Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that might be
hazardous to your eyes.

Safety with Electricity
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity.
➽ Danger:

➽ Danger:
To avoid shock hazard the power cord must be connected to a properly
wired and earthed receptacle. Any equipment to which the switch will be attached
must also be connected to properly wired and earthed receptacles.

up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the
metal object to the terminals.
