Drilling Near Utility Lines
Important:
Before operating in an area with high-voltage lines or cables, contact a "One-Call System
Directory" service. In the USA, call 811 or your local utility company. If you do not know your local
utility company's phone number, call the national number (USA and Canada only) at 1-888-258-0808. In
Australia, call 1100 for the nationwide marking service. Also, contact any utility companies that are not
participants of the "One-Call System Directory" service.
Drilling Danger Zone
The danger zone is the area within and around the
machine where a person is exposed to the risk of
injury.
The danger zone defines the amount of space needed
for safe drilling operation, including movement of the
carriage.
Use the following illustration to ensure that bystanders
do not enter the danger zone while you are drilling.
