Safety and First Aid
Personnel engaged in the installation, operation, maintenance, or servicing of
electronic equipment are exposed to the hazard of high voltage. It is imperative
that all safety regulations and precautions are consistently observed. Knowledge
of first aid procedures is recommended. The following information is presented
as a reference only. The user should ensure that they are trained in proper first
aid and the necessary precautions, which may not be contained in this manual,
are followed.

At all times, avoid placing any part of the body in series between ground and
circuit points, whether power is on or off.

Dangerous voltage may be present in equipment even though power is off.
Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

It is the duty of all personnel to be prepared to give adequate emergency first
aid treatment and thereby prevent avoidable loss of life.

There are three principle degrees of burns, recognizable as follows:

a first-degree burn reddens the skin.

a second-degree burn blisters the skin.

a third degree burn chars the flesh and frequently places the victim in a
state of shock accompanied by respiratory paralysis.

Respiratory paralysis can cause death by suffocation within seconds. It is
imperative that the approved methods of artificial respiration are initiated
immediately and continue until the victim’s breathing is normal.

A muscular spasm of unconsciousness may render the victim unable to break
free of the electric power. If this is the case, turn the power off immediately.
Do not touch the victim or you may share the same predicament!

If the power cannot be turned off immediately, very carefully loop a dry rope,
article of clothing, length of strong cloth or a rolled-up newspaper around the
victim and pull the victim free of the power source. Carefully avoid touching
the victim or clothing.

Once free of the power source, the victim must be placed in a reclining
position and covered with a blanket or newspapers to keep warm. At the first
opportunity, enlist help in summoning a doctor. If a doctor cannot be
summoned, transport the victim to the doctor or a hospital. Be sure the victim
is kept well covered and warm while awaiting professional treatment.
