An organic solvent like benzene, toluene or methanol can invite a chemi- cal reaction like dissolution and decomposition on the window glass, deteriorating polycarbonate in use. APPOINT LEADER WHEN WORKING WITH OTHERS q When repairing the machine or when removing and installing the work equipment, appoint a leader and follow his instructions during the operation. 2-38
