some of its constituents are known to cause cancer, birth defects and other illnesses.
1) General
Equipment that supplies electrical power can cause serious injury or death, damage to other equipment or
property. The operator must strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions. Safe
practices have been developed from past experience in the use of power source equipment. While
certain practices below apply only to electrically powered equipment, other practices apply to engine-
driven equipment, and some practices to both.
2) Shock Prevention
Bare conductors, terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically live equipment can fatally
shock a person. Have a certified electrician verify that the equipment is adequately grounded and learn
what terminals and parts are electrically
HOT
. Avoid hot spots on machine. Use proper safety clothing,
procedures and test equipment.
The electrical resistance of the body is decreased when wet, permitting dangerous currents to flow
through it. When inspecting or servicing the equipment, do not work in damp areas. Stand on a dry
rubber mat or dry wood, and use insulating gloves when dampness or sweat cannot be avoided. Keep
clothing dry, and never work alone.
a)
Output Cables and Terminals
Inspect cables frequently for damage to the insulation and the connectors. Replace or repair
cracked or worn cables immediately. Do not overload cables. Do not touch output terminal while
equipment is energized.
