                            IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, DIZZINESS,
                            NAUSEA, HEADACHE, LOSS OF COORDINATION AND EQUILI-
                            BRIUM, POSSIBLE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE,
                            UNCONSCIOUSNESS, AND DEATH IN CONFINED OR POORLY
                            VENTILATED AREAS.

EYE/SKIN CONTACT:           THIS PRODUCT SPLASHED IN THE EYE(S) CAN RESULT IN
                            DISCOMFORT, PAIN, AND IRRITATION. PROLONGED OR
                            REPEATED CONTACT WITH LIQUID ON THE SKIN CAN CAUSE
                            IRRITATION AND DERMATITIS.

INGESTION:                  SWALLOWING OF THE VULCANIZING FLUID MAY RESULT IN
                            IRRITATION OF THE MOUTH AND GI TRACT ALONG WITH
                            OTHER EFFECTS AS LISTED ABOVE FOR INHALATION.

                           CIAL RESPIRATION, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF
                           BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A
                           PHYSICIAN.
EYE OR SKIN CONTACT:       FLUSH EYES AND SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER (SOAP &
                            WATER FOR SKIN) FOR A MINIMUM OF 15 MINUTES WHILE
                            REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. IF
                            IRRITATION OCCURS, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. THOROUGHLY
                            CLEAN CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES BEFORE REUSE

                           LENE EXPOSURE. INCREASED SENSITIVITY OF THE HEART TO
                            ADRENALINE MAY BE CAUSE BY OVEREXPOSURE TO
                            TRICHLOROETHYLENE.

SECTION VIII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

HANDLE WITH REASONABLE CARE. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. STORE IN COOL PLACE, USING
CLOSED CONTAINERS THAT ARE LABELED IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE AND FEDERAL REGULA-
TIONS. CONCENTRATED VAPORS OF THIS PRODUCT ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL COLLECT
IN LOW AREAS. DO NOT ENTER AREAS WHERE VAPORS OF THIS PRODUCT ARE SUSPECTED UN-
LESS SPECIAL BREATHING APPARATUS IS USED AND AN OBSERVER IS PRESENT FOR
ASSISTANCE.

AVOID CONTAMINATION OF WATER SUPPLIES. HANDLING, STORAGE AND USE PROCEDURES MUST
BE CAREFULLY MONITORED TO AVOID SPILLS AND/OR LEAKS. ANY SPILL OR LEAK HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO CAUSE UNDERGROUND WATER CONTAMINATION WHICH MAY, IF SUFFICIENTLY
SEVERE, RENDER A DRINKING WATER SOURCE UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. DO NOT USE
CUTTING OR WELDING TORCHES ON CONTAINERS USED TO STORE VULCANIZING FLUID UNLESS
EMPTIED AND CLEANED.

                            SHOULD BE EVACUATED. WEAR PPE. DIKE AREA TO CONTAIN
                            SPILL. TAKE PRECAUTIONS AS NECESSARY TO PREVENT
                            CONTAMINATION OF GROUND AND SURFACE WATERS. RECOVER
                            SPILLED MATERIAL ON ABSORBENT SUCH AS SAWDUST OR
                            VERMICULITE AND SWEEP INTO APPROVED CONTAINERS FOR
                            DISPOSAL. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER. IF SPILLED INTO
                            ENVIRONMENT, NOTIFY LOCAL AND STATE OFFICIALS IN
                            ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:      CONTAMINATED ABSORBENT, SOIL, WATER, MUST BE DIS-
                            POSED OF IN A PERMITTED HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
                            FACILITY. RECOVERED LIQUIDS MAY BE REUSED, REPRO-
                            CESSED OR INCINERATED OR MUST BE TREATED IN A PER-
                            MITTED HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY. IT IS
                            YOUR DUTY TO DISPOSE OF THE CHEMICAL MATERIALS AND/
                            OR THEIR CONTAINERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CLEAN AIR
                            ACT, THE CLEAN WATER ACT, RCRA, AS WELL AS
                            APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS
                            REGARDING DISPOSAL.

SECTION X - SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:        DO NOT BREATHE VAPORS. HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS CAN

                            TRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE
                            VENTILATION. VENTILATION MUST BE SUFFICIENT TO
                            LIMIT EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE TO TRICHLOROETHYLENE BELOW
                            PERMISSIBLE LIMITS. EYE IRRITATION, DIZZINESS, AND/
                            OR DRUNKENNESS ARE SIGNS OF OVEREXPOSURE. DO NOT
                            EAT, DRINK, OR SMOKE IN WORK AREAS.
