TOXIC HAZARDS
SOME OF THE COMPONENTS USED IN THIS EQUIPMENT MAY INCLUDE RESINS
AND OTHER MATERIALS WHICH GIVE OFF TOXIC FUMES IF INCINERATED.
TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS IN THE DISPOSAL OF THESE ITEMS.
BERYLLIA
BERYLLIA (BERYLLIUM OXIDE) IS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOME OF
THE COMPONENTS IN THIS EQUIPMENT.
THIS MATERIAL, WHEN IN THE FORM OF FINE DUST OR VAPOR AND INHALED
INTO THE LUNGS, CAN CAUSE A RESPIRATORY DISEASE. IN ITS SOLID FORM,
AS USED HERE, IT CAN BE HANDLED SAFELY, HOWEVER, AVOID HANDLING
CONDITIONS WHICH PROMOTE DUST FORMATION BY SURFACE ABRASION.
USE CARE WHEN REMOVING AND DISPOSING OF THESE COMPONENTS. DO
NOT PUT THEM IN THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL OR DOMESTIC WASTE OR
DISPATCH THEM BY POST. THEY SHOULD BE SEPARATELY AND SECURELY
PACKED AND CLEARLY IDENTIFIED TO SHOW THE NATURE OF THE HAZARD
AND THEN DISPOSED OF IN A SAFE MANNER BY AN AUTHORIZED TOXIC
WASTE CONTRACTOR.
BERYLLIUM COPPER
SOME MECHANICAL COMPONENTS WITHIN THIS INSTRUMENT ARE
MANUFACTURED FROM BERYLLIUM COPPER. THIS IS AN ALLOY WITH A
BERYLLIUM CONTENT OF APPROXIMATELY 5%. IT REPRESENTS NO RISK IN
NORMAL USE.
THE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE MACHINED, WELDED OR SUBJECTED TO ANY
PROCESS WHERE HEAT IS INVOLVED.
IT MUST BE DISPOSED OF AS “SPECIAL WASTE.”
IT MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF BY INCINERATION.
LITHIUM
A LITHIUM BATTERY IS USED IN THIS EQUIPMENT.
LITHIUM IS A TOXIC SUBSTANCE SO THE BATTERY SHOULD IN NO
CIRCUMSTANCES BE CRUSHED, INCINERATED OR DISPOSED OF IN NORMAL
WASTE.
DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT OR FORCE DISCHARGE SINCE THIS MIGHT CAUSE
THE BATTERY TO VENT, OVERHEAT OR EXPLODE.
