accumulation.
4. Ensure all plastic, paper, vinyl, Styrofoam ® and other static
generating materials are kept away from the work area.
5. Minimize the handling of the instrument and all static sensitive
components.
6. Keep replacement parts in static-free packaging.
7. Do not slide static-sensitive devices over any surface.
8. Use only antistatic type solder suckers.
