Locating System.
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, 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.
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 transmitter in the drill head accurately and correctly during drilling.
• Comply with state and local governmental regulations (e.g., OSHA).
• Follow all other safety procedures.
The DigiTrak F2 system cannot be used to locate utilities.
Continued exposure to heat, due to frictional heating of the transmitter in the drill head from drilling in
sand, gravel, or rock without sufficient fluid flow around the transmitter, can cause inaccurate infor-
mation to be displayed and may permanently damage the transmitter. For more information see the
Transmitter section of this manual.
The DigiTrak F2 equipment is not explosion-proof and should never be used near
flammable or explosive substances.
