2. Workshop equipment (lifting mechanisms, machines, power tools) must be specially adapted to perform repair operations (for example, to power portable lighting devices, it is advisable to use low-voltage sources of 36 or 12 V, rather than 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 (puttying, painting, sanding), put on 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 of oils (especially used oils), antifreeze and electrolyte with 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 components of these systems (airbag control unit, airbag modules, steering wheel, impact sensors, seat belt pretensioners, etc.) yourself, as improper performance of work may cause these devices to operate, which may result in serious injury. When performing any work in the area where these devices are located, carefully read 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 contained in it is under high pressure and toxic.
