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. The effects of an electric shock may sometimes only appear after a few minutes; for this reason always consult a physician.

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 live 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 carry electronic implants (e.g. cardiac pacemakers) must not perform any work on these components.

When performing any repair work on the 220 V system, in accordance with the regulations, appropriate insulating protective clothing must be worn and insulating tools and protective devices must be used.

Observe country-specific regulations.

First aid measures

The person affected must be immediately removed from the electric circuit.

Use protective gloves and a wooden board or a wooden ladder to push or move the person out of the danger zone.

First attempt to turn off the power.

Check the 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 the person is unconscious but breathing, place in the recovery position.
Sterile bandages for burns.

If any symptoms occur, consult a physician immediately.
