Your safety is at stake.
Jobsite hazards could cause death or serious injuries.
To help avoid injury:
• Comply with all utility notification regulations before digging or drilling.
• Set up warning barriers and keep people away from machine and jobsite.
• Do not operate drilling attachment if bore path is less than 10’ (3 m) from any underground hazard.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that approach trench is:
• deep enough for pipe to lay flat and enter
soil at correct angle;
• at least 20’ (6 m) long;
• at least 4” (10 cm) wide.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that target trench is:
• deep enough for drill bit to enter slightly above the trench floor;
• long enough to allow for drift of unguided drill string. Accuracy of bore decreases with length and
varies with soil conditions.
