alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating the tool

5. Use safety equipment.
Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses
underneath a full face safety shield.
Nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
6. Do not force the tool. Use the
correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
7. Store idle tools out of reach of
children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
8. Maintain tools with care. Keep
tools dry and clean. Properly
maintained tools are less likely to
bind and are easier to control. Do not
use a damaged tool. Tag damaged
tools “Do not use” until repaired.
9. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
10. Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.

11. Tool service must be performed
only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
12. When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of injury.
13. Maintain a safe working
environment. Keep the work area

16. Before use read and understand
all warnings, safety precautions,

related readings. It is beyond the
scope of this manual to properly
describe the correct procedure
and test data for each vehicle.
17. Carbon monoxide is produced
while a vehicle’s engine is
operating and is deadly in a closed
environment. Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, or

the work area may not be vented
properly. Get fresh air immediately.
18. Prior to using the Vacuum Pump,
place the vehicle’s transmission
