1.3 Warnings
1. Keep the covers closed when not processing parts through the cleaner.
2. Always wear eye protection, gloves and protective clothing when handling solvents. Do not
allow solvent to come into contact with the body. Solvent above 140°
°°
°F (60°
°°
°C) can cause
burns. With prolonged or frequent contact, solvent removes natural oils from the skin.
3. Do not inhale or take solvent internally - either could be fatal.
4. All solvents are toxic to some degree. Do not allow solvent vapors to exceed the threshold
limit value stated in Section V of the applicable OSHA Material Safety Data Sheet.
5. Never enter or lean into a degreaser. Solvent vapors will be present even if the degreaser
appears empty. Solvent vapors displace air and may cause death by asphyxiation
6. Before adding solvent, be certain that the solvent to be added is the same as the solvent
already in the cleaner.
7. Do not expose any halogenated solvent or its vapors to the high temperatures existing in
open flames or exposed electric heating elements, or the solvent may decompose to toxic or
corrosive substances.
8. Do not use solvents that have become over-contaminated. High contamination levels m
ay
r
esult in fire hazards or solvent breakdown and equipment damage.
9. Do not bring solvent into contact with highly reactive metals such as sodium, potassium and
barium. The solvent can quickly break down to form toxic and corrosive compounds.
10. Solvents can break down and become acidic when exposed over prolonged periods to
reactive metals such as magnesium, aluminum, zinc and beryllium. When cleaning parts
made of these materials, analyze the solvent frequently to determine if it has broken down.
Failure to comply with this recommendation will result in damage to the equipment and will
void the warranty covering it.
11. Do not use combustible or flammable solvents in this degreaser.
