| SAFETY
INFORMATION: The Pro Gardening Auger System is a tool
designed to make work easier for the user. But like any tool
or mechanical device, it should be used in a safe and responsible
manner. As with any rotating or moving tool, loose clothing
should not be worn while the Auger is in operation. It is important
that the user operate the Auger in a manner so as to minimize
the flinging or throwing of debris. The user, and anyone else
should wear safety glasses in the work area. The user should
always have a good grasp of the drill and be mindful that the
drill can develop torque action when working in compacted or
undisturbed soils, clay, rocky areas, or among tree roots. We
strongly recommend that the user always use two hands when operating
the Auger and never start the drill with the Auger lodged or
dug into heavy material due to high initial torque action. Always
use the locking pin when using the extension. |

| SEVEN
TIPS FOR USING THE AUGER IN THE SOIL |
| |
| 1.Once
the auger is secured to the drill, plug the drill into the power
source. |
| 2.
To make the auger dig, the drill control lever must be in the
forward rotation. |
| 3.
Begin the process at a low speed to confirm the correct operation
of the drill and the forward rotation. Repeat this step several
times to familiarize yourself with the power of the auger. |
| 4.
Place the auger tip on the dirt, keeping the auger in an upright
position. |
| 5.
At first, gently squeeze the drill trigger to begin the hole. |
| 6.To
dig in hard soil such as clay use a tapping motion. Start with
light downward pressure. If downward pressure is increased,
be aware and mindful that the torque will also increase. Find
a comfortable pressure range in which to work. |
| 7.Let
the drill do the work for you. Know its capabilities and adjust
your work action and speed so as not to overload the drill. |

| A
NOTE FROM THE MANUFACTURER |
| |
| We
are able to offer a remarkable guarantee because this is a quality
product that actually works. Occasionally, our customers have
run into problems that are traced back to the drill, or, heaven
forbid, operator error. Here are a couple of things to watch
for. |
| |
| 1.If
the end of the auger or extension slips from the chuck, there
can be several causes. If you are using a 1/2" drill or
larger, check that the jaws of the chuck are set on the flat
surface of the hexed head, rather that on the corners. Sometimes,
too, after much use, a drill chuck just loses its ability to
maintain its grip, and loosens of its own accord. To see if
this is the case, we suggest you try the auger on another drill. |
| 2.
Drills are air-cooled, and are meant to be run at a consistent
speed when engaged in any chore. Slowing or stopping the motion
of the drill while the auger is immersed in the soil can cause
damage to your drill. |
| 3.
If your cordless drill is not giving you the power you want,
try using a corded drill. A good corded drill will tend to deliver
more power. More power from your drill, whether corded or cordless,
will increase the auger's efficiency, especially in harder soil
and clay. |
