Note to Physicians:                 In an accident involving           
                                    high-pressure equipment, this      
                                    product may be injected under the  
                                    skin. Such an accident may result  
                                    in a small, sometimes bloodless,   
                                    puncture wound. However, because of
                                    its driving force, material        
                                    injected into a fingertip can be   
                                    deposited into the palm of the     
                                    hand. Within 24 hours, there is    
                                    usually a great deal of swelling,  
                                    discoloration, and intense         
                                    throbbing pain. Immediate treatment
                                    at a surgical emergency center is  
                                    recommended.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTORLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION                         
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:                                                 
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3),        
applicable exposure limits, job activities, and other substances in the 
work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal   
protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not 
adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the    
personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The user     
should read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied    
with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited   
time or under certain circumstances.                                    
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:                                                   
Use in a well-ventilated area.                                          
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT                                           
Eye/Face Protection:                No special eye protection is       
                                    normally required. Where splashing 
                                    is possible, wear safety glasses   
                                    with side shields as a good safety 
                                    practice.                          
Skin Protection:                    No special protective clothing is  
                                    normally required. Where splashing 
                                    is possible, select protective     
                                    clothing depending on operations   
                                    conducted physical requirements and
                                    other substances in the workplace. 
                                    Suggested materials for protective 
                                    gloves include: Neoprene, Nitrile  
                                    Rubber, Silver Shield, Viton.      
Respiratory Protection:             No respiratory protection is       
                                    normally required.                 
If user operations generate an oil mist, determine if airborne          
concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for mineral oil
mist. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate        
protection for the measured concentrations of this material. For        
air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.          
Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where 
air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
