Slowly advance machine while maintaining clockwise rotation.

IMPORTANT: For location and description of drilling controls see “Control Console” on page 22.

NOTICE:

Drilling too quickly causes bit to drift off course and may bend drill rod. After bore path is
established, speed may be slightly increased.

If drill rod starts to bend, stop forward movement of unit and back the unit slightly until rod
straightens. Do not drill with bent rod.

If drill rod hits an obstruction, rotate drill string counterclockwise to back up slightly.
