SAFETY Handle Chemical Products Safely Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used with your machine include such items as lubricants, electrolyte, coolants, paints, and adhesives. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques. Check the MSDS before you start any job using a hazardous chemical. Then follow the correct procedures and use recommended equipment. See your authorized dealer for MSDS. SA-309 Dispose of Waste Properly Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment and ecology.
Potentially harmful waste used with HITACHI equipment includes such items as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and battery. When draining fluid, use a leakproof container with a capacity larger than the drained fluid volume to receive it. Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source. Inquire on the proper way to dispose of harmful waste such as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and battery from your local environmental or recycling center. SA-226 S-31
