General Safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

•Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.

•Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.

•Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.

•Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.

•Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.

•Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.

•Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

•After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.

•Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.
