while operating the OEMTools A/C Vacuum Pump.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect
others in the work area from injury.

under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the tool may

appropriate conditions.
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your

breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation.
