• This machine is not insulated and does not provide protection
from contact or proximity to electrical current.
• It is not recommended to use the machine during lightning. To
prevent injury or machine damage if lightning occurs during oper-
ation, lower the boom and shut down the machine in a safe and
secure location.
• Maintain distance from electrical lines, apparatus, or any ener-
gized (exposed or insulated) parts according to the Minimum

barriers are installed to prevent contact, and the barriers are rated
for the voltage of the line being guarded. These barriers shall not
be part of (or attached to) the machine. The minimum approach
distance shall be reduced to a distance within the designed work-
ing dimensions of the insulating barrier. This determination shall
be made by a qualified person with respect to electrical transmis-
sion and distribution in accordance with the employer, local, or
governmental requirements for work practices near energized
