Never Undercut a High Bank
The edges could collapse or a land slide could occur causing
serious injury or death.
Dig with Caution
Accidental severing of underground cables or gas lines may
cause an explosion and/or fire, possibly resulting in serious
injury or death.
Before digging check the location of cables, gas lines, and
water lines.
Keep the minimum distance required, by law, from cables,
gas lines, and water lines.
If a fiber optic cable should be accidentally severed, do
not look into the end. Doing so may result in serious eye
injury.
Contact your local "diggers hot line" if available in your
area , and/or the utility companies directly.
Have them mark all underground utilities.
Operate with Caution
If the front attachment or any other part of the machine hits
against an overhead obstacle, such as a bridge, both the
machine and the overhead obstacle will be damaged, and
personal injury may result as well.
Take care to avoid hitting overhead obstacles with the
boom or arm.
