WORK SAFELY

-

• Wear thick protective gloves when working with sharp edges, grinding, cutting and using an angle grinder.

• Hold the angle grinder with two hands to control

torque twist and kick-back.

• Wear eye protection when grinding, cutting, wire brushing, sanding, releasing springs and clips, when opening fluid lines and working on overhead parts.

• Wear a particle filter when removing rust and

cleaning brake parts.

• Wear steel toe-capped work shoes that will protect against falling objects and ensure better grip on slippery floors.

• When welding, wear specialist welding protective gloves, clothing and mask, and ensure appropriat­e fire-fighting equipment is available close by.

• Never work on a cooling system, nor remove the filler cap, until the engine and coolant are fully cooled; and then always remove the filler cap slowly in case of residual pressure.
