WARNING
FIRE HARD
•
Open flames and smoking are strictly forbidden.
•
Continuously check if the ambient atmosphere is nonexplosive.

The area is well ventilated.
o
The materials and equipment used are suitable for use under
explosive conditions.
o
Only non-sparking tools are used.
o
Anti-static gloves and clothes are used.
o
