Exclamation A/c danger notce on what not to do!

okay i just got back from the hostpital.. heres the story

i turn off my 93 civic and i heard a hissing noise coming from the evaporator. i remove my battery and i saw the suction line was kinda loose. so my dumbass self with no face hand arm nor eye protection tried to tighten the bolt and i didnt know this but the bolt was rounded out to begin with. as i was tightening it it was getting loser and i was puzzled and kept going. finnaly it rounded out to the point where the suction line will cumbust its self out of place. spraying freeon on my face and body. the only lucky thing was that i had my eyes closed when it sprayed on my face. regardless i was stupid enough to mess with it without discharging it nor were protection. i ended up with frost bites from the waste up.

when you going to work with the evaporator or anything either DISCHARGE IT OR WEAR PROTECTOIN IF YOUR ASKING FOR IT TO EXPLODE!

anyways read this over and make sure you dont end up like me.

its up to you admins if you want to sticky this or not.
I recomend for the people working on air conditioning

I kinda thought this was common sense when working on A/C.

Anyway, glad to hear you're okay.
