Procedure in an emergency
In the case of electric shock
● Do not panic. Do not become another victim through contact with the injured person.
● First, shut off the electric current passing through the victim by using the emergency power-off switch. If there
is no emergency power-off switch, use the normal power-off switch.
If this cannot be done, push the victim away from the source of the electric current by using a nonconductive
object such as a dry wooden stick.
● Call an ambulance.
● If the victim is unconscious, artificial respiration may be necessary.
A proper method for performing artificial respiration or resuscitation should be learned beforehand.
If the victim's heart is not beating, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation must be performed by a trained and
qualified person.
In the case of fire
● Call the fire department, and then take action to extinguish the fire.
● Shut off power to the machine by using the emergency power-off switch. If there is no emergency power-off
switch, use the normal power-off switch.
