- If the auger bit hits a stone, hard ground etc., the rotation may stop immediately and give a
hard torque reaction.
- It is therefore required that the operator has a firm grip on both handles during operation in
order to compensate for a sudden torque reaction.
- Remove any jammed debris from the auger bit and examine for any damage before
re c ommencing work.
