Here are a few tips I learned the hard way.
1. Wear safety glasses when grinding. You only get one set of eyes. 2. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby when working on fuel lines. 3. Disconnect your battery and your FI control box before welding on your car. What are your best safety tips? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

1) Two pairs of jack stands are better than one.
1a) Keep that jack up under the car 'just in case'. 2) When working with items that need to be heated to install (gears, bearings, etc), don't use the oven in the kitchen! 3) Keep your cell phone on you and easily reachable in case you need to make a 911 call. 4) No more than 1 litre of beer on your lunch break. 5) When using power tools such as grinders, sanders, welders, etc; take a break every hour or two to let your hands stop swelling. 6) Common Sense Isn't. |
