4. Align Drill to Marked Borepath
With the transit positioned at least 10 ft (3 m) ahead of the drill, position the drill so that the transit sights
onto the center point of the drive chuck and/or centerline of the boom. Anchor the drill, and then use the
transit to confirm that the drill is still aligned to the marked borepath; if not, adjust for proper alignment.

5. Position & Align Non-mag Tooling
Assembly onto Marked Borepath
With the transit still in position but rotated 180°,
place the tooling assembly at least 30 ft (9 m) in
front of the drill, onto the marked borepath so that
it is pointing in the direction of drilling with the tool
or bent sub oriented to 0° (12 o’clock), as shown
in the following photo and sketch. Sight the transit
onto the string line and carefully align the non-
mag assembly to the marked borepath.
Be sure there are no large metallic objects, in-
cluding the drill, within 30 ft (9 m) of the non-mag
assembly.
