2. Workshop equipment (lifting mechanisms, machine tools, power tools) must be specially adapted for repair operations (for example, to power portable lighting fixtures, it is desirable to use low voltage sources of 36 or 12 V, and not 220 V).
3. Do not smoke or use open fire in the room where the car is parked, where there are fuels and lubricants, etc.
4. When working with a metalwork tool, use gloves - they will protect your hands not only from dirt, but also from scratches and cuts.
5. Carry out any work from the bottom of the car with goggles.
6. When carrying out body repairs (putty, painting, sanding) put on a respirator and provide additional ventilation of the room.
7. Perform work related to the removal and installation of heavy components and assemblies of the vehicle with an assistant.
8. Containers with fuels, lubricants and paints and varnishes stored in the workshop must always be tightly closed. Keep such materials away from sparks when using metal cutting tools.
9. Avoid oils (especially worked out), antifreeze and electrolyte on exposed skin. In case of contact, wash off as soon 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 can lead to a fire. If you are not sure about your knowledge of the maintenance of these systems, it is better to contact specialists. If you still decide to do the work yourself, strictly follow all the recommendations and warnings.
12. Take special care when repairing vehicles equipped with airbags or belt pretensioners. Do not attempt to repair the components of these systems yourself (electronic airbag control unit, airbag modules, steering wheel, impact sensors, belt pretensioners, etc.), as incorrect work may cause these devices to operate, resulting in serious injury. When performing any work in the area where these devices are located, carefully study all recommendations and warnings.
13. Tools and equipment used in car repair must be in good working order. Particular attention should 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 depressurize, as the refrigerant contained in it is under high pressure and is poisonous.
