Standard Operating Procedures for Auger Drills pre-operation preparation An adequate preparation is key to ensuring safety and efficiency in the process. This procedure includes the following steps:
1. Site Inspection and Utility confirmation. Before starting work, contact your local utility location services to accurately mark the underground pipelines; gas, water, electricity and communication lines. This is a safety requirement procedure is required to eliminate, hazards, serious accidents.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Inspection The operator must wear complete personal protective equipment including safety glasses, heavy gloves, safety boots with steel toes, and long-sleeved work wear. Hearing protection may be necessary based on noise levels of the equipment.
3. Equipment Status Inspection Mechanical Drills: Inspect and check the drill bit and drive unit for any loose bolts, cracks, and/or any other visible damage. Powered Drills (Gas/Electric): Inspect the fuel and oil levels, control switches, and cables. Check that the throttle or power switch is in the "off" position. Hydraulic Drills: Inspect and check the hydraulic hoses for leaks and verify all connections are secured. General Inspection: Confirm the drill bit is sharp and installed securely. Dull bits put more load on the operator and have a potential for kickback.
4. Clear Work Area Remove all debris (rocks, branches, or anything that could trip you) from the work area and maintain a safe distance from any unauthorized personnel.

"I've bought 3 inexpensive drills in 2 years so I was not sure about buying another—until I discovered the tiger drill. Last month, I built a floating bookshelf for my living room: drilled into solid oak for the brackets, and switched to drywall for mounting; and this drill handled both like a champ. The grip felt just right (no hand fatigue after 2 hours!), and the variable speed lets you drill slow for precision. The best part is it's light enough to carry up a ladder, but powerful enough to drill without slipping. This drill made the project from frustrating to fun—I'll recommend it to any DIYer!"
"I'm updating my bathroom and the tiger drill has been a lifesaver. I have used it for everything from drilling into tile to hang a shower caddy, driving screws into cement board to hold the backsplash, and even for assembling the vanity. What surprised me the most? I could use it easily - I'm not a 'tool person' and I could use it. The LED light is a little detail, but it makes a big difference (no more fumbling around in dark corners!), and that I don't strip screws now, thanks to the torque control. I used to dread tasks that involved drilling because I was always worried that I wouldn't get it right - but now, I even actually look forward to them. If you are planing a home reno - buy this drill. "
