7.2.1 Using the auger
Before starting to use the auger:
Plan the drilling operation in advance. Make sure that it is safe to dig at the area. Explore the operating area
and find out about the possibility of having any electric cables, water mains, gas pipes, communications cable
or similar buried in the ground before starting to drill.
Consult local authorities, electric, water, and gas companies, and other relevant sources before starting to use
the equipment. Your area may also have a specific hotline or helpdesk available, or a special permit may be
required. If uncertain in any way, seek for more information before starting digging.
Operate the auger only on well lit areas. If extra caution is required to avoid hitting known dangerous or fragile
materials in the ground, have another person nearby to spot possible buried items.
WARNING
Hitting an obstacle may cause a serious accident - Make sure it is safe to dig into
the ground.
If in doubt about possible obstacles, seek professional advice and also
consider using specialized detection equipment. You may be required by law to contact
your local authorities before using an auger to make sure that there are no hidden and
potentially dangerous obstacles in the ground. Never use the auger if you are unsure
about possible hazardous obstacles.
