2. Workshop equipment (lifting mechanisms, machine tools, power tools) must be specially adapted for performing repair operations (for example, to power portable lighting devices, it is advisable to use low-voltage sources - 36 or 12 V, and not 220 V).
3. Do not smoke or use open fire in rooms where the vehicle is parked, where there are flammable materials, etc.
4. When working with metalworking tools, use gloves – they will protect your hands not only from dirt, but also from scratches and cuts.
5. Perform any work underneath the vehicle wearing protective glasses.
6. When carrying out body repairs (putty, painting, sanding) wear a respirator and provide additional ventilation in the room.
7. Work related to the removal and installation of heavy vehicle components and assemblies should be performed with an assistant.
8. Containers with flammable, lubricating and paint materials stored in the workshop must always be tightly closed. Do not allow such materials to be in the spark zone when using metal-cutting tools.
9. Avoid contact with oils (especially worked out), antifreeze and electrolyte on exposed skin. In case of contact, wash off as quickly as possible with soapy water.
10. Do not use gasoline, diesel fuel, solvents, etc. to clean your hands.
11. Remember that improper maintenance of electrical equipment and fuel equipment may cause a fire. If you are not confident in your knowledge of servicing these systems, it is better to contact specialists. If you decide to do the work yourself, strictly follow all recommendations and warnings.
12. Use extreme caution when repairing vehicles equipped with airbags or seat belt pretensioners. Do not attempt to repair these systems yourself (electronic airbag control unit, airbag modules, steering wheel, impact sensors, seat belt pretensioners, etc.), as incorrect execution of work may result in the activation of these devices and, as a result, serious injuries. When performing any work in the area of these devices, carefully study all recommendations and warnings.
13. The tools and equipment used in car repairs must be in good working order. Particular attention must be paid to the condition of the insulation of electrical wires.
14. When servicing vehicles equipped with an air conditioning system, do not allow the system to become depressurized, as the refrigerant it contains is toxic.
