The greatest safety line ever contantly drilled into me, and which is in the front page of virtually every machinery service manual, is.... "Never attempt to adjust, repair, or lubricate any machine or engine, that is in motion".

If the test system involves the possibility of placing oneself at serious risk by carrying out those adjustments, then surely, the test procedures must be revised to reduce the personal injury risk to as low a level as possible.
