1.4 Caution and warning statements
Caution It's used to indicate the correct operation and maintenance, in order to prevent damage or
destruction of equipment or other property. Warning of danger Used to indicate the potential hazard that
requires correct procedures or practices in order to avoid personal injury.
1.5 Impaired safety protection
Whenever it is likely that safe operation is impaired, the apparatus must be in-operative and secured against
unintended operation. The appropriate servicing staff authority must be informed.
For instance, the safety is likely to be impaired if the equipment fails to perform the prescribed
measurements, or shows visible damages.
1.6 Electrostatic sensitive devices
In case of electrostatic sensitive devices ( for instance all ICs and many other semiconductor devices belong
to this class) it is essential to use a right protection to reduce the risk of personal injury. Careless handling,
during repair, may imply life danger. When repairing, make sure that you are connected with the same
potential as the ground of the equipment by means of the right devices, i.e. a GIRDLE (a wrist wrap with
resistance) and a WINDING CORD to be connected to the girdle and to the relevant socket placed on the
equipment.
You must also keep components and tools at this potential.
1.7 Electrolytic Capacitors
Non-solid electrolytic capacitors must not contain chemicals, which may be regarded as hazardous, if
incorrectly handled. Caution is necessary, should the outer case be fractured.
1.8 Electric shock
In case of electric shock it is recommended not to touch the person before breaking the circuit by means of
the power supply switch; should it be not possible to break the circuit power supply it would be advisable to
try to rescue the person by means of some insulating materials: e.g. a wood stick, a nylon cord or a suitable
service made of plastics, etc.
NEVER TOUCH ELECTROCUTED PEOPLE WITH YOUR HAND AS LONG AS THEIR BODIES ARE
SUBJECTED TO VOLTAGE, OTHERWISE YOU TOO WOULD GET ELECTOCUTED.
Call the doctor and then immediately perform the artificial respiration as described here below:
