Where is the electric fence timer at the diamond mines on Nabooti island?

It is inside the mine at the far right. You will need a hardhat to enter the mine, and you can only get one by beating the Safari. Click on the knob-like thing with an arrow on it. This will turn off the power but only for a few seconds. You will have to run left, up the ore pile, across the conveyor belt to the right, then down to the hole in the fence.


How do you get past the electric fence on nabooti island?

In the Diamond mines, you will need a hard hat to reach the timer that temporarily turns off the power to the electric fence. (You get the hard hat by completing the Safari.) There is a hole in the fence at the far upper right, across the conveyor belt. Enter the mine and press the button that turns the timer fully in one direction. Before the power comes back on, you have to reach the hole in the fence. Run left, up the ore pile, jump onto the conveyor belt, then go right and through the gap to reach the barrel by the fence.

What are some dangers in mining coal?

Dangers can include fire/explosion, cave-ins of underground mines, flooding, inhaled rock and coal dust, noise from mining equipment, electric injuries (most underground equipment is electrically driven, and having a chunk of the rock ceiling fall on you. Being struck by equipment is a hazard, and when working narrow seam coal, developing "Miner's knee" for working on your knees- not enough room to stand up. I inspect coal mines, and these are some of the areas I look for.
