Petrol
• Petrol is highly flammable and in certain conditions can cause explosions.
• Keep heat sources, sparks and flames well away from the work area.
• Always work in a well-ventilated area.
• Never use petrol as a cleaning solvent. In general, avoid handling it if not strictly neces-
sary.
• Do not use petrol for cleaning components by means of compressed air.
• Keep it well out of the reach of children.
Engine oil
• Engine oil can cause skin diseases if it repeatedly comes into contact with the skin for
prolonged periods.
• If you come into contact with engine oil, wash the affected parts as soon as possible with
soap and water.
• If it comes into contact with the eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
• If ingested, do not provoke vomiting, in order to avoid inhalation of the product. Consult
a doctor immediately. If it is thought that inhalation of the product has taken place, take
the person concerned urgently to hospital.
• Waste oil contains dangerous substances which are harmful to the environment. When
changing the oil, it is necessary to be equipped for disposing of the waste oil in accordan-
ce with the relevant law.
• Do not dispose of waste oil into the environment.
• Keep it well out of the reach of children.
Coolant
• In certain circumstances the ethylene glycol in coolant is flammable, and its flame is invisi-
ble. If ethylene glycol catches fire, the flame, although invisible, can cause serious burns.
• Avoid bringing coolant into contact with hot components. Such components could be
sufficiently hot to cause it to ignite.
• Coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause skin irritation and is poisonous if ingested.
• If coolant comes into contact with the skin, remove any contaminated clothing or foo-
twear immediately and wash promptly with soap and water. If it comes into contact with
the eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor immediately. If ingested,
do not provoke vomiting, in order to avoid inhalation of the product. Give the affected
person clean water to drink, take them to hospital urgently and show the product to the
medical staff.
• In case of exposure to high concentrations of fumes, take the affected person into an
unpolluted environment and if necessary call a doctor.
