For industrial or professional use only. Avoid breathing of dust created by sanding, grinding or machining. Do not eat, drink
or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. 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.

8.2. Exposure controls

8.2.1. Engineering controls

Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation for sanding, grinding or machining. Use general dilution ventilation and/or
local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure Limits and/or control
dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. Provide local exhaust at
process emission sources to control exposure near the source and to prevent the escape of dust into the work area. Ensure that
dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to
prevent the escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment).

8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/face protection

To minimize the risk of injury to face and eyes, always wear eye and face protection when working at sanding or grinding
operations or when near such operations. Select and use eye/face protection to prevent contact based on the results of an
exposure assessment. The following eye/face protection(s) are recommended:
Safety Glasses with side shields

Skin/hand protection

Wear appropriate gloves to minimize risk of injury to skin from contact with dust or physical abrasion from grinding or
sanding.

Respiratory protection

Assess exposure concentrations of all materials involved in the work process. Consider material being abraded when
determining the appropriate respiratory protection. Select and use appropriate respirators to prevent inhalation overexposure.
An exposure assessment may be needed to decide if a respirator is required. If a respirator is needed, use respirators as part of
a full respiratory protection program. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, select from the following respirator
