• Inspect the area to be drilled before operation. Remove objects which can be thrown or be-
come entangled.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the drilling bit when operating the unit.

above ground. The auger bit may bind and cause injury to the operator and damage to the
equipment.
• While the auger bit is rotating, DO NOT attempt to manually guide the auger to a location.
UNDERGROUND HAZARDS
It is the responsibility of the operator to know where buried power, gas, telephone, and other utili-
ties are in the work area. This may lead to shock or an explosion. Have the work area marked for
