Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from ink. If ink
gets in your eye, flush the eye with fresh water and see a doctor
immediately.
Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid
injury from sharp metal edges.
Use static discharge equipment such as anti-static wrist straps
when accessing internal components to protect sensitive

into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and water
immediately. If irritation occurs, contact a physician.
