This product meets IBM safety standards.
The following information has been included in this publication for the
use and safety of IBM personnel. For more information, see Electrical
Safety for IBM Service Representatives, S229-8124, and Safety/Health
Guidelines for IBM Service Representatives, S241-5493.
Use these rules to ensure general safety:
 Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after
completing maintenance.
 Use only field-supply items (such as adhesives, cleaning fluids,
lubricants, paints, and solvents) that have been approved by IBM, that
is, are supplied under an IBM part number.
 When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Balance the weight of the object between your two feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you
attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this
action removes the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not
attempt to lift any objects that you think are too heavy for you.
 Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer or that
makes the equipment unsafe.
 Put removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all
personnel, while you are servicing the machine.
 Always keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other persons
will not trip over it; for example, put it under a desk or table.
 Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of
a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or are rolled up
above the elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
 Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal
fasteners for your clothing.
Note: Remember: A metal object lets more current flow if you touch a
live conductor.
 Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside other clothing or
fasten the necktie with a clip, preferably nonconductive,
approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the ends.
 Wear safety glasses when you are:
- Using a hammer to drive pins or similar parts
- Drilling with a power hand-drill
- Using spring hooks or attaching springs
- Soldering parts
- Cutting wire or removing steel bands
- Cleaning parts with solvents, chemicals, or cleaning fluids
- Working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your
eyes.
 Before you start the machine, ensure that other service
representatives and the customer's personnel are not in a hazardous
position.
 After maintenance, reinstall all safety devices such as shields,
guards, labels, and ground wires. Exchange any safety device that is
worn or defective for a new one.
Note: Remember: Safety devices protect personnel from hazards. You
destroy the purpose of the devices if you do not reinstall them before
completing your service call.
 Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the
customer.
