–When using testers, set the controls correctly and
use the approved probe leads and accessories for
that tester.
–Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if
necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as
metal floor strips and machine frames.
Observe the special safety precautions when you work
with very high voltages; these instructions are in the
safety sections of maintenance information. Use
extreme care when measuring high voltages.
vRegularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand...

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:
vElectrical hazards, especially primary power (primary
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock)
vExplosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a
bulging capacitor
vMechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware
To determine whether there are any...

damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the
part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all
at the same charge.
Notes1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they
exceed the requirements noted here.
2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you
use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully
effective.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
vKeep the parts in protective packages until they are
inserted into the product.
vAvoid contact with other people.
