To protect yourself, never prune trees near electric lines

记住:
- It is required by law that any tree pruning within 10 feet of power lines be performed by a line-clearance qualified arborist.
- If you touch an electric line or an object such as a tool, ladder or tree branch that’s touching an electric line, it can cause a severe shock or death.
