Smithy Ez-Trol2 - Manual (Page 11)

SAFETY
OVERVIEW
This section is the most important section of the manual. Remember safety should always be
priority number one and always let common sense be your guide. The safety rules listed below are
by no way exhaustive; if any questions arise concerning safe operation, consult with the factory
before initiating the operation. Remember the operator of this control system is working with
electrical components and a shock hazard is always present.
The items listed below can cause potential harm to the health of the operator and can result in
serious harm to the machine if the action is not avoided.
1 Power must be shut off before working on any electrical components and control
box elements.
2 The control box should be kept CLOSED at all times, except when maintenance is
required.
3 Protective equipment for eyes, hands or face must be worn while working on
electrical components.
4 When working on exposed energized conductors or circuit parts, trained personnel
must use insulated tools or handling equipment.
5 Do not use flexible cords installed in the control box for raising, pulling or
lowering the control system. All cords should be disconnected first before the
equipment is moved.
6 Exposed cords and electrical connections shall be periodically inspected before
use for external defects.
7 Do not touch any electrical components when wet or in any conductive work
locations.
8 Over current or voltage protection elements of the electrical/control box must not
be changed or removed without factory consultation.
