General safety guidelines
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
●
Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.
●
When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain
from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 16
kg (35 lb.) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.
●
Do not perform any action that causes hazards to yourself or those around you, or that
makes the equipment unsafe.
●
Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the
customer’s personnel are not in a hazardous position.
●
Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you
are servicing the machine.
●
Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.
●
Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure
that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
●
Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive
clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
●
Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.
Note:
Note:
Metal objects are good electrical conductors.
●
Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching
springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your
eyes.
●
After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any
safety device that is worn or defective.
●
Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.
