The most effective way to ensure safety when working on a powered device is to unplug it from the power source. This step eliminates the risk of electric shock and accidental activation of the device.
Although other methods like using grounding techniques can reduce risks, they do not completely remove the potential danger as unplugging does. Always ensure the device is completely powered down before beginning repairs.
