Actions after fire
When handling a machine which has been
damaged by fire or been exposed to intense heat,
the following protective measures must be followed:
Use thick, protective gloves made of rubber and
wear goggles.
Never touch burnt components with your bare
hands in order to avoid contact with melted
polymer materials. First wash thoroughly with
plenty of lime water (a solution consisting of
calcium hydroxide, that is slaked lime in water).
