Technician Safety Information

WARNING:
^ Lengthy and repeated contact with mineral oil removes the natural oils of your skin, drying it out and causing irritation.
^ If oil has been swallowed, do not provoke vomiting, call a doctor.
^ Waste oil may contain harmful impurities which can cause skin cancer.
^ Always use suitable protection and thoroughly wash your hands and other areas of bare skin that have come into contact with the oil.

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RULES
- Avoid lengthy and repeated contact with oil, grease, etc. and especially waste oil.

- Wear protective clothing, including impermeable gloves, if possible.

- Do not put oily rags in your pockets.

- Do not wear clothes that have been soiled by oil, especially items of underwear. Clothes must be washed at regular intervals.

- Do not wear oily shoes.

- Clean open sores immediately and cover them with an adhesive bandage, sticking plaster, etc.

- Use barrier cream, part No. (45) 30 04 397. Apply it to your exposed skin before each working period so that it will be easier for you to wash oil and grease off afterwards.

- Remove oil from your face and hands, etc. by washing them thoroughly with soap and water (special skin cleansers and a nailbrush will help). Preparations containing lanolin will restore the skin's natural moisture.

- Do not use gasoline, paraffin, diesel oil, thinner or solvents to remove oil from any part of your body.

- If you notice any changes in your skin, consult a doctor without delay.

- If possible, clean the parts before starting work.

- If there is a danger of oil getting into your eyes, wear protective goggles, a visor or a face mask. Eye-washing equipment must also be readily available.
