- Na leig às no na cuir a-steach rud sam bith ann am fosgladh sam bith.
- Na cleachd a-muigh.
- Na bi ag obair far a bheilear a’ cleachdadh stuthan aerosol (spraeadh) no far a bheilear a’ toirt seachad ocsaidean.
- Gus dì-cheangal, tionndaidh a h-uile smachd chun an t-suidheachaidh dheth, an uairsin thoir air falbh am pluga bhon ionad.
