Handle Chemical Products Safely; Waste Disposal - Hitachi ZW 100-G Workshop Manual

HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY

•
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause
serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used
with your machine include such items as lubricants,
coolants, paints, and adhesives.
•
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides
specific details on chemical products: physical
and health hazards, safety procedures, and
emergency response techniques.
•
Check the MSDS before you start any job using a
hazardous chemical. That way you will know ex-
actly what the risks are and how to do the job
safely. Then follow procedures and use recom-
mended equipment.
•
See your authorized dealer for MSDS's (available
only in English) on chemical products used with
your machine.
DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
•
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the en-
vironment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste
used with HITACHI equipment includes such items
as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
•
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do
not use food or beverage containers that may
mislead someone into drinking from them.
•
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain,
or into any water source.
•
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air
can
•
damage the Earth's atmosphere. Government
regulations may require a certified air conditioning
service center to recover and recycle used air
conditioning refrigerants.
•
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of
waste from your local environmental or recycling
center, or from your authorized dealer.
