Dust, eye and hand protection

• Protect your lungs from inhalation of
dust particles by wearing a filtering mask
over the nose and mouth. Many frictional
materials still contain asbestos which is
dangerous to your health. Protect your eyes
from spouts of liquid and sprung
components by wearing a pair of protective
goggles (see illustration 1.6).

1.6 A fire extinguisher, goggles, mask

and protective gloves should be at hand

in the workshop

• Protect your hands from contact with
solvents, fuel and oils by wearing rubber
gloves. Alternatively apply a barrier cream to
your hands before starting work. If handling
hot components or fluids, wear suitable
gloves to prutect yuui hands from scalding
and burns.

What to do with old fluids

• Old cleaning solvent, fuel, coolant and oils
should not be poured down domestic drains
or onto the ground. Package the fluid up in old
oil containers, label it accordingly, and take it
to a garage or disposal facility. Contact your
local authority for location of such sites or ring
the oil care hotline.

Note: It is antisocial and illegal to dump oil down the drain. To find the location of your local oil recycling bank, call this number free.
