Ground Hog - Model 1M5C - Earthdrill - Manual

It is your responsibility as the operator of this piece of equipment to know what specific requirements, precautions and work hazards exist. You must read, understand and follow all of the information contained in this operator’s manual and inform any person who might be assisting you. The 1M5C one-man earth drill is a unique tool. By separating the engine from the auger with the use of a drive shaft, the digging torque or “kick back” normally associated with hand operated earth drills is greatly reduced, making for a more comfortable tool to use. However, it is a tool that can cause injury to the operator or bystanders if it is not properly maintained or if it is misused. You must be sure that you, as the operator, understand the use of the tool and the risks involved.
