AS00.00-Z-0021-01A Risk Of Death Caused By Coming Into Contact With Components Of A 220 V System

DANGER: Do not touch voltage conducting parts in the 220 V system

Risk of death caused by electric shock
Risk of death caused by coming into contact with electrical parts of the 220 V system. Electric shocks can cause fibrillation of the heart or even cardiac arrest. It may also take several minutes for the consequences of an electric shock to show themselves; for this reason always contact a doctor.

Risk of injury caused by burns
Electric shock or direct body contact with a power source can lead to burns or scalding.

Safety instructions/precautions
Never connect the 220 V power supply to an outside socket during any repair work.

Do not touch any conductive parts of the 220 V system.

Before beginning any work always:
- Disconnect the 220 V system
- Ensure that the 220 V system cannot be reactivated
- Ensure that no voltage is present
- Ensure that the parts you are working on are grounded and short circuited

All repair work should be performed only by a trained electrician or under the direction and supervision of a trained electrician.

Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must not carry out any work on such components.

When performing any repair work on the 220 V system, proper insulated protective clothing must be worn and insulated tools and protective devices must be used as per the safety regulations.

Observe country-specific regulations.

First aid measures
The shocked person must be immediately removed from the electric circuit.
Use protective gloves and a wood board or a wood ladder to push or move the shocked person out of the danger zone.

First attempt to turn off the power.

- Check for breathing. If there is no breathing or insufficient breathing, the preferable action is to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If necessary, carry out CPR.
- If victim is unconscious, but breathing, place victim in the recovery position.
- Sterile bandages for burns.

If any of these symptoms occur, consult a physician immediately.
