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.
To help prevent injury:
• Classify jobsite as electric if jobsite classification is in question or if the possibility of unmarked
electric utilities exists.
• Cutting high voltage cable can cause electrocution. Expose lines by hand before digging.
