Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.

Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

vRegularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.

vDo not use worn or broken tools and testers.

vNever assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off.

vAlways look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.

vDo not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.

vDo not service the following parts with the power on when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine:

Power supply units

Pumps

Blowers and fans

Motor generators

and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.)

vIf an electrical accident occurs:

Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

Switch off power.

Send another person to get medical aid.

Safety Inspection Guide

The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products.
