(R010) Special caution and safety notices This information describes special safety notices that apply to the FlashSystem V840. These notices are in addition to the standard safety notices supplied and address specific issues releant to the equipment proided. General safety When you serice the FlashSystem V840, follow general safety guidelines. Use the following general rules to ensure safety to yourself and others: Obsere good housekeeping in the area where the deices are kept during and after maintenance. Follow the guidelines when lifting any heay object: 1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping. 2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. 3. Use a slow lifting force. Neer moe suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift. 4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action remoes the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 18 kg (40 lb) or objects that you think are too heay for you. Do not perform any action that causes a hazard or that makes the equipment unsafe. Before you start the deice, ensure that other personnel are not in a hazardous position. Place remoed coers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are sericing the unit. Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip oer it. xi FlashSystem V840: Installation Guide

17 Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moing parts of a deice. Ensure that your sleees are fastened or rolled up aboe your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it. Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconducting clip, approximately 8 cm (3 in.) from the end. Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing. Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors. Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using solents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes. After serice, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety deice that is worn or defectie. Reinstall all coers correctly after you hae finished sericing the unit. Handling static-sensitie deices Ensure that you understand how to handle deices that are sensitie to static electricity. Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic deices and your system. To aoid damage, keep static-sensitie deices in their static-protectie bags until you are ready to install them. To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, obsere the following precautions: Limit your moement. Moement can cause static electricity to build up around you. Handle the deice carefully, holding it by its edges or frame. Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry. Do not leae the deice where others can handle and possibly damage the deice. While the deice is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This action remoes static electricity from the package and from your body.) Remoe the deice from its package and install it directly into your FlashSystem V840, without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the deice down, place it onto its static-protectie bag. (If your deice is an adapter, place it component-side up.) Do not place the deice onto the coer of the FlashSystem V840 or onto a metal table. Take additional care when you handle deices during cold weather because heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. Sound pressure Attention: Depending on local conditions, the sound pressure can exceed 85 db(a) during serice operations. In such cases, wear appropriate hearing protection.
