Cleaning
Solvents can form explosive vapour/air mixtures. Dust can form explosive
dust/air mixtures. An explosive atmosphere in conjunction with an ignition
source can lead to an explosion.
Solvents are highly flammable. Storage of flammable solvents in the
equipment is therefore not permitted.
Explosions or fires can lead to serious or fatal injuries.
Do not carry out cleaning work with solvents when the ventilation is
switched off. (Vapour/air mixtures are extracted from the work area via the
ventilation system and the formation of an explosive atmosphere is
prevented)
Only introduce the approved types and quantities of solvents into the work
area.
Do not spray or apply cleaning agents over large areas.
During cleaning work, no ignition sources may be present or introduced into
the work area.
Immediately collect and wipe up any spilled or accidentally released solvent.
If solvents have been released in the work area when the ventilation system
was not in operation, ventilate the work area thoroughly before switching on
the ventilation system.
Contact with solvents may cause damage to health.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment if necessary.
• Observe the safety data sheets of the substances used.
• Avoid emission of hazardous substances.
