Safety Safety regulations Safety data: R410A Refrigerant data Toxicity Contact with skin If sprayed, the refrigerant is likely to cause frost burns. If absorbed by the skin, the danger is very limited; it may cause a slight irritation, and the liquid is degreasing.
Page 10
Safety General precautions Do not inhale concentrated vapours. Their concentration in the atmos- phere should not exceed the minimum preset values and should be main- tained below the professional threshold. Being more weighty than the air, the vapour concentrates on the bottom, in narrow areas. Therefore, the exhaust system must work at low level.

It is rec- Contact with skin ommended to follow usual personal hygiene measures, including wash- ing the exposed skin with soap and water several times a day. It is also recommended to wash your overalls at least once a week.
