Protect your eyes from contact with refrigerant oil. The oil can cause serious
eye injuries. Protect skin and clothing from prolonged or repeated contact
with refrigerant oil. To prevent irritation, wash your hands and clothing
thoroughly after handling the oil. Rubber gloves are recommended.
Refrigerant Hazards
Although fluorocarbon refrigerants (R-404A/R-452A and R-134a) are
classified as safe, observe caution when working with refrigerants or around
areas where they are being used in the servicing of your unit.

Refrigerant in the presence of an open flame, spark, or electrical short
produces toxic gases that are severe respiratory irritants which can cause
serious injury or possible death.

Do not inhale refrigerant. Use caution when working with refrigerant or a
refrigeration system in any confined area with a limited air supply.
Refrigerant displaces air and can cause oxygen depletion, resulting in
suffocation and possible death.

Refrigerant in a liquid state evaporates rapidly when exposed to the
atmosphere, freezing anything it contacts. Wear butyl lined gloves and
other clothing and eye wear when handling refrigerant to help prevent
frostbite.
