IMPORTANT:
DO NOT allow anyone to operate Auger without first reading this
•
Operator Manual and becoming familiar with Auger operation.
•
Manufacturer of this Auger has gone to great extremes to provide
owner(s) and/or operator(s) with the finest equipment available for its
intended job function of digging vertical holes in unconsolidated and
specific semi-consolidated earth formations. Yet, the possibility exists
Auger can be utilized in and/or subjected to job applications not perceived
and/or anticipated by manufacturer. Such misuse and/or misapplication of
Auger can lead to possibility of serious damage, injury or even death.
It is responsibility of owner(s) and/or operator(s) to determine Auger is
•
utilized and/or operated within scope of its intended job function.
It is responsibility of owner(s) and/or operator(s) to establish, monitor and
•
constantly upgrade all safety programs and/or practices utilized in and for
operation of Auger. Purpose of such programs is to provide for owner(s')
and/or operator(s') safety. Operators must be instructed to recognize and
avoid unsafe conditions associated with their work (29 CFR 1926.21
(b)(2)) and/or applicable updated revisions.
It is responsibility of owner(s) and/or operator(s) to determine no
•
modifications and/or alterations have been made to Auger. Modifications
and/or alterations can lead to possibility of serious damage, injury or even
death. It is responsibility of owner(s) and/or operator(s) to make this
Operator Manual available for consultation during all phases of operation.
Refer to OSHA 2207 and/or applicable updated revisions which contains
•
all OSHA job safety, health rules and regulations (1926 and 1910)
covering construction.
CAUTION
The concept of portable, one and two man operated, hole digging equipment
has been successfully utilized for over forty years as a practical solution to
many types of hole digging job requirements. The basic concept is proven and
well accepted within the associated marketplaces as an alternative method to
manual labor and/or larger, mounted earth drilling machinery.
Use of an Auger requires strenuous work activity. This type of work activity can
be considered to be greater in magnitude than that experienced with the use of
many other types of both light construction and lawn and garden related
equipment. This type of work activity should only be attempted by operators of
adequate physical size and stature, mental awareness, and physical strength
and condition.
Each operator is required to supply a resultant force that counteracts/balances
and/or resists the natural torque and kickback forces generated during the hole
digging process. The body parts most noticeably affected during the hole
digging process are the arms, hands, wrists, shoulders, lower back and legs.
The hole digging process can also produce excessive stress/strain directly to
the back muscles, spinal vertebrae and many other body parts. Back related
pain can be a side effect of the hole digging process. An operator with a
chronic back related problem or a history of back and/or other medically related
problems should not attempt to utilize the Auger. Use of the Auger may only
aggravate this and any other medically related problem.
The torque and kickback forces generated and/or encountered correspond to
natural laws of physics and are inherent to the hole digging process. They
cannot be changed or totally eliminated with portable one and two man
operated, hole digging equipment of this design. Proper operating positions and
techniques, as outlined in this manual, can be successfully utilized to minimize
the effects of the torque and kickback forces upon the human body.
Because of the diverse type of prevailing digging conditions, operator
experience levels and operator physical characteristics, no warranty,
guarantee, representation and/or liability is made by the manufacturer as to the
absolute correctness or sufficiency of any operational procedure, operational
position and/or technique. There is no absolute guarantee that an operator of
any given experience level, physical size and/or physical condition will be
immune to the possibility of and/or probable physical side effects of the normal
hole digging process.
Each potential operator of the Auger must be made aware of and assume the
operational and physical liability described and/or associated with the hole
digging process when utilizing the Auger. Each potential operator not willing
to assume the operational and physical liability described and/or
associated with the hole digging process should not operate the Auger.
Proper levels of operator experience, skill and common sense are essential for
maximizing the safe and efficient operation of the Auger.
