Home-use electric kilns – At least 60 cm (24 in)

Home power tools
Most home power tools should not affect cardiac monitors. Consider the following common-sense
guidelines:
▪
Keep all equipment in good working order to avoid electrical shock.
▪
Be certain that plug-in tools are properly grounded (or double insulated). Using a ground fault
interrupter (GFI) outlet is a good safety measure.
Some home power tools could affect cardiac monitor operation. To avoid interference, the
minimum distances are as follows:
Electric yard and handheld power tools (plug-in and cordless) – At least 15 cm (6 in)
Soldering guns and demagnetizers – At least 30 cm (12 in)
Gasoline-powered tools and gasoline-powered yard equipment – At least 30 cm (12 in) away
from components of the ignition system. Turn off the motor before making adjustments.
Car engine repair – Turn off car engines before making any adjustments. When the engine is
running, keep your cardiac monitor at least 30 cm (12 in) away from components of the ignition
system.
