Disposal of transport packaging
The packaging protects the machine from transit damage.
The packaging materials are generally selected to be green
and easy to dispose of and they can therefore be recycled.
Returning the packaging to the material resource system
saves raw materials and reduces the volume of waste.
Packaging parts (for example foils and polystyrene) may pose
a danger for children. There is a danger of asphyxiation!
Keep the packaging parts out of the reach of children and
dispose of them as soon as possible.
Transport and storage
•
The machine should be cleaned thoroughly before
placed in storage for a lengthy period.
•
Protect the auger from the effects of weather with a
plastic tarpaulin, cardboard or the like.
Safety information for operation

All safety and protective equipment must be installed
correctly and in position before the machine may be
switched on.
•
The auger must be able to turn freely.
•
Before you start the machine, ensure that the auger bit
is correctly engaged and that the moving parts of the
machine are not blocked.
•
Warning! If you are in any doubt: Ask for help
assembling the auger from a specialist at an authorised
service centre.
•
Do not use the machine until you have read the
operating manual carefully.

Safety information for inspection and maintenance work
Only a machine which undergoes regular maintenance and is
well cared for will be a satisfactory tool. A lack of
maintenance and care may result in unforeseeable accidents
and injuries.
Before starting work
Check the throttle.
Before starting work
Conduct a complete visual inspection of the machine.
Before starting work
Check that the bit is secure.
After use
Inspect the entire machine and complete any required
cleaning work.
At regular intervals
Check all the bolts to ensure that they are secure. They may
come loose over time due to vibrations.
Inspection and maintenance
IMPORTANT: The following information applies to
normal conditions of use. The intervals must be reduced
accordingly for difficult conditions and lengthy daily
working times.
