Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame
eyeglasses, or other personal metal objects,
(Remember: if the metal touches the machine,
the flow of current increases because the
metal is a conductor.)
Use only insulated probe tips or extenders.
(Remember: worn or cracked insulation is
unsafe.
Use only one hand while you are working on
live equipment. Keep the other hand in your
pocket or behind your back. (Remember:
there must be a complete circuit for an
electrical shock to occur. This precaution
prevents your body from completing the
circuit!)
When you use a tester, set its controls
correctly and use insulated probes that have
the correct electrical specification.
Do not touch objects that are grounded, such
as metal floor strips, machine frames, or
other conductors. Use suitable rubber mats
obtained locally, if necessary.
•
When you are working with machines having
voltages more than 30 V ac or 42.4 V dc, observe
the special safety instructions given in customer
engineering memorandums (CEMs).
•
Never assume: that power has been removed from
a circuit. First, check that it has been removed.
•
Do not touch live electrical circuits with the
surface of a plastic dental mirror. (Remember:
the surface of the dental mirror is conductive and
can cause damage and personal injury.)
•
If an electrical accident occurs:
1. ,Use caution; do not be a victim yourself.
2.
Switch off the power.
3.
Instruct another person to get medical aid .
4.
If
the victim
is
not breathing, perform
mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing. See
"Electrical Accidents-First Aid" (following).
Mechanical Safety
Do not touch mechanical parts when you are
(1) lubricating a part, (2) checking for play, or
(3) doing other similar work.
Safety Glasses
Wear safety glasses when:
•
Using a hammer to drive pins or similar parts
•
Using a power drill
•
Using a spring hook to attach or remove a spring
•
Soldering parts
•
Cutting wire or removing steel bands
•
Using solvents, chemicals, or cleaners to clean
parts
•
Working in any other conditions that could injure
your eyes.
Tools, Testers, and Field-Use Materials
•
Do not use tools and testers that have not been
approved by IBM. Ensure that electrical hand
tools, such as Wire-Wrapl tools and power drills,
are inspected regularly.
•
Exchange worn and broken tools and testers.
•
Do not use solvents, cleaners, or oils that have
not been approved by IBM.
