Electric Strike Description
When working near electric cables, remember the following:
• Electricity follows all paths to ground, not just path of least resistance.
• Pipes, hoses, and cables will conduct electricity back to all equipment.
• Low voltage current can injure or kill. Many work-related electrocutions result from contact with less
than 440 volts.
Most electric strikes are not noticeable, but indications of a strike include:
• power outage
• smoke
• explosion
• popping noises
• arcing electricity
If any of these occur, assume an electric strike has occurred.
Underground utilities. Contact can cause death or
serious injury. Locate and verify underground utilities before digging or
drilling.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN: Shut off machine or press remote engine stop button (if equipped).
