FROM SI-D- Corp S2SRSR8A15 (WEO)JAM 11 2012 8:28{ST. 9:06/fNo. 753565873A R 7 4r ooULE 4 ROTATING PARTS Fans, belts, pulleys, and driveshafts on the vehicle and drill presses, brake lathes, wheel balancers and valve grinding machines in the shop all involve rotating parts that are dangerous. �1. As we mentioned with hand and power tools, rings,jewelry, loose clothing and long hair can get caught in these devices and pull you right into the moving parts. Next time, stand to one side of a fan or pulley out of range of the spinning part while performing your work, NOISE In a typical service bay the whirrr of an impact wrench or pneumatic drill, the buzz of a power grinder, or the racket caused by some engine fans and exhaust systems are loud noises that over time can lead to permanent hear- ing loss. If the noises in your shop are so loud that you must raise your voice to talk with someone five feet away,you need ear protection. •Use ear plugs or ear muffs that are properly fitted; one size does not fit everyone. ' • Keep your ear protection clean by washing it in warm soapy water. • Ear protection blocks out noise around you so you can hear the sounds you need to hear. l x PROTECTING YOUR BACK T Back problems are one of the leading hazards automotive service 'L technicians face. Leaning over a fender all day and lifting heavy objects like cylinder heads, engines,transmissions, and even <` tires can strain the strongest backs. `'' •Use your legs, not your back,when lifting heavy objects. •Ask for help anytime someone is available, even for light i weight items. • Use your elbows for support when working under the hood. •Wearing work shoes with a cushioned, gasoline resistant non-slip sole will prevent back and leg strain that results from standing for hours on a concrete floor. 31 C Copyright 1987 KLM Automotive Publishing Inc,
