1) Beware the lightning that lurketh in the un-discharged
capacitor, lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in a
most untechnician-like manner.
2) Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities of juice
to be opened and thusly tagged, that thy day in this earthly vale
of tears may be long.
3) Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon
which thou worketh are grounded and thusly tagged lest they lift
thee to radio frequency potential and cause thee to make like a
radiator, too.
4) Tarry not amongst those fools that engageth in intentional
shocks, for they are surely non-believers and are not long for
this world.
5) Take care that thou useth the proper method when thou takes
the measure of a high voltage circuit lest thou incinerate both
thyself and thy meter, for verily, though thou hast no account
number and can be easily surveyed, thy test meter doth have one
and, as a consequence, bringeth much woe unto the supply
department.
6) Take care thou tampereth not with safety devices and
interlocks, for this incureth the wrath of the supervisor and
bringeth the fury of the safety inspector upon thy head and
shoulders.
7) Work thou not on energized equipment, for if thou dost, thy
fellow workers will surely buy beers for thy widow and console
her in other ways.
8) Service thou not equipment alone, for electrical cooking is a
slothful process and thou might sizzle in thine own fat for hour
upon a hot circuit before thy Maker sees fit to end thy misery.
9) Trifle thou not with radioactive tubes and substances lest
thou commence to glow in the dark like a lightning bug and thy
wife have no further use for thee except thy wages.
10) Thou shall not make unauthorized modifications to equipment,
but causeth thou to be recorded all field changes and authorized
modifications made by thee lest thy successor tear his hair out
and go slowly mad in his attempt to decide what manner of
creature hath made a nest in the wiring of such equipment.
