SAFETY Tips: be careful out there
According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 60,000 injuries are treated by hospital emergency rooms each year because of unsafe operation of power lawn mowers. Kids under the age of 15 are the most common victims. Regardless of which mower you choose, don’t forget to practice safety. We’ve assembled some guidelines below to help keep you safe while using your equipment:

  • Always wear protective eyewear.
  • Mow only in daylight, when the grass is dry.
  • Check your yard for any debris or objects, such as toys that could pose a hazard if you mowed over them.
  • Keep you children and pets out of the mowing area.
  • Never let the starter rope snap back when starting a mower.
  • Look three to four feet directly ahead of you while mowing.
  • Never tilt a mower; always keep all four wheels on ground.

  • Priority One: Life and / or Serious, Property Threat Emergency
  • Priority Two: High Risk Personal or Property Threat Emergency
  • Priority Three: Statutory, Law Enforcement Emergency
  • Priority Four: Potential Danger or Risk Emergency

The flashing lamp colour displayed is dependent upon the type of emergency that the vehicle is required to regularly attend. (See Page 12, Table 1. “Emergency Priority Categories” and Table 2 “Approved Warning Devices”)

Flashing Lamps
A flashing lamp displayed on a vehicle may only be amber/yellow, blue, white, red, green or magenta/ crimson. Each colour, or combination of colours, conveys a particular and individual type of warning to road users.

The Powerful Playstation 2 Repair Guide

The remaining checks will require that the PS2 cover be removed. Follow these steps to safely and easily remove it.

Remove all the screw covers. (There should be 6 screw covers, 4 made of rubber (outer edges) and 2 made of plastic (in the middle), that need to be removed. You can use a small flat blade screwdriver for this. There should be 2-4 more screw covers on the outer side of the base, underneath the controller ports. The older model PS2’s have 4 screw covers, while the newer ones have only 2. Remove them all, and you should now have a total of 8-10 screws unveiled. Set the screw covers aside.

Use your knife to cut the warranty tape that is covering the seam between the back and the top cover. (By the power switch). Just trace the seam through the tape with the knife so that it will not be holding you back when you go to remove the top later. You can also just remove the tape completely if you want.

XBox Repair Guide

Warnings Read the warning labels on the case and internal components Microsoft puts those there to indemnify from responsibility because it is in fact dangerous in there. The power supply is exposed, when it is not plugged in it can still hold a significant amount of power, it can shock you, if it is plugged in and you touch it, it WILL shock you. Taking proper precautions it can be perfectly safe. A few things to consider.

Damage to you High voltage electrical shock hazard, touching almost any part of the power supply while it is connected will result in a shock. Even a brief shock at just the right moment/voltage etc can result in messed up heart rhythm and death. Consider wrapping the power cord into a bundle, when the case is open the cord stays under the lid in a bundle. When the lid is on you can un-bundle the cord and plug it in. This may sound like an exaggeration but you need to be very responsible with your actions.
