Set-Up and Operation

Do not place the Magnetic Locator any-
where electrical contact may occur. This
increases the risk of electrical shock.
Locating equipment uses magnetic fields
that can be distorted and interfered with.
Utilities may be present in a given area.
Follow local guidelines and one call/call
before you dig service procedures. Ex -
pos ing a utility is the only way to verify
its existence, location and depth.
Avoid traffic. Pay close attention to mov-
ing vehicles when using on or near road-
ways. Wear visible clothing or reflector
vests.
Set up and operate the Magnetic Locator
according to these procedures to reduce
the risk of injury from electric shock and
other causes, and prevent tool damage.
