a. Remove dust and loose dirt with a clean, soft cloth.

Adequate ventilation should be provided while using

TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE. Prolonged breathing of vapor

should be avoided. The solvent should not be used near heat

or open flame; the products of decomposition are toxic and

irritating. Since TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE dissolves natural

oils, prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. When

necessary, use gloves which the solvent cannot penetrate.

If the solvent is taken internally, consult a physician.

b. Remove grease, fungus, and ground-in dirt with a cloth dampened (not wet)

with trichlorotrifluoroethane (item l,appx c).

c. Clean the guys by washing them; allow items to dry thorouqhly.
