Safety: 

 

- The Lineman Lasher is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do not 
modify or dismantle the lasher.  It has been assembled and inspected and is only 
covered by a warranty in its “as shipped” form.  Any attempt to dismantle or modify 
the lasher will void the warranty and may result in property damage, severe bodily 
harm, or death.  
- Keep hair, loose clothing, and all parts of body away from openings and moving 
components.  Wear gloves and other appropriate safety equipment to avoid pinch 
hazards.   
- Never use a worn, defective or incomplete equipment.  Ensure that all components 
of the setup are able to withstand the maximum pulling loads.  Components not 
rated for the pull force may break and release the stored energy during operation. 
- Do not operate in live environment.  The lasher is composed of metal components, 
and tow ropes connected to the unit can conduct electricity. The weight of the lasher 
can cause cables to sag and could increase proximity to live wires.  Plan work 
accordingly.   
- Do not operate when judgement is impaired (medication, alcohol or otherwise).  
Improper use can result in property damage, injury or death. 
- Be aware of and follow all safety rules applicable to overhead cable installation, 
including, but not limited to, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 
Subpart V - Power Transmission and Distribution.
