Test Equipment - Tektronix dm 501a Instruction Manual

8. Avoid handling components in areas that have a floor
or work surface covering capable of generating a
static charge .
9. Use a soldering iron that is connected to earth
ground .
10 . Use only special antistatic suction type or wick type
desoldering tools.
'Test Equipment
Before using any test equipment to make mea-
surements on static-sensitive components or assemblies,
be certain that any voltage or current supplied by the test
equipment does not exceed the limits of the component to
be tested .
