CAUTION
Danger caused by ionising radiation!
When the source is removed, the unshielded source must be handled at short
time. An increased exposure to radiation may lead to damage to health.
Hold the source only with pliers.
Keep the source far from the body.
Ensure that no persons are in the field of radiation during the work.
