SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
For industrial or professional use only. Avoid breathing of dust created by 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. 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.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
No special storage requirements.
