nor toxicity, pay special
attention
while the gas is being discharged
since metal chips due to drilling
may be blown through the opening.
b. It is recommended to cut out the
bore with the cylinder body cov·
ered with a vinyl sack since oil, etc.
may splash over through the bore
upon drilling.
(Carefully prevent the vinyl sack
from being rolled round the drill
tip.)
