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
n
oticeably affected during the 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 Hole Digger. Use of the Hole
Digger may only aggravate this and any other medically related problem. The torque and kickback
forces generated and/or encountered correspond to the natural laws of physics and are inherent to
the hole digging process. They can not 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 factory 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. The normal hole digging process includes the auger striking buried obstructions (roots,
rocks, etc.) and the resulting torque and kickback forces created. Each potential operator of the Hole
Digger must be made aware of and assume the operational and physical liability described and/or
associated with the hole digging process when utilizing the Hole Digger. 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 Hole Digger. Proper levels of operator experience, skill and
common sense are essential for maximizing the safe and efficient operation of the Hole Digger.
