3 Safety Precautions and Warnings

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the brake tool, read this instruction manual
first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:
Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.
Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are poisonous.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while running tests.
Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark
plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical fires nearby.
Don't connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running.
Keep the brake tool dry, clean, and free from oil/water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean
cloth to clean the outside of the brake tool, when necessary.
