1.Stabilize the Machine to Mitigate Hazard
In all circumstances, regardless of the terrain or environment, use the excavator trapezpodal bucket should maintain a stance of utmost stability. This precaution serves dual purposes: enhancing operator safety and easing the complexities associated with maneuvering the apparatus.
2.Verify Gradient and Depth, Execute Precision Before Advancing
On one occasion, during trenching tasks, the site overseer relayed instructions and subsequently departed. Following the directives, I excavated several meters in succession. Upon the overseer’s return, it was revealed that the trench was inadequately deep, necessitating re-excavation. Few operators appreciate redundant efforts. For instance, if the target is a slope of 1 meter 1 centimeter, even minor miscalculations can culminate in substantial discrepancies over long distances.
3.Excavate Soil from Both Sides to Avert Collapse
When water pools in the trench or rainfall looms, it becomes imperative to stay vigilant about the threat of collapse. It’s prudent to remove loose earth from the upper trench edges and expand the trench to a “V” configuration. This practice not only reduces collapse risk but also facilitates the excavator’s ability to continue operations even if a collapse transpires, by clearing the fallen material.
