                   THE TEN ELECTRO-COMMANDMENTS

1. Beware of the lightning that lurketh in an undischarged capacitor,
   lest it cause thee to be bounced upon thy buttocks in a most un-
   gentlemanly manner.

2. Cause thou the switch that supplies large quantities of juice to be
   opened and thusly tagged, so thy days may be long on this earthly
   vale of tears.

3. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which thou
   worketh are grounded, lest they lift thee to high-frequency potential
   and cause thee to radiate also.

4. Take care thou useth the proper method when thou taketh the measure of
   high-voltage circuits so that thou doth not incinerate both thee and
   thou meter, for verily, though thou hath no account number and can be
   easily replaced, the meter doth have one, and, as a consequence bringeth
   much woe unto the Calibration Lab.

5. Tarry thou not amongst those who engage in intentional shocks, for they
   are surely nonbelievers and are not long for this world.

6. Take care thou tampereth not with interlocks and safety devices, for
   this will incur the wrath of they seniors and bringeth the fury of the
   safety officer down about thy head and shoulders.

7. Work thou not on energized equipment, for if thou doeth, thy buddies
   will surely be buying beers for thy widow and consoling her in other
   ways not generally acceptable to thee.

8. Verily, verily I say unto thee, never service high voltage equipment alone,
   for electric cooking is a slothful process and thou might sizzle in thine
   own fat for hours on end before thy Maker sees fit to end thy misery and
   drag thee into His fold.

9. Trifle thou not with radioactive tubes and substances, lest thou commence
   to glow in the dark like a lightning bug, and thy wife be frustrated
   nightly and have no further use for thee except thy wage.

10.Commit thou to memory the works of the prophets, which are written in
   the instruction books, which giveth the straight dope and which
   consoleth thee, and thou cannot make mistakes, sometimes, maybe.
