undue stress from slings or fall lines . Lifting the pole-units by the live parts will damage the
switch . Rough handling may cause damage to the blades, contacts, and/or interrupters .
Failure to lift the pole-units properly can result in switch damage, causing improper
operation, arcing, or electrical shock .
