Tsema ntsena matluka yale handle kuringana 40 mm kusuka ehenhla ka misava. Leswi swifanele ku endliwa minkarhi hinkwayo leswi hlohletelaka kukula xikanwe naku ngetelela mbuyelo. Eka mapurasi lawa yakulu leswi switala kuva swiendliwa hi muchini. Eka mapurasi lawa swimilani swiva switlimbanile swinene.

Nhlayiso

Xipinichi axi hlayiseki kuringana nkarhi woleha endzhaku ka ntshovelo lero swifanele kuvekiwa eka ndzhawu leyi titimelaka.

Xipinichi xifanele kuvekiwa eka swigwitsirisi kuringana 7 wa masiku loko xinga se dyiwa kutiyisisa khwalithi ya kahle.
