*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:USE RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED
    RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING, BRAZING OR SOLDERING IN CONFINED SPACE OR
    WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW
    PEL, TLV OR STEL.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC (OR FLAME), OR BOTH, TO KEEP THE
    FUMES AND GASES BELOW PEL'S, TLV'S OR STEL'S IN BREATHING ZONE
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION, APRONS, HATS, ARM &
    SHOULDER PROTECTION, AS WELL AS DARK SUBSTANTIAL CLOTHING.
Work Hygienic Practices:WEAR HEAD AND BODY PROTECTION WHICH HELP TO
    PREVENT INJURY FROM RADIATION, SPARKS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WELDERS SHOULD NOT WEAR SHORT SLEEVE SHIRTS, SHORT PANTS OR CUTOFFS.

*  Hazards Identification  *
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ARC RAYS MAY INJURE EYES & BURN SKIN.
    LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO IRON FUMES MAY PRODUCE SIDEROSIS, WHICH IS
    GENERALLY REGARDED AS BENIGN. CHROMIUM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
    CARCINOGENIC.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS CHROMIUM AND NICKEL.
Effects of Overexposure:SHORT TERM EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUME MAY CAUSE
    DISCOMFORT, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, COUGHING, FEVER, SHORTNESS OF
    BREATH, DRYNESS, THROAT IRRITATION. ARC RAYS MAY INJURE EYES & BURN
    SKIN. LONG TERM EXPOSURE  TO WELDING FUME/DUST MAY CAUSE PULMONARY
    IRRITATION/ PNEUMOCONIOSIS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPAIRED PULMONARY
    FUNCTION OR ILLNESS MAY HAVE SYPMTOMS EXACERBATED BY IRRITANTS
    CONTAINED IN WLEDING FUMES.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:REMOVE FROM DUST OR FUME EXPOSURE. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED
    PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. SUMMON MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:THIS ALLOY IS NONCOMBUSTIBLE. TO EXTINGUISH A METAL
    POWDER FIRE, USE DRY SAND, DRY GRAPHITE OR OTHER CLASS "D" POWDER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF THIS MATERIAL IS REDUCED TO POWDER FORM,
    CAUTION MUST BE USED TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NO UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS ARE
    ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MATERIAL.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Other Precautions:USE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO CLEAR WELDING FUMES. MAKE SURE
    THAT INHALED AIR DOES NOT CONTAIN FUME CONSTITUENTS ABOVE
    PERMISSIBLE LEVELS.
