(1) _Under General Conditions_
(1) _Em Condições Gerais_
(a) Simple sabotage is more than malicious mischief, and it should always consist of acts whose results will be detrimental to the materials and manpower of the enemy.
(a) A sabotagem simples é mais do que malícia maliciosa, e deve sempre consistir em atos cujos resultados sejam prejudiciais aos materiais e à mão de obra do inimigo.
(b) The saboteur should be ingenious in using his every-day equipment.
(b) O sabotador deve ser engenhoso ao usar seus equipamentos do dia a dia.
All sorts of weapons will present themselves if he looks at his surroundings in a different light.
Todos os tipos de armas se apresentarão se ele olhar para o seu entorno sob uma luz diferente.
For example, emery dust—a powerful weapon—may at first seem unobtainable, but if the saboteur were to pulverize an emery knife sharpener or emery wheel with a hammer, he would find himself with a plentiful supply.
Por exemplo, o pó de esmeril — uma arma poderosa — pode à primeira vista parecer inacessível, mas se o sabotador pulverizasse um afiador de facas de esmeril ou uma roda de esmeril com um martelo, ele se encontraria com um suprimento abundante.
(c) The saboteur should never attack targets beyond his capacity or the capacity of his instruments.
(c) O sabotador nunca deve atacar alvos além de sua capacidade ou da capacidade de seus instrumentos.
An inexperienced person should not, for example, attempt to use explosives, but should confine himself to the use of matches or other familiar weapons.
Uma pessoa inexperiente não deve, por exemplo, tentar usar explosivos, mas deve se limitar ao uso de fósforos ou outras armas familiares.
(d) The saboteur should try to damage only objects and materials known to be in use by the enemy or to be destined for early use by the enemy.
