Electric Strike System
Any time you drill in an electric jobsite, electric strike system must be properly set up, tested, and used.
You must wear protective boots and gloves meeting the following standards:
• Boots must have high tops and meet the electric hazard protection requirements of ASTM F2413 or
ASTM F1117 when tested at 14,000 volts. Tuck legs of pants completely inside boots.
• Gloves must have 17,000 AC maximum use voltage, according to ASTM specification D120.
If working around higher voltage, use gloves and boots with appropriately higher ratings.
Read and follow “Electric Jobsite Precautions” on page 65. Review safety procedures before each job.
FCC Statement
The Electric Strike System has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, can cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area could cause harmful interference which the user will be required to correct at his own
expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved in writing by The Charles Machine Works, Inc. may void
the user's authority to operate this equipment.
NOTICE: The strike system does not prevent electric strikes or detect strikes before they occur. If
alarms are activated, a strike has already occurred and equipment is electrified.
