Y ou are undoubtedly eager to get started, but

tions, you can avoid many potential dangers. The
following list is not meant to be a comprehensive
list, but rather it is meant to make you aware of
some of the risks, and encourage you to take a
safety minded approach to your work area.
• Never rely solely on a floor jack when working underneath a
vehicle. Always use jack stands that are rated for the weight of
your vehicle, use them at the recommended lift points, and
place your vehicle in ‘PARK’ or ‘FIRST’ gear with the parking
brake set.
• Always use eye protection when using power tools, such as
drills, saws, and grinders, or when working underneath a vehi-
cle.
• Never smoke, use an open flame, or have spark producing
items around gasoline or flammable objects. Always have a fire
extinguisher that is rated for chemical and electrical fires handy
when working on motor vehicles. Also, make sure that the
extinguisher is fully charged.
• Operate engines only in a well ventilated area. Carbon
Monoxide, gasoline, and solvent vapors are colorless and
sometimes odorless, and may asphyxiate and explode without
warning.
• Always disconnect the battery from your engine before doing
work on the electrical or fuel systems, or doing underdash
work.
• The chemicals used in the vehicle systems, such as oils and
coolants, are poisonous. Clean up any spills immediately, and
dispose of waste materials properly. Pets, wild animals, and
children may die if they ingest the liquid.
