Caution
WARNING: PROTECT yourself and others. Read and understand this information.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your health.
HEAT RAYS (infrared radiation) from flame or hot metal can injure eyes.
Before use, read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and your employer's safety practices.
Keep your head out of fumes.
Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the flame, or heat source, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area.
Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection.
