Safety Summary
Your safety is extremely important. Read and follow all warnings and

Do not repair or adjust alone

First aid
Always obtain first aid or medical attention immediately after an injury.

ing. Any delay could result in death. To work on or near high voltage,
you should be familiar with approved industrial first aid methods.
