v Do not touch the reflective surface of a dental mirror to a live electrical circuit. The surface is conductive and can cause personal injury or equipment damage if it touches a live electrical circuit. v Some rubber floor mats contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharge. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock. v Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages. v Locate the emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet so that you can turn off the power quickly in the event of an electrical accident. v Disconnect all power before you perform a mechanical inspection, work near power supplies, or remove or install main units. v Before you work on the equipment, disconnect the power cord. If you cannot disconnect the power cord, have the customer power-off the wall box that supplies power to the equipment and lock the wall box in the off position. v Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Check it to make sure that it has been disconnected. v If you have to work on equipment that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions: - Make sure that another person who is familiar with the power-off controls is near you and is available to turn off the power if necessary. - When you are working with powered-on electrical equipment, use only one hand. Keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back to avoid creating a complete circuit that could cause an electrical shock. - When using a tester, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester. - Stand on a suitable rubber mat to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and equipment frames. v Use extreme care when measuring high voltages. v To ensure proper grounding of components such as power supplies, pumps, blowers, fans, and motor generators, do not service these components outside of their normal operating locations. v If an electrical accident occurs, use caution, turn off the power, and send another person to get medical aid.
