Contacting utility lines may cause severe personal injury or death. 2. Check for landscape fabric before drilling. Landscape fabric may get pulled into the Bit and also pull the operator into the Bit. Before drilling, cut a hole in the landscape fabric sufficiently larger than the diameter of the Auger to prevent contact or entanglement with the fabric. 3.
