Drilling
DANGER! Risk of injury! Before begin-
ning work, check the terrain and remove all
objects that may be flung out by the prod-
uct.
DANGER! Danger of explosion or elec-
tric shock. Drilling into gas or electricity
lines can cause serious injuries! Make sure
that there are no lines (electricity, gas,
water) are underneath the soil! In case of
any doubt, please ask the building authori-
ties responsible.
WARNING! Risk of rebound! If there are
any roots or stones in the soil, the drill can
become jammed and the machine may
rebound. Therefore, drill with care and be
prepared for potential rebound.
– Remove any high grass, bushes or similar from
your working area. They could otherwise
become wrapped around the drill and cause
jamming.
– Hold the product using both hands und place the
drill vertically onto the drilling position at idling
speed.
– Carefully accelerate by pressing down the throt-
tle block (12) and actuating the throttle (13) until
the drill has worked its way several centimetres
into the ground. Do not apply pressure – the drill
works at its best under its own weight.
– At half depth of the drill, pull the product up
slightly with the drill rotating to remove the soil
] despite the
more easily out of the drillhole. This makes drill-
ing easier.
– Deeper holes with extension (item 401144)
should be carried out in this way in several steps.
– After reaching the desired depth, allow the drill
to continue running at low speed and slowly pull
the product out of the drillhole.
– Release the throttle as soon as the drill has been
completely pulled out of the hole and allow it to
come to a standstill.
– Switch off the product (► Switching off the
motor – p. 16) and set it down safely.
Jammed drill
– If the drill should not be able to be loosened in
the hole, switch off the motor immediately
]).
(► Switching off the motor – p. 16) and wait until
it has cooled down.
– Turn the machine in counter-clockwise direction
until it comes loose and then pull the drill out of
the hole.
Do not under any circumstances drill in the same
hole again afterwards, as the drill will probably
become jammed again!
