Other Precautions:KEEP PRODUCT AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES, SUCH AS
HEAT, SPARKS, PILOT LIGHTS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, AND OPEN FLAMES.

Respiratory Protection:USE SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IN
CONFINED OR ENCLOSED SPACES, WHEN CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED 2100PPM
(3780MG/M3).
Ventilation:USE ONLY WITH VENTILATION SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT EXCEEDING
RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMIT BUILDUP OR BUILD UP OF EXPLOSIVE
CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR IN AIR.
