ceases. Seek medical attention if the symptoms do not diminish
or if the you experiences nausea, dizziness or malaise.

COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Improper handling or maintenance of compressed gas
cylinders and regulators can result in serious injury or death. Do
not use a cylinder or its contents for anything other than its
intended use.
Consult the safety instructions on the cylinder or provided by your gas
supplier.
1. Do not deface or alter the name, number or other markings on a
cylinder. Do not connect a regulator to a cylinder that contains a gas
that the regulator was not designed to handle.
2. Do not expose a cylinder to excessive heat, sparks, slag, flame or
any other heat source.
3. Always change a cylinder carefully to prevent leaks and damage to
the cylinder’s walls, valve or safety devices.
4. Gases in the cylinder are under pressure. Protect the cylinder from
bumps, falls, falling objects and harsh weather. A punctured
cylinder under pressure can become a lethal projectile. If a cylinder
is punctured, do not approach until all pressure is released.
4.1 Protect the valve and regulator. Damage to either can result in
regulator’s explosive ejection from the cylinder.
