System.
1 Serious injury and death can result if underground drilling equipment makes contact
with an underground utility such as a high-voltage electrical cable or a natural gas
line.
 Substantial property damage and liability can result if underground drilling equipment
makes contact with an underground utility such as a telephone, cable TV, fiber-optic,
water, or sewer line.
Work slowdowns and cost overruns can occur if drilling operators do not use the
drilling or locating equipment correctly to obtain proper performance.
¾ Directional drilling operators MUST at all times:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Understand the safe and proper operation of drilling and locating equipment, including the
use of ground mats and proper grounding procedures.
Ensure that all underground utilities have been located, exposed, and marked accurately
prior to drilling.
Wear protective safety clothing such as dielectric boots, gloves, hard-hats, high-visibility
vests and safety glasses.
Locate and track the drill head accurately and correctly during drilling.
Comply with state and local governmental regulations (e.g., OSHA).
Follow all other safety procedures.
¾ The DigiTrak Eclipse system cannot be used to locate utilities.
¾ Continued exposure to heat, due to frictional heating of the drill head, can cause inaccurate
information to be displayed and may permanently damage the transmitter.
0 The DigiTrak Eclipse equipment is not explosion-proof and should never be used
near flammable or explosive substances.
