WARNING: To avoid injury make sure there are no buried electrical cables in the surrounding area where you will
lay your Boundary Wire. Electric power lines, natural gas pipelines, communications lines and other utility services,
if damaged, can create a hazard that could endanger you and your property. Call your local utility company before
you dig to identify whether you have underground lines in the area where you want to lay your Boundary Wire. If
there are utility lines in the area, do not install this product and seek assistance from a trained electrician.
