• Apply pressure only in direct line with the auger and
do not apply excessive pressure.
WARNING
Be attentive, pay attention to what you are doing and
use common sense when working with the tool.
Do not use tools when you are tired, ill or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of carelessness when using the tool can lead
to serious injury.
• Operate the product with low noise and emissions - do
not allow the engine to run unnecessarily, only accel-
erate when working.
DANGER
Danger to life!
Fuel is toxic and highly flammable. Do not smoke when
dealing with fuel.
• Before starting the work, make sure that there are no
lines (e.g. for gas, water, electricity) at the drilling site:
– Obtain information from local utility companies
– In case of doubt, check for the presence of lines
using detectors or test excavations.
– Avoid contact with live lines - Risk of electric
shock!
WARNING
To ensure product safety, only use original spare parts
from the manufacturer or spare parts approved by the
manufacturer.
ATTENTION
Never use a high-pressure cleaner to clean
your product.
The use of high-pressure cleaners shortens
the service life and reduces the ease of main-
tenance.
5.2 Handling fuel
ATTENTION
Use only E5 or E10 unleaded petrol as fuel.
DANGER
Danger to life!
Fuel is toxic and highly flammable.
• Only store fuel in containers (canisters) designed for
this purpose.
• The tank caps must always be properly screwed on
and tightened.
• For safety reasons, the fuel tanks and other fuel caps
must be replaced if damaged.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, permanent
flames, heat sources and other sources of ignition.
Do not smoke!
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuel-
ling.

• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine
and let it cool down.
• Fuel must be filled before starting the engine. While
the engine is running or immediately after switching
off the product, do not open the fuel filler cap or add
fuel.
• Open the fuel cap carefully and slowly. Wait for the
pressure to equalise and only then remove the fuel fill-
er cap completely.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so that
no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and
housing.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the fuel
tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle. Ob-
serve additional information in the combustion engine
user manual.
• If fuel has overflowed, do not start the combustion en-
gine until the area contaminated with fuel has been
cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel va-
pours have evaporated (wipe dry).
• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• If fuel has got on clothing, it must be changed.
• The tank cover must be properly screwed on and
tightened after each refuelling operation. The product
must not be put into operation without the original tank
cover screwed on.
• For safety reasons, check fuel line, fuel tank, fuel cap
and connections regularly for damage, ageing (brittle-
ness), tight fit and leaks and replace if necessary.
• Only empty the tank outdoors.
• Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of or
store operating materials, such as fuel. People, espe-
cially children, could be tempted to drink from it.
• Never store the product with fuel in the tank inside a
building. Any fuel vapours produced can come into
contact with naked flames or sparks and ignite.
• Do not place the product and fuel tank near heaters,
radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources of
heat.
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
If a defect is detected on the tank, the tank cover or on
fuel-carrying parts (fuel lines) during operation, the
combustion engine must be switched off immediately.
Then consult a specialist dealer.
5.3 Special safety instructions when
using combustion engines
DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
Internal combustion engines pose a particular danger
during operation and refuelling. Always read and ob-
serve the warning information. It can cause serious or
even fatal injuries if not observed.
