23. Use caution to avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components containing
asbestos fibers. If this dust is inhaled, it can be hazardous to your health. Components of
manufacturers' products that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake band, brake lining
assemblies, clutch plates and some gaskets. The asbestos used in these components is usually
sealed in resin or by other ways. Normal handling is not hazardous as long as the dust containing
asbestos is not generated in the air.
If the dust containing asbestos is generated, there are several general guidelines that should be
followed.
a.
Never use compressed air for cleaning.
b.
Avoid brushing or grinding of asbestos containing materials.
c.
When cleaning the machine, use wet methods or a vacuum equipped with a high efficiency
particulate air (HEPA) filter.
d.
Use an ventilating fan when performing a long time machining work.
e.
Wear the specified respirator if the dust is uncontrollable.
f.
Comply with the rules and regulations applied on the working site.
g.
Comply with the environmental rules and regulations on the disposal of asbestos.
h.
Avoid areas where asbestos particles may be in the air.
