2. Maagizo ya Usalama wa Jumla

ONYO: Soma maonyo yote ya usalama, maagizo, vielelezo, na vipimo vilivyotolewa na zana hii ya nguvu. Kukosa kufuata maagizo yote yaliyoorodheshwa hapa chini kunaweza kusababisha mshtuko wa umeme, moto, na/au majeraha mabaya.

2.1 Usalama wa Eneo la Kazi

• Weka eneo la kazi safi na lenye mwanga. Maeneo yenye vitu vingi au giza hukaribisha ajali.
• Usitumie zana za nguvu katika angahewa zinazolipuka, kama vile maji yanayoweza kuwaka, gesi au vumbi. Zana za nguvu huunda cheche ambazo zinaweza kuwasha vumbi au mafusho.
• Weka watoto na watazamaji mbali wakati wa kutumia zana ya nguvu. Kukengeushwa kunaweza kukufanya ushindwe kujidhibiti.

2.2 Usalama wa Umeme

• Plugi za zana za nguvu lazima zilingane na plagi. Usiwahi kurekebisha plagi kwa njia yoyote. Usitumie plagi za adapta zilizo na zana za nguvu za udongo (zilizowekwa msingi). Plugs zisizobadilishwa na vituo vinavyolingana vitapunguza hatari ya mshtuko wa umeme.
• Epuka mguso wa mwili na nyuso zenye udongo au chini, kama vile mabomba, radiators, safu na friji. Kuna hatari ya kuongezeka kwa mshtuko wa umeme ikiwa mwili wako ni ardhi au msingi.
• Usifichue zana za nguvu kwa mvua au hali ya mvua. Maji yanayoingia kwenye chombo cha nguvu yataongeza hatari ya mshtuko wa umeme.

2.3 Usalama wa kibinafsi

• Vaa kinga ya macho kila wakati. Tumia miwani ya usalama, miwani ya usalama, au ngao ya uso.
• Vaa kinga ya kusikia unapotumia kifaa hicho kwa muda mrefu.
• Vaa vizuri. Usivae nguo zisizo huru au vito. Weka nywele na nguo zako mbali na sehemu zinazosonga.
• Kaa macho, tazama unachofanya, na utumie akili unapotumia zana ya nishati.

2.4 Matumizi na Utunzaji wa Zana

• Usilazimishe chombo cha nguvu. Tumia zana sahihi ya nishati kwa programu yako.
• Tenganisha pakiti ya betri kutoka kwa zana ya nishati kabla ya kufanya marekebisho yoyote, kubadilisha vifuasi au kuhifadhi zana za nguvu.
• Hifadhi zana za nguvu zisizofanya kazi mahali ambapo watoto wanaweza kufikia na usiruhusu watu wasiofahamu zana ya umeme au maagizo haya kuendesha zana ya umeme.
• Dumisha zana za nguvu na vifaa. Angalia ikiwa kuna mpangilio mbaya au kufunga kwa sehemu zinazosonga, kuvunjika kwa sehemu na hali nyingine yoyote ambayo inaweza kuathiri utendakazi wa zana ya nguvu.

2.5 Matumizi na Utunzaji wa Zana ya Betri

• Chaji tena ukitumia chaja iliyobainishwa na mtengenezaji. Chaja ambayo inafaa kwa aina moja ya pakiti ya betri inaweza kuleta hatari ya moto inapotumiwa na pakiti nyingine ya betri.
• Tumia zana za nguvu zilizo na vifurushi maalum vya betri pekee. Utumiaji wa vifurushi vingine vya betri unaweza kusababisha hatari ya kuumia na moto.
• Wakati kifurushi cha betri hakitumiki, kiweke mbali na vitu vingine vya chuma, kama vile klipu za karatasi, sarafu, funguo, misumari, skrubu au vitu vingine vidogo vya chuma, vinavyoweza kuunganisha kutoka terminal moja hadi nyingine. Kufupisha vituo vya betri pamoja kunaweza kusababisha kuungua au moto.
• Chini ya hali ya unyanyasaji, kioevu kinaweza kutolewa kutoka kwa betri; kuepuka kuwasiliana. Ikiwa mawasiliano yanatokea kwa bahati mbaya, suuza na maji. Ikiwa kioevu kinagusa macho, tafuta msaada wa matibabu. Kioevu kilichotolewa kutoka kwa betri kinaweza kusababisha mwasho au kuungua.
