Abstract: An electric utility employee was using a Milwaukee Sawzall to cut two 150-millimeter-diameter conduits at the bottom of a trench. A second employee was helping him. The blade on the saw was too long; and, as it cut through the two empty conduits, its tip also penetrated a third conduit that was carrying a 34.5-kilovolt cable. This caused an electrical fault, and the ensuing electric arc caused flash burns to both employees.
