Lenovo IdeaTab A2109A-F Hardware Maintenance Manual

General safety

Follow these rules below to ensure general safety:

Observe a good housekeeping in the area where the machines are put 

 

during and after the maintenance.
When lifting any heavy object: 

 

1.  Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping.
2.  Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3.  Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt 

to lift it.

4.  Lift it by standing or pushing up with your leg muscles; this action could 

avoid the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any 

object that weighs more than 16 kg (35 lb) or that you think is too heavy 

for you.

Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that 

 

makes the machine unsafe.
Before you start the machine, make sure that other service representatives 

 

and the customer are not in a hazardous position.
Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, keeping them away 

 

from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.
Keep your toolcase away from walk areas so that other people will not trip it 

 

over.
Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of the 

 

machine. Make sure 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 the 

 

nonconductive clip, about 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for 

 

your clothing.

Attention:

 Metal objects are good electrical conductors.

Wear safety glasses when you are hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting 

 

wire, attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions 

that may 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.

 

Fan louvers on the machine help to prevent the overheating of internal 

 

components. Do not obstruct fan louvers or cover them with labels or 

stickers.
