Gasoline earth auger without auger bit (also GD-001) GGD-001

The GIGANT earth drill bores holes in soil and ice up to 80 cm deep.

• The 52 cc two-stroke engine is unusually dependable, working efficiently on modest fuel consumption over a long service life.
• The 1.7 kW output allows augers up to 200 mm in diameter.
• The engine is air-cooled, so it can run for long periods without overheating.

The earth drill is intended for boring wells and ice holes, and for holes to plant trees or set fence posts. The tool runs on a 25:1 mixture of 92-octane gasoline and two-stroke oil.

Before you start:

• Assessing the ground: Determine the soil type and density. Soft soil - full power, hard soil - drill with care. Pay particular attention to frozen ground and hard inclusions.
• Choosing the tooling: Match the auger to the soil type (soft, hard, stony) and choose the extension according to the depth required and the rigidity needed.
• Weather conditions: Allow for the effect of low temperatures and high humidity.

Drilling:

• Starting out: Start at low speed, feeding the auger in smoothly. If the drive is overloaded, reduce the feed pressure or increase the speed.
• Drilling hard ground: Work in short passes and clear the auger as you go. If you hit an obstruction, change the drilling angle or move to another spot. Use a tapping technique and loosen the ground first if necessary.
• Using an extension: Make sure the extension is securely fastened. Drill in stages and do not let the string go off axis. Check the welds regularly.
• Withdrawing the auger: Pull the auger out smoothly. If it jams, reverse the rotation or loosen the ground around it.

Safety:

• Make sure there are no underground utilities in the drilling area.
• Wear safety goggles and gloves.
• Avoid binding and jamming during operation.
• Service the equipment regularly.
• Do not exceed the recommended drilling depth.
• Clean and lubricate the equipment after use.
• Store in a dry place.
