English
: Hold the auger bit vertically and
drop it from a height of about 50 cm
so that its tip pierces the ground and
stays upright.
: With the engine running at idle
speed, position the powerhead on
the upright auger bit. Make sure the
end of the auger properly engages
the drilling spindle’s coupling.
: Lock the auger in the drilling spindle
by rotating the clamp ring (1) one
quarter turn counterclockwise.
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
Storing for a short period:
Wait for engine to cool down. Store the
machine with a full fuel tank in a dry
place well away from sources of ignition
until you need it again.
Storing for a long period:
see chapter "Storing the Machine".
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.
Inspection by a Specialist
If the machine is used commercially, it
must be inspected at least once a year
by a specialist, e.g. STIHL dealer, to
ensure it is in good and safe working
order.
