REPAIR SAFETY TIPS

Please read carefully. These are rules i collected from different autoparts expert. You can get  injured while working on cars. Please be careful. If you choose to work on your own or anybody else's car please follow all of the safety rules below.. If something seems unsafe, don't do it.There are dangers present when working on any part of the automobile and I can't possibly cover everything, although I will certainly try to cover as many as I can. In any case, I can't be held responsible for anything that may happen to you because of what you may read here..
                                                         It is a good idea to wear safety goggles or safety glasses all the time when you work on your car. Long sleeves will give you a measure of protection. Wear the most comfortable clothes you have. Long hair? put it under a hat, or wear a hair net to keep it out of the moving parts. I read an article on the web that  a guy in Kansas had his scalp ripped off by a rotating driveshaft while he was working under his car. Some parts of the car get very hot, and stay hot for quite a while after the engine is shut off. I have seen cars with parts of the exhaust system glowing red hot after the car has been run only a short distance. Don't touch the hot parts. Let things cool off before you work on them. Wear gloves if necessary,some of the parts of the car are as sharp as a razor!  A cup of gasoline has the same potential explosive force as a stick of dynamite! It also can cause burns to your eyes or skin. Don't screw around with it if you are at all clumsy, stupid, stoned, drunk, or unlucky. If you spill some, clean it up at once. Dispose of rags in a closed metal container. If you are working on a car with a pressurized fuel system, relieve the pressure before you loosen any hoses. Work in a well ventilated place. Breathing gasoline fumes will make you stupid, and dead.
That pretty green stuff in your cooling system of the RADIATOR is poisonous. It can kill your kids, your pets, and you! It tastes sweet and looks pretty and green, so kids and pets will drink it if you leave it out. It also gets very hot when the engine is running and the system builds up enough pressure to spray scalding hot coolant everywhere when you open the radiator cap. The normal pressure for a cooling system is about 14-17 psi, and the normal operating temperature is near the boiling temperature of water. If the engine has been running, be very careful when you open the cap. Cover it with a rag and open it slowly to the first detent to give it a chance to relieve the pressure before you remove it the rest of the way. It is also a good idea to turn your face away, just in case... Best: don't open the radiator cap until the engine has cooled off completely. Don't get under the car. Block the wheels. Work on level ground. Make sure that the park brake is set securely. If your car has an automatic transmission, make sure it is in PARK. If it has a manual transmission, make sure it's in NEUTRAL and BLOCK THE WHEELS, in front and in back of the tire. Tires can explode, don't put too much air in them. Wheels can have sharp edges and rusty spots. Sometimes the steel wires from the belts in the tire will come out of the rubber, stabbing you when you run your hand over it. Back injuries are common because of poor lifting techniques, lift with your legs, not your back..
