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 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific
details on chemical products: physical and health hazards,
safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.
• Check the MSDS 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 MSDS’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.
