Grounding the work area To prevent static damage at the work area, use these precautions. ● Cover the work surface with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment. ● Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection. ● Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB laminate. Handle them only at static-free work areas. ● Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment. ● Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces. ● Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and polystyrene foam. ● Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are conductive.

Grounding the work area
To prevent static damage at the work area, use these precautions.
Cover the work surface with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the
work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB laminate. Handle
them only at static-free work areas.
Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment.
Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces.
Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and polystyrene
foam.
Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are conductive.
