*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:USE WELD FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED
    RESPIRATOR WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING IN A CONFINED SPACE OR
    WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR GENERAL VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE
    BELOW RECOMMENDED LIMITS.  USE ONLY NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORS.
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENTILATION WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING TO
    KEEP THE DUST, FUMES & GASES FROM THE WORKERS BREATHING ZONE
Other Protective Equipment:FLAME RETARDANT CLOTHING WHEN CUTTING,
    GRINDING OR WELDING. DO NOT EXPOSE SKIN TO RADIATION WHEN HOT
    CUTTING OR WELDING.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING.
    LAUNDER CONTAMINATIED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WELDING AND HOT CUTTING FUMES & GASES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY.
    THEIR COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY ARE DEPENDENT ON THE METAL BEING
    WELDED, THE PROCEDURES, PROCESSES AND THE TYPE OF WIRE OR
    ELECTRODESUSED. OTHER INFLUENCING FACTORS ARE THEPRESENCE OF
    CONTAMINANTS. CHLORINATED SOLVENTS MAY DECOMPOSE TO TOXIC GASES.

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SHORT TERM EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES,
    GASES OR DUST MAY RESULT IN DISCOMFORT SUCH AS DIZZINESS, NAUSEA,
    FEVER, DRYNESS AND/OR IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT AND EYES. SKIN
    SENSITIVITY MAY ALSO BE NOTED. A CUTE EXPOSURE FROM SOME TOXIC
    GASES MAYCAUSE PULMONARY EDEMA, ASPHYXIATION AND EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE
    CAN BE FATAL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL AND CHROMIUM ARE LISTED BY NTP
    AND IARC.
Effects of Overexposure:EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES MAY RESULT IN
    DISCOMFORT SUCH AS DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, FEVER, DRYNESS AND/OR
    IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT AND EYES. SKIN SENSITIVITY MAY ALSO BE
    NOTED. WATERY EYES, HEADACHE, BREA THING DIFFICULTY, FREQUENT
    COUGHING AND/OR CHEST PAINS MAY OCCUR FROM ACUTE EXPOSURE. TOXIC
    GASES CAN BE FATAL.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SOME WORKERS MAY BE AFFECTED BY A
    PRE- EXISTING CONDITION OR OTHER OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS BECAUSE OF
    THE WIDE VARIATION IN INDIVIDUAL SUSCEPTIBILITIES.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:IN CASE OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, TURN OFF POWER PRIOR TO REMOVAL
    FROM EXPOSURE AREA AND ADMINISTRATION OF FIRST AID. REMOVE FROM
    EXPOSURE AREA AND CALL FOR MEDICAL AID. ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF
    BREATHING IS D IFFICULT. IF NOT BREATHING, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE, BEGIN EXTERNAL HEART MASSAGE.
    EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUES RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Lower Limits:NOT GIVEN

Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
    FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. EVACUATE AREA. COOL
    FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:COMBUSTION OR HEAT OF FIRE MAY PRODUCE
    HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS AND VAPORS.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:CLEAN UP ANY GRINDING DUST OR WASTE RESIDUES
    AND PLACE IN SUITABLE DOT APPROVED CONTAINERS AND DISPOSE OF IN
    FULL COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. AVOID
    INHALATION AND SKIN EXPOSU RE.
*Handling and Storage  *
    CLOTHING WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING. DO NOT EXPOSE SKIN TO
    RADIATION WHEN HOT CUTTING OR WELDING.
Other Precautions:PROVIDE PROTECTIVE SCREENS TO SHIELD OTHERS. WHEN
    ELECTRODES AND FLUXES ARE CONSUMED, THE FUME AND GAS DECOMPOSITION
    PRODUCTS GENERATED ARE DIFFERENT IN FORM FROM THE INGREDIENTS
    LISTED. NEW COMPOUNDS  NOT IN THE ELECTRODES MAY FORM.
