SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Avoid breathing of dust created by cutting, sanding, grinding or machining. Damaged product can break apart during use and
cause serious injury to face or eyes. Check product for damage such as cracks or nicks prior to use. Replace if damaged.
Always wear eye and face protection when working at sanding or grinding operations or when near such operations. Avoid
release to the environment. Combustible dust may form by action of this product on another material (substrate). Dust
generated from the substrate during use of this product may be explosive if in sufficient concentration with an ignition source.
Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces because of the potential for secondary explosions.
