General Precautions
When working around electronics there are some precautions you should always take when cleaning:
• The best way to clean any computer component or device is to follow the manufacturer's
instructions in your user manual.
• Always power off the system first
• Always use anti-static wristband or other professional grounding devices
• Never work on carpeted surfaces
• Never spray cleaning fluids directly onto computer components. Always spray the cleaner onto a
cloth then wipe
• Do not allow any cleaner to run or drip near circuit boards, or near seams on device casings.
• Never allow circuits or electronics to become damp or wet.
• Some cleaning solvents can damage components. In most cases, water will work just as well.
• Cleaning electronics and circuit boards requires experience, knowledge and special electronics
cleaners. This type of cleaning is best left to professionals.
