SAFETY SUMMARY

The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedure and therefore do not appear

elsewhere in this publication. These are recommended precautions that personnel must understand and apply during

many phases of operation and maintenance.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Operating personnel must at all times observe all safety regulations. Do not replace electrical components or make

electrical repairs or adjustments with the power on.

DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Under no circumstances should any person replace electrical components or make electrical repairs or adjustments

except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.

RESUSCITATION

Personnel working with or near electrical circuits should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.

The following warnings and cautions appear in the text of this manual, and are repeated here for emphasis.

WARNING

The fumes of trichloroethane are toxic. Provide thorough ventilation whenever

used. DO NOT USE NEAR AN OPEN FLAME. Trichloroethane is not flammable, but

exposure of the fumes to an open flame or hot metal forms highly toxic phosgene

gas (page 5-10).

WARNING

Dangerous voltage is present in the electrical circuits. Death on contact may

result. Use all safety precautions and be extremely careful when performing

electrical troubleshooting and repairs (pages 5-10, 5-11, and 5-13).

CAUTION

Do not paint the typewriter, plastic surfaces, or electrical switches and contacts
