Please correct me quoting a rule from the manual if I am incorrect.
Or more importantly, to blow off the robot before powering it up because your team, or the team in the next pt was cutting, grinding, filing, chopping, de-burring, trimming, stripping, or otherwise performing an activity likely to cause metal bits and pieces to be in the air and possibly land in or on your sensitive electronics.

They don't make you wear safety glasses for nothing.
