COMPOSITION/TOXIC HAZARDS
Under normal conditions of use, storage and handling, the T631 presents no toxic hazards,
however, in certain circumstances the following could apply:
a)
Incineration
The instrument houses NiCad batteries and these
must not be incinerated. Additionally some
of the electronic components included in the assembly are constructed with resins and other
chemicals which produce toxic fumes during incineration. It is required that the instrument is
submitted to the correct authority for disposal in accordance with local by-laws.
b)
Acidic or Caustic Compounds
Some of the electronic components included in the assembly, particularly the electrolytic
capacitors contain acidic compounds. In the event of any damaged items coming into contact
with the skin, the affected area should be washed with clean, cold water. In the event of eye
contamination, thoroughly irrigate with recognised eyewash and seek urgent medical
assistance.
