Weather conditions were cold. The 5 X 14 shaker wouldn't start; breaker was tripping. The employee checked for electrical shorts and continued by opening the electrical box to check the breakers. He removed the wires to attachment them directly to the starter. The wires arced 2 - 3 times burning his face and hands. The shaker caught fire.
