Section 1 - Safety Precautions
(03/07) 1 - 3
First Aid
Immediate action must be taken after a person
has received an electrical shock. Medical
attention should be summoned as soon as
possible.
The source of electricity must be immediately
removed, either by shutting down the power or
removing the victim from the source.
If the victim must be removed from a live
circuit, pull the victim off with a
non-conductive material. Use the victim's
clothing, a rope, wood or your belt. After
separating the victim from the power source,
immediately check for pulse and respiration. If
a pulse is not present, start CPR
(Cardio-PulmonaryResuscitation) immediately.
If a pulse is present, respiration may be restored
by mouth to mouth resuscitation. Obtain
emergency medical assistance as soon as
possible.
Low Voltage
Control circuits can be 12 volt DC or 24 volt
DC. This voltage potential is not considered
dangerous, but the large amount of current
available can cause severe burns if shorted to
ground.
Do not wear jewelry, watches or rings when
working on the unit. If these items contact an
electrical circuit severe burns may result.
