Operating and Safety Precautions

Operating and Safety Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
All work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work
station. Figure 1-3 shows an example of a static-safe work station using ESD
protection. When used properly, this provides a significant level of ESD
protection.
To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 M
of isolation from ground. Refer to
ordering static-safe accessories.
These techniques for a static-safe work station should not be used when
working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
