Safety information - When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester. - Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames. Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages. v Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition. v Do not use worn or broken tools and testers. v Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered off. v Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds. v Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage. v Do not service the following parts with the power on when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine: - Power supply units - Pumps - Blowers and fans - Motor generators and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.) v If an electrical accident occurs: - Use caution; do not become a victim yourself. - Switch off power. - Send another person to get medical aid. Safety inspection guide The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions. As each machine was designed and built, required safety items were installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items. You should use good judgment to identify potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by this inspection guide. Introduction 19

accessories
for
that
tester.
Stand
on
suitable
rubber
mats
(obtained
locally,
if
necessary)
to
insulate
you
from
grounds
such
as
metal
floor
strips
and
machine
frames.
Observe
the
special
safety
precautions
when
you
work
with

these
instructions
are
in
the
safety
sections
of
maintenance
information.
Use
extreme
care
when
measuring
high
voltages.
v
Regularly
inspect
and
maintain
your
electrical
hand
tools
for
safe
operational
condition.
v
Do
not
use
worn
or
broken
tools
and
testers.
v
Never
assume
that
power
has
been
disconnected
from
a
circuit.
First,
check
that
it
has
been
powered
off.
v
Always
look
carefully
for
possible
hazards
in
your
work
area.
Examples
of
these
hazards
are
moist
floors,
nongrounded
power
extension
cables,
power
surges,
and
missing
safety
grounds.
v
Do
not
touch
live
electrical
circuits
with
the
reflective
surface
of
a
plastic
dental
mirror.
The
surface
is

personal
injury
and
machine
damage.
v
Do
not
service
the
following
parts
with
the
power
on
when
they
are
removed
from
their
normal
operating
places
in
a
machine:
Power
supply
units
Pumps
Blowers
and
fans
Motor
generators
and
similar
units.
(This
practice
ensures
correct
grounding
of
the
units.)
v
If
an
electrical
accident
occurs:
Use
caution;
do
not
become
a
victim
yourself.
Switch
off
power.
Send
another
person
to
get
medical
aid.
Safety

guide
The
purpose
of
this
inspection
guide
is
to
assist
you
in
identifying
potentially
unsafe
conditions.
As
each
machine
was
designed
and
built,
required
safety
items
were
installed
to
protect
users
and
service
personnel
from
injury.
This
guide
addresses
only
those
items.
You
should
use
good
judgment
to
identify
potential
safety
hazards
due
to
attachment
of
non-IBM
features
or
options
not
covered
by
this
inspection
guide.
