Perform operations with your right hand

In order to reduce the risk of electric current flowing through the important organs of your body even in the event of electric shock, 
be sure to operate high voltage power supplies with only your right hand while keeping your left hand away from the high voltage 
power supply and all other equipment.

5

Turn off the power before touching equipment

Be sure to turn off the power before touching any high voltage areas. Or, make sure that the power has already been turned off. 
There are capacitors in the output area, which makes it extremely dangerous to touch that area immediately after the power has 
been turned off. Pay careful attention to the electric charge in these capacitors while connecting them all to ground to discharge 
the electricity.

Pay attention to electric charge in cables

The energy that is charged in output shielded cables is discharged by grounding. However, when the ground is disconnected, in 
some cases the charge might not have been completely discharged, or the charge might be recovered after some time has passed. 
Be sure to completely remove all charge from output cables before touching them.

Short the output to ground

7

Disconnect the input line before touching

If you have to touch the inside of the power supply for some reason, follow the instruction manual and turn off the power before 
disconnecting the input line. And, all the capacitors as well as devices that generated high voltage must be connected to the earth. 
In case there is no procedure described in the instruction manual, never remove the cover and do not touch the inside of the power supply. 

8

Instruct others to pay careful attention

In order to prevent people from entering hazardous areas or inadvertently coming into contact with high-voltage areas, clearly mark 
hazardous areas and instruct others to pay careful attention to the dangers of high voltage. 
In addition, when high voltage is generated, issue a warning with a warning lamp or an audible alarm.
