When applying grease to the ball screws and linear guide, take the following precautions.
WARNING
Precautions when handling grease:
· Inflammation may occur if this gets in the eyes.
Before handling the grease, wear your safety goggles to ensure the grease will not
come in contact with the eyes.
· Inflammation may occur if the grease comes into contact with skin. Be sure to wear
protective gloves to prevent contact with skin.
· Do not take orally or eat. (Eating will cause diarrhea and vomiting.)
· Hands and fingers might be cut when opening the container, so use protective
gloves.
· Keep out of the reach of children.
· Do not heat the grease or place near an open flame since this could lead to sparks
and fires.
Emergency Treatment:
· If grease gets in the eyes, wash liberally with pure water for about 15 minutes and
consult a physician for treatment.
· If grease comes in contact with the skin, wash away completely with soap and
water.
· If taken internally, do not induce vomiting but promptly consult a physician for
proper treatment.
