• Dress properly for automotive servicing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry and keep hair, clothing, gloves, hoses, and tools away from any moving parts during use.

Make sure the vehicle is fully supported and parked before beginning any work. Take care to never touch any heated surface with exposed skin.
• ALWAYS exercise caution when dealing with brake fluid that may leak from a damaged piston bushing. This fluid can cause skin irritation and should be handled with care. In case of ingestion or inhalation, seek immediate medical attention. ALWAYS use extreme care when working with brake fluid.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• DO NOT use excessive pressure with this product and do not force it or its attachments. Lubricate the threads and drive the head of the jackscrew with each use, but do not allow lubricant to reach the position of contact between the press assembly and the part.
• Maintain this product. Check for misalignment, binding, wear, or other damage before use. If any damage is detected, repair or replace the problematic components before further use. In a large shop, mark such tools “DO NOT USE” until they have been repaired. Only replace components with identical parts.
