INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 6.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
To install:
 Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
WARNING:
Make sure the latch on the top of the battery pack snaps
in place and the battery pack is fully seated and secure in
the tool's battery port before beginning operation. Failure
to securely seat the battery pack could cause the battery
pack to fall out, resulting in serious personal injury.
To remove:
 Depress the latch on the battery pack and remove from
the hole auger.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Remove
battery pack when transporting or carrying to avoid ac-
cidental starting, which may result in serious injury.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manu-
als for your battery pack and charger.

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE)
See Figure 8.
The direction of the auger rotation is reversible and is con-
trolled by a selector located on the right handle control as-
sembly. With the auger held in normal operating position, set
the direction of rotation selector to the bottom for digging in
reverse (kickback protection is enabled in all speeds/direc-
tions). Position the direction of rotation selector switch in the
middle for forward, low speed. Set the direction of rotation
selector in the top position for forward, high speed.
ACTIVE KICKBACK
See Figure 9.
The kickback feature is always enabled. When the product
detects tough soil or debris, the feature is activated to pro-
tect the user.
 Always ensure that the operator has a firm grip and solid
stance when using this tool.
 If kickback occurs, the tool will stop and the blue light will
remain solid. To clear a kickback event, simply release
the trigger.
 Lift the tool from the hole, restart the tool and gently lower
it back into the hole.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
See Figure 9.
When the tool is forced or overloaded, the motor controller
will automatically shut off the tool.
 If an overload protection event occurs, the tool will stop
and a red light will illuminate.
 When the product stops, release the trigger, and lift it
from the hole.
 You may need to find an alternate place to dig if a large
obstruction has caused the machine to stop.
USING THE HOLE AUGER
See Figures 10 - 12.
WARNING!
Maintain a firm grip on the handles with both hands while
using the auger. Keep the auger bit away from your body
and below waist level.
