WARNING
Solvent cleaners can be flammable, poisonous
and cause burns. Examples of solvent cleaners are
carbon tetrachloride, emulsion-type cleaners and
petroleum-based cleaners. To avoid serious
personal injury when you use solvent cleaners,
you must carefully follow the manufacturer's
product instructions and these procedures:
Wear safe eye protection.
Wear clothing that protects your skin.
Work in a well-ventilated area.
Do not use gasoline, or solvents that contain
gasoline. Gasoline can explode.
You must use hot solution tanks or alkaline
solutions correctly. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
When you apply some silicone gasket materials,
small amounts of acid vapor are present. To
prevent serious personal injury, ensure that the
work area is well ventilated. If the silicone gasket
material gets into your eyes, flush them with
water for 15 minutes. Have your eyes checked by
a physician as soon as possible.
