Safety
“Safety is of vital concern
to us and must always be the primary focus of the operator.”
Machine operators must become familiar with all instructions and
warnings in owner's/operator’s manual and
all safety information on the machine’s warning labels.
Each of our hydraulic controls use spring-back centering to stop the
action immediately whenever the control lever is
released.
Safety guards are provided to help protect
the operator from touching moving or dangerous parts of the machine
during operation, yet still allow effective operation. Never operate the
machine without all safety guards in place. Keep helpers and bystanders
well away from the machine during operation: both pilot-hole digging and
post driving.
Do not use the Digger if either the auger or cutter is worn or
damaged. Use only the auger retention pin supplied; never substitute
another bolt or pin that prevents the safety collar from completely
covering the pin.
Operators should wear protective eyewear, headgear, and hearing
protection. |
