Prepare Jobsite

Mark Bore Path

Mark your planned bore path and all located utility lines with flags or paint.

Prepare Entry Point

For bore to be successful, first pipe must be straight as
it enters the ground.

To help ensure that the first pipe does not bend, dig a
small starting hole so that the first pipe is drilled into a
vertical surface.

To prevent bending or straining pipe, position drilling
unit for straight entry.

Jobsite hazards could cause death or serious injury. Use

correct equipment and work methods. Use and maintain proper safety
equipment.

NOTICE:

If jobsite classification is in question or if the possibility of unmarked electric utilities exists, classify
jobsite as electric.

Cutting high voltage cable can cause electrocution. Expose lines by hand before digging.

All vegetation near operator’s station must be removed. Contact with trees, shrubs, or weeds during
electrical strike could result in electrocution.
