There is only one bad thing about getting shocked... (other than burnt
flesh) That is getting shocked through your hart!!! So for a rank beginner I
would suggest you place a pice of tape once around all your fingers of one
hand then shove it in your pocket... every time you feel the need to use two
hands the tape will be a reminder that, that hand needs to be in your
pocket!!!!
I use an old screw driver (big plastic handle) with a three foot grounding
wire... attach the wire to any grounded place in the device and simply touch
everything!!! You will quickly learn what was charged(zzzt
...pow...crackle...) :)
This was the fun part of high school electronics...LOL...
