We have already mentioned here many times and quite consciously repeated: safety concerns - and for a novice amateur even more so - should be a priority «number one». Therefore, take on only those jobs that you have really mastered. Never take them on your still weak shoulders and do not take on the execution of those cases with which you have little experience in practice or have no experience at all. Incorrect repairs will sooner or later lead to fatal consequences: and, as always, not only for you, but also for third parties around you while driving on roads or streets.
 Smoking and changing the fuel filter - why not play Russian roulette right away? Therefore: for all repair and maintenance work, the cigar must always be in its packaging. |
 Mickey Mouse looks funny. However, it is better to take care of your ears if you are working with metal cutting or with the engine running, by wearing ear protection. |
 Always wear protective goggles when drilling, grinding or chiselling. It is also recommended to protect your eyes when working on the fuel system under the vehicle or when cleaning the underbody. During welding work, special welding goggles should be worn. |
 Work gloves will protect you from dirt or abrasions from hard metal. However, when using a drilling tool, this is very dangerous. If the drill chuck grabs your glove, then most often this situation will turn out to be bad consequences for your hand. |
 Be careful when working in a poorly lit inspection hole. Gasoline vapors and exhaust gases can accumulate in it. When the engine is running, this creates a danger to life due to possible poisoning. |
 Blown fuses should always be replaced with new ones of the same type and same amperage (A \u003d Ampere). Never use wire or a paper clip to create a jumper. This can later lead to defects in structural elements or, even worse, to a fire in the wire. |
 Be careful when working on the ignition system! This system is under high voltage when the engine is running (primary electrical circuit) up to 30,000 volts. Therefore checks of system of ignition make only at the stopped engine. Or organize the work order so that no work is started while the engine is running. |
 If it is necessary to varnish a significant surface of the car, then it is necessary to wear a special protective mask. In addition, make sure that the varnishing room is well ventilated. |
 Take aerosol cans, used oil, brake fluid or old brake linings clean and separately to designated collection points in your city or community. Used (starter) Batteries are handed over to their seller. |
