feel for the shape of the land, and whether or not

placed around the perimeter of the area. When work
is to be performed simultaneously by two or more
persons, care should also be taken to constantly

portable gas drill should be checked to make sure
that it is in proper working order and to make sure
that there are no loose screws or bolts, fuel leaks,
ruptures, dents, or any other problems which might
interfere with safe operation. Be especially careful at
this time to check that there is nothing wrong with
the drills or with the joints by which the drills are
attached to the portable gas drill.
