OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Operation tips
Note: Before drilling a hole, always look to see what
position the forward/reverse switch is in.
•
Push the forward/reverse switch (L) to "F" for
forward. The product will rotate clockwise and
drill down into the ground. Shift your body
weight above the product to help it drill.
•
Push the forward/reverse switch (L) to
"R" for reverse. The product 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 auger to go
into the ground and out of the ground easier.
The reverse function can also be used to help
the auger attachment unbind from a root or
other obstruction.
•
When drilling a deeper hole, clear dirt/ material
from the auger attachment occasionally by
pulling the product up 1 m after drilling down.
This will make the auger attachment 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.
