WARNING

Compressed air shall not be used for cleaning purposes except where reduced to less than 29

pounds per square inch (psi) and then only with effective chip guarding and personnel protective

equipment. Do not use compressed air to dry parts when TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE has

been used. Com-pressed air is dangerous and can cause serious bodily harm if protective means

or methods are not observed to prevent chip or particle (of whatever size) from being blown into

the eyes or unbroken skin of the operator or other personnel.

WARNING

Adequate ventilation should be provided while using TRICHLOROTRI-FLUOROETHANE.

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 immediately.
