1) Remove as much loose soil from the hole as
possible with the auger rotating at an intermediate
speed. STOP the engine and disconnect the spark
plug wire to prevent accidental engine starting. Close
the gasoline tank breather vent (if so equipped).
2) Lift the auger extension and the Hole Digger up far
enough out of the hole so that the auger extension is
clear. Block the remaining auger with an auger fork to
prevent it from falling back into the hole. Disconnect
the Hole Digger from the auger extension. Remove the
auger extension and auger from the hole. FIGURE 11.

3) Reconnect the engine spark plug wire.
THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED FOR THE USE OF
THE NONFLIGHTED AUGER EXTENSION OFFERS
THE MOST ADAPTABLE METHOD OF EXTENDING
THE DIGGING DEPTH FOR THE WIDEST CROSS
SECTION OF PROBABLE OPERATORS. THIS
PROCEDURE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT
ANTICIPATED OPERATOR EXPERIENCE, SKILL
AND COMMON SENSE. THE MANUFACTURER IS
AWARE THAT NOT ALL OPERATORS WILL ELECT
TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE. THE
MANUFACTURER HAS NO CONTROL OVER
INDIVIDUAL OPERATION PROCEDURES AND/OR
DECISIONS. MANY OPERATORS MAY ELECT TO
UTILIZE THE NONFLIGHTED AUGER EXTENSION
CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE AUGER AND
BYPASS THE LONGER, MORE TIME CONSUMING
PROCEDURE OUTLINED ABOVE. INDIVIDUAL
OPERATORS MAY ELECT TO CHOOSE OTHER
PROCEDURES IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE THE
ASSOCIATED PRODUCTION COSTS. THE
RESULTING MACHINE CONFIGURATIONS CAN
PLACE THE HANDLE ALMOST LEVEL WITH (OR
EVEN ABOVE) THE SHOULDERS OF THE
OPERATOR. AT THIS HEIGHT LEVEL, THE HOLE
DIGGER IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AGAINST
POSSIBLE KICKBACK FORCES. THIS IS NOT A
MANUFACTURER APPROVED PROCEDURE
BECAUSE IT REQUIRES EACH POTENTIAL
OPERATOR TO HAVE EXCEPTIONAL HEIGHT AND
EXPERT WORK EXPERIENCE, SKILL AND
COMMON SENSE. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS
STILL NO REAL ASSURANCE THAT EACH AND
EVERY OPERATOR WITH EXCEPTIONAL HEIGHT
AND EXPERIENCE, SKILL AND COMMON SENSE
CAN ALWAYS EXERCISE ADEQUATE CONTROL
OF THE HOLE DIGGER TO GUARANTEE
PERSONAL SAFETY. PERSONAL SAFETY CAN
NEVER BE GUARANTEED FOR ANY GIVEN
AND/OR SPECIFIC JOB APPLICATION FOR ANY
TYPE OF POWERED EQUIPMENT. THE ACCEPTED
PROCEDURE, AS OUTLINED IN THIS OPERATOR'S
MANUAL, IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. THE
MANUFACTURER CAN NOT CONDONE AND/OR
APPROVE ANY OTHER PROCEDURE.
