Electrical and other Safety:

Technology and the laws and limitations imposed by manufacturers and content owners are constantly changing. Thus, some of the projects described may not work, may be inconsistent with current laws or user agreements, or may damage or adversely affect some equipment.

Your safety is your own responsibility, including proper use of equipment and safety gear, and determining whether you have adequate skill and experience.

If you are a younger person or are inexperienced with electrical devices, ask for help from a parent, teacher or other knowledgeable person.

Princeton University has an excellent page on Electric Safety here: http://web.princeton.edu/sites/ehs/hazardcommguide/8.htm You should view and understand that page before attempting any project or use of power control devices that use or control voltages above 40 Volts AC or DC.
