SAFETY SUMMARY
This manual contains safety information which the user must follow to ensure safe operation of this instrument.
WARNING information is intended to protect the operator; CAUTION information is intended to protect the instrument.
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this
instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument.
Warning statements precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout this manual. The instructions contained in
the warnings must be followed. The following warning statements are found in this manual.
WARNING
Use a proper power source. This instrument is designed to operate from a power source with its neutral
at or near ground potential with a separate safety-earth conductor. It is not intended for operation from
two phases of a multi-phase system, or across the legs of a single-phase, three-wire system.
WARNING
Avoid live circuits. Dangerous voltages exist at several points throughout this instrument. When the
instrument is operated with the cover removed, do not touch exposed connections or components. Some
transistors have voltages present on their cases. Disconnect power before cleaning the instrument or
replacing parts.
WARNING
Avoid contact with chemicals. Handle silicone grease with care. Avoid getting silicon-in grease in
eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
WARNING
Adequate ventilation should be provided while using TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE. Prolonged
breathing of vapor should be avoided. The solvent should not be used near heat or open flames; the
products of decomposition are toxic and irritating. Since TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE dissolves
natural oils, prolonged contact wit h skin should be avoided. When necessary,-use gloves which the
solvent cannot penetrate. If the solvent is taken internally, consult a-physician immediately.
WARNING
Compressed air is dangerous and can cause serious bodily harm if protective means or methods are not
observed to prevent a chip or particle (of whatever size) from being blown into the eyes or unbroken skin
of the operator or other personnel. Compressed air shall not be used for cleaning purposes except where
reduced to less than 30 p.s.i.f. and then only with effective chip guarding and personnel protective
equipment. Do not use compressed air to dry parts when Trichlorotrifloroethane has been used.
CAUTION
Avoid power surge damage. Do not remove or install plug-in unit while power is on as damage may
occur to circuitry.
