If you''re moving the auger more than a few feet to the next hole, shut off the engine and restart it again with the auger resting in the next pilot hole. When you''re not using the auger, just shut it off and leave it in one of the holes, or rest it on the ground with the spark plug facing up to prevent fouling, or sideways if fuel leaks from the gas cap.For deeper holes requiring the extension rod (Photos 5 and 6), dig all the holes first with the unextended auger. Never start holes with the extension rod in place. It''s much harder to hoist a 4-ft. long auger filled with earth. After the holes are dug to 36 in., attach the extension rod and dig the remaining depths all at once. At times, I''ve found it easier to simply dig the remaining few inches by hand rather than use the extension rod, especially if fatigue is setting in. Above all, clear the hole frequently. It can be a gut-busting experience to lift an auger overfilled with earth free of the hole, or worse, free a stuck auger.

However, many industry pundits claim these gizmos are nigh-on revolutionary, as claims fly around about how time at the ironing board can be slashed by 50% a week when using one. All agree, too, that the benefits of steam generators soon dispel the issue of cost to a customer who, a few loads of ironing down the line, will wonder how they coped in those darker pre-generator days; just as dishwasher owners can''t imagine how they ever managed without a dishwasher."Cost immediately dismisses them [steam generators] from consideration for most buyers but those who see or get the chance to use a generator tend to put one at the top of their buying list, so the potential is enormous," says Alan Poulain, director of small appliance sales at BSH,

Roberts explained that the aluminum enclosure allows for better sound absorption and durability, in addition to decreasing the unit''s weight. The Magnum units are built to withstand the rough handling common at many construction sites, according to Roberts. The corrosion-resistant construction includes black stainless steel pad lockable latches, sheet metal components that are put through a five-stage pretreatment process before polyester powder coating is baked on and skids and trailer parts that are pretreated with a phosphate solution prior to applying the powder coating.
