electrical power lines and DOES NOT provide
protection from contact with or close proximity
to any electrically charged conductor. Operator
must maintain safe clearances at all times (10
feet/3.05 meters minimum) and always allow for
platform movement such as wind-induced sway.
Always contact the power company before
performing work near power lines. Assume every
power line is live. Remember, power lines can be
blown by the wind. Refer to Table 1-1 for
minimum safe approach distances between the
machine and electrical power lines.
