•
Push the forward/reverse switch (3) to "R" for reverse.
The machine will rotate counterclockwise and attempt to
rotate out of the ground. Pull up on the handles when
drilling into the ground, this will allow the bit to go into
the ground and out of the ground easier. The reverse
function can also be used to help the bit unbind from a
root or other obstruction.
•
When drilling a deeper hole, clear dirt/ material from the
auger bit occasionally by pulling the unit up 4 inches after
drilling down every 6 inches. This will make the auger
easier to remove once the hole has been completely
drilled.
•
In thick clay or rocky soils the hole may need to be
drilled more slowly and the earth removed more often.
•
If using in very cold conditions, the battery may need to
be warmed up for the auger to work. This can be done by
placing the battery in a warmer area (indoors, in a coat
pocket, etc.) for a couple of minutes.
WARNING
Hold the machine firmly with two hands at the same time
and do not loosen your grip before the machine stops.
Operate the machine in pairs if necessary.
