HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY
•
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause
serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used with
your machine include such items as lubricants, coolants,
paints, and adhesives.
•
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides
specific details on chemical products: physical and
health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency
response techniques.
•
Check the MSDS before you start any job using a
hazardous chemical. That way you will know exactly
what the risks are and how to do the job safely. Then
follow procedures and use recommended equipment.
•
See your authorized dealer for MSDS
’
s (available
only in English) on chemical products used with your
machine.

DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
•
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste
used with HITACHI equipment includes such items as oil,
fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
•
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not
use food or beverage containers that may mislead
someone into drinking from them.
•
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or
into any water source.
•
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can
damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regula-
tions may require a certified air conditioning service
center to recover and recycle used air conditioning
refrigerants.
•
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of
waste from your local environmental or recycling
center, or from your authorized dealer.
