4. Align Drill to Marked Bore Path
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 bore path; if not, adjust for proper alignment.

5. Position & Align Non-mag
Tooling Assembly onto
Marked Bore Path
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 bore path 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
photo on the right and the SST Job Site Setup
diagram below. Sight the transit onto the string line
(highlighted by yellow dashed line in photo) and
carefully align the non-mag assembly to the marked
bore path.
Be sure there are no large metallic objects, in-
cluding the drill, within 30 ft (9 m) of the non-mag
assembly.
