damage.
I.
Ensure that all electrical power supplies are turned OFF and disconnected
before working on any of the equipment.

Never leave the equipment in a potentially dangerous state.
III.
Use only the correct tools for the task in hand.
IV.
When working on the equipment, remove any personal jewellery that may be
conductive, or clothing that may become entangled with mechanical parts.

bypassed by personnel other than authorised staff who are qualified to carry out prescribed
actions within specified Warnings.
