❏
Before applying power, look for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded
power extension cables, or missing safety grounds and locate the emergency power
switch for the room in which you are working.
❏
Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that might be hazardous
to your eyes.
❏
Keep tools away from walk areas where you and others could fall over them.
❏
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

Warning – Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove
jewelry including rings, necklaces, and watches. Metal objects will heat up when
connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object
to the terminals.
If an electrical accident occurs, turn off the emergency power switch for the room in
which you are working, cautiously unplug the system’s power, and get medical
assistance for any injured person.
