(clay, topsoil, sand, etc.). These can be, for example, holes for planting small trees,
holes for placing fence posts, or similar. The petrol-driven borehole drill may only be
used in the vertical position (drill downwards).
Do not use an ice drilling attachment until you have checked the thickness of lakes,
ponds, and rivers with the local authorities.
Sufficient protective equipment must be provided during use following the user manual.
Only drills suitable for the device, as specified in the user manual, may be used. Part of
the intended use is also reading the user manual before working, observing the safety
instructions (user manual/device), and the operating instructions in the user manual.
Persons who operate and maintain the device must be familiar with this device and with
possible dangers. Also, the applicable accident prevention regulations and national
occupational safety regulations must be observed and complied with. The use of other
components and attachments on the petrol-driven borehole drill leads to the exclusion of
the manufacturer's liability and the resulting damage to property and persons. This
device is only intended for use in open areas (garden) and must be held with both hands
while working.

areas where electrical lines, gas pipes, water pipes, or telephone lines are laid
