1-1-4 Product Safety Notices
Some electrical and mechanical parts have special
safety-related characteristics which are often not evident
from visual inspection. The protection they give may not
be obtained by replacing them with components rated for
higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have special safety
characteristics are identified by on schematics and parts
lists. A substitute replacement that does not have the same
safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part
might create shock, fire and/or other hazards. Product
safety is under review continuously and new instructions
are issued whenever appropriate.
1 Precautions
