period of full-throttle 
operation, allow engine to run for a while 
at idle speed so that the heat in the 
engine can be dissipated by the flow of 
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition, 
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After Finishing Work
Wait for the engine to cool down. Drain  
the fuel Kraftstofftank and store the 
machine in a dry place. Check the 
tightness of all accessible screws and 
nuts (not adjusting screws) at regular 
regulars and retighten as necessary.
Working with Shaft Extension 
(special accessory)
Do not fit the shaft extension until the full 
length of the auger is in the hole.
Starting a hole with the shaft 
extension fitted increases the risk of 
personal injury because the unit is 
then at chest height and cannot be 
kept properly under control.
For the same reason the shaft 
extension must be removed before 
the auger is pulled out of the hole.
