Handle Chemical Products Safely
 Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause serious
injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used with your
machine include such items as lubricants, coolants, paints,
and adhesives.

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides specific details on
chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety
procedures, and emergency response techniques.

Check the SDS before you start any job using a hazardous
chemical. That way you will know exactly what the risks
are and how to do the job safely. Then follow procedures
and use recommended equipment.
 See your authorized dealer for SDS’s (available only in
English) on chemical products used with your machine.
Dispose of Waste Properly

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used
with HITACHI equipment includes such items as oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.

Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead someone
into drinking from them.

Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
 Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can
damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regulations
may require a certified air conditioning service center to
recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.
 Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste
from your local environmental or recycling center, or from
your authorized dealer.
