40-4 Preparation D7x11 Series II Navigator Directional Drill
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Operating the machine will require you to wear protective equipment. Always wear a hard hat, wraparound eye
protection or goggles, and electrically insulated boots. If working near traffic, you may need to wear reflective
clothing.
The operator is not required to wear electrically insulated gloves while seated on this self-contained directional
drilling machine. However, the operator must always wear electrically insulated boots to provide protection
against electrical shock in case of inadvertently stepping off the machine during an electrical strike.
Hearing protection must be worn by machine operator. Other crew members may need to wear hearing
protection when working close to the machine and/or support equipment.
If a strike occurs while you are touching the ground, you could be electrocuted when your body becomes a direct
current path to the ground. Keep feet on the foot platform.
Anyone assisting the operator during the bore must wear electrically insulated gloves and boots.
WARNING: Wear personal protective equipment. To reduce the risk of being caught
and entangled in moving components, wear close-fitting clothing and confine long hair.
Avoid jewelry, such as rings, wristwatches, necklaces, or bracelets.
DANGER: Electric shock can kill.
If strike occurs, do not step down. Keep feet on platform while operating.
