handle and your left hand firmly gripping the other.
 Always keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
 The earth auger should be held at a comfortable position with the handle height no higher
than waist level.
 The throttle trigger helps control the speed of the auger to suit various ground conditions.
 Keep a comfortable distance between yourself and the drill without overreaching.
 Always pay full attention to your operation. Serious injuries may result if contact is made
with the rotating auger.
NOTE: Your earth auger is supplied with a 300mm extension shaft to be
used for deeper hole digging. DO NOT start digging a hole with the
extension attached.
The hole should always be started with the auger bit only fitted.
Once the hole is deep enough and the operator handles are at least 300mm below waist level,
you may stop the unit and attach the extension shaft between the power head and the auger
for added comfort and deeper hole depth.
