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.

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
