SAFETY SUMMARY
High voltage is used in the operation of
this equipment. Death on contact may
result, if personnel fail to observe the
following safety precautions:
• Do not be misled by the term “Low Voltage.” Potentials as low as 50 Volts may cause
death under adverse conditions.
• Do not crush, puncture, disassemble or otherwise mutilate batteries. Leaking batteries
can cause serious damage to equipment and injury to personnel.
• Do not remove covers or access plates on the equipment, unless you are authorized to do so.
• Do not work on electronic equipment unless there is another person nearby who is familiar
with the operation of the equipment and is trained in administering first aid.
• Whenever possible, disconnect the equipment from the power source before beginning
maintenance.
• To prevent electrical shock or damage to the equipment, do not operate it until you
thoroughly understand the operation and function of all controls, indicators, and
connectors.
• Turn off all power to the equipment before replacing any fuses.
FIRST AID
In case of electrical shock:
• Do not try to pull or grab the individual.
• If possible, turn off the electrical power.
• If you cannot turn off the electrical power, pull, push, or lift the person to safety using a dry
wooden pole, a dry rope, or some other insulating material.
• Send for help as soon as possible.
• After the injured person is no longer in contact with the source of electrical shock, move
the person a short distance away and immediately administer first aid and artificial
resuscitation as required.
