Avoid Power Lines

CAUTION: Power lines carrying more than 50 000 volts require a safety distance of 10 ft (3 m) plus 1/2 in (13 mm) for each additional 1000 volts above the 50 000 volt level.

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 ft (3 m) between the machine, boom, stick, and any power line carrying up to 50 000 volts or less.

If state/province, local, or job site regulations require even greater safety distances than stated above, adhere strictly to these regulations for personal protection.
