Ukuvunwa

Ukuvunwa kwaso kuvamise ukwenziwa ngesandla kusetjenziswa umukhwa obukhali nanyana imitjhini emincani esetjenziswa eplasini. Lokhu kuvumela abatjali bona bavune isikhathi eside okwenza bona bangezelele isivuno. Sika amakari wangaphandle kwaphela isibanga esingaba yi-40 mm ukusuka ehlabathini. Lokhu kufanele kuhlale kwenziwa ukugcugcuzela ukukhula kwestjalwesi okuzokwenza bona kwande isivuno.
Lapha kutjalwa khona iintjalo ngobunengi ngehloso yokuzithengisa lokhu kuvamise ukwenziwa ngomtjhini. Lapha kutjalwa khona iintjalo ngobunengi ngehloso yokuzithengisa, istjalwesi sitjalwa sibesinengi.
