6. Use the old "one hand in the pocket" trick.

This is a great way to avoid a full arm-chest(heart)-arm chocks since
these can be leathal... it doesn't take much current to make the heart
go hiwire or worse, just stop pumping...

Try to remove direct contact points to any of the line or zero leads
and protect these well. Do propper connection of protection ground and
chassi.

Make you and your gear stay alive longer!
