Avoid Power Lines
Approach with caution areas where overhanging telephone or electric power lines are present. Serious injury or death by electrocution can result if the machine or any of its attachments are not kept a safe distance from high-voltage electric power lines.
Maintain a distance of 10 feet (3 meters) between the machine or boom and any power line carrying up to 50,000 Volts or less.
CAUTION:
Power lines carrying more than 50,000 Volts require a safety distance of 10 feet (3 meters) plus 1/2 inch (13 mm) for each additional 1,000 Volts above the 50,000 Volt level.
If state/province, local or job site regulations require even greater safety distances than stated above, adhere strictly to these regulations for your own protection.
