OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued…
 Before digging contact your local utility companies (electrical, telephone, gas,
water, sewer and others) before digging so that they can mark the location of
any underground services in the area. Be sure to ask just how close you can
work to the marks they positioned. Avoid contact with any overhead utility lines
or electrically charged conductors.
 Do not operate the digger when the auger is more than 12” above the ground
level or the driveline may bind causing injury to the operator and damage to the
equipment.
 Do not attempt to manually guide the auger point for location or to manually
push down on the auger while it is in operation. Do not put anything or anyone
on the auger for the purpose of adding weight to the unit. Objects and people
can be thrown or become entangled in the unit.
