cause electrocution, fire, or explosion. Make resistance checks part of your
periodic maintenance program. If you receive even a slight electrical shock
or notice static sparking or arcing, shut down all electrical or electrostatic
equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until the problem has
been identified and corrected.
Grounding inside and around the booth openings must comply with
