In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately •
shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not pos-
sible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting
implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the
live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and
get immediate medical help.
Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry •
can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get
caught in moving components causing injury.
The enclosure door on this unit is grounded to the chassis with •
a wire. The grounding wire must be reconnected when the door
is replaced to reduce the risk of electric shock.

with its use. If there are any questions pertaining to fire extin-
guishers, consult the local fire department.
