•
Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand
tools for safe operational condition.
• Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected
from a circuit. First,
check that it has been powered-
off.
• 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.
•
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.
• 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.)
• If an electrical accident occurs:
- Use caution; do not become a victim
yourself.
- Switch off power.
- Send another person to get medical aid
while first aid is being administered.
Safety Inspection Guide
The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in
identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products.
Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required
safety items installed to protect users and service personnel
from injury. This guide addresses only those items.
However, good judgment should be used to identify potential
safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM features or
options not covered by this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine
how serious the apparent hazard could be and whether you
can continue without first correcting the problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they
present:
•
Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock)
• Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or
bulging capacitor
•
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing
hardware
