Toxic Hazards
Beryllia
Beryllium Copper
WARNING
Some of the components used in this Device may include resins and other materials
which give off toxic fumes if incinerated. Dispose of such items appropriately.
Avertiseement
Certains des composants utilisés dans cet appareil peuvent comprendre des résines et
d’autres matériaux qui produisent des émanations toxiques lorsqu’ils sont incinérés.
Éliminez adéquatement de tels éléments.
Beryllia (beryllium oxide) is used in the construction of some of the components in this
equipment.
This material, when in the form of fine dust or vapor and inhaled into the lungs, can cause
a respiratory disease. In its solid form, as used here, it can be handled safely, however,
avoid handling conditions which promote dust formation by surface abrasion.
Use care when removing and disposing of these components. Do not put them in the
general industrial or domestic waste or dispatch them by post. They should be separately
and securely packed and clearly identified to show the nature of the hazard and then
disposed of in a safe manner by an authorized toxic waste contractor.
CAUTION
Some mechanical components within this instrument are manufactured from beryllium
copper. Beryllium copper represents no risk in normal use. The material should not be
machined, welded or subjected to any process where heat is involved.
Beryllium copper must NOT be disposed of by incineration. Beryllium copper must be
disposed of as “special waste” per local regulations.
