Sustained overloading will cause cable failure and result in possible electrical shock or re hazard. Work cable
should be the same rang as the factory.
• Always keep cables and connectors in good condion.
Improper or worn electrical connecons can cause short circuits and can increase the chance of an electrical shock.
Do not use worn, damaged, or bare cables.
• Always avoid open-circuit voltage.
The added voltages increase the severity of electric shock hazard.
• Always wear insulated gloves while you adjust equipment.
Electric power should be turned o and insulated gloves should be worn when making any equipment adjustment
to assure shock protecon.
• Always wear protecve clothing such as long sleeve shorts while you are installing or removing equipment.
• Always wear high, snug ng shoes.
• Always wear clean clothes without grease or oil.
• Protect neighboring workers from exposure to arc radiaon.
• Always wear long trousers or jeans while you are installing or removing equipment.
• Always wear safety helmet or hard head and safety shoes before work.
• Always keep the equipment in dry places.
• Always wear safety harnesses/belt while you work in high places.
• Always wear dry clothing and avoid moisture and water.
• Always wear Public Safety Vest, while you work at night.
• Make sure all electrical connecons are ght, clean, and dry.
• Make sure that you are well insulated to eliminate electric stac charge.
• Always wear dry gloves, rubber-soled shoes, or stand on a dry board or plaorm.
• Always follow recognized safety standards.
• Always wear correct eye, ear, and body protecon.
• Always have second person on-site, while you work in dark, poor venlaon, or high places.
• Make sure that you are well protected against arc ashes, mechanical injury, or other mishaps.
• Make sure that the polarity of wire is correct before installing equipment.
• Always handle equipment with care.
• Do not block the venlaon of equipment.
