ground point. See Figure 3.
6. You are now safely grounded and may begin work.

all grounding connections are maintained.
Additionally, be sure to use static shielding
packaging for transporting ESD sensitive boards.

Maintenance
For optimum electrical performance, surfaces should
be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent and water
solution or an antistatic cleaner. Desco recommends
Reztore™ Surface and Mat Cleaner, item no. 10435.
DO NOT USE CLEANERS WITH SILICONE – they will
build up a coating on the surface which will insulate the
static control properties of the material.
