energy supply is switched on without authorisation. This

poses a danger to life for the persons in danger area.

Before starting work, switch off all electrical power

supplies and secure them against being switched back

on again.
If the protective covers are removed for cleaning

purposes, it is essential that they be properly reat-

tached when work is finished.
