=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: ARC/HEAT RAYS CAN INJURE &
    IRRITATE. SKIN: ARC RAYS CAN BURN. INHALATION: DIZZINESS, NAUSEA,
    DRYNESS, IRRITATION OF NOSE & THROAT. ELECTRIC SHOCK: CAN KILL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: ARC/HEAT RAYS CAN INJURE & IRRITATE.
    SKIN: ARC RAYS CAN BURN. INHALATION: DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, DRYNESS,
    IRRITATION OF NOSE & THROAT. ELECTRIC SHOCK: CAN KILL.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUES RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN RED
    CROSS. INHALATION: IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. IF NOT
    BREATHING, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF PULSE IF NOT
    DETECTABLE, BEGIN EXTERNAL HEART MASSAGE. IN CASES OF ELECTRICAL
    SHOCK DISCONNECT & TURN OFF POWER. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL
    CASES.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Fire Fighting Procedures:SEE ANSI Z49.1 "SAFETY IN WELDING & CUTTING"
    FOR FIRE PREVENTION & PROTECTION INFORMATION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NON-FLAMMABLE. WELDING ARCS & SPARKS CAN
    IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE & FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. FUMES/GASES
    CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEARING. TRAIN
    WELDER TO KEEP HEAD OUT OF FUMES.
Other Precautions:TAKE AN AIR SAMPLE INSIDE WELDER'S HELMET, IF
    WORN/WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE TO DETERMINE COMPOSITION/QUANTITY OF
    FUMES/GASES TO WHICH WORKERS ARE EXPOSED. WELDING FUMES/GASES
    CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPL Y. DON'T TOUCH LIVE ELECTRICAL PARTS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:USE RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED
    RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING, BRAZING, OR SOLDERING IN CONFINED SPACE OR
    WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE <TLV.
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENTILATION, LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC, OR BOTH,
    TO KEEP FUMES/GASES <TLV.
Protective Gloves:WELDER'S
Eye Protection:FACE SHIELD W/FILTER LENS  (SEE SUPP)
Other Protective Equipment:ARM PROTECTORS, APRONS, HATS, SHOULDER
    PROTECTION, & HELMET PROVIDE PROTECTIVE SCREENS & FLASH GOGGLES.
Work Hygienic Practices:TRAIN WELDER TO KEEP HIS HEAD OUT OF FUMES, NOT
    TO TOUCH LIVE ELECTRICAL PARTS & TO INSULATE HIMSELF FROM WORK &
    GROUND.
Supplemental Safety and Health
USED FOR OXYGEN-ACETYLENE WELDING PROCESSES. WHEN WEARING FACE SHIELD
    START W/DARK SHADE & THEN GO TO NEXT LIGHTER SHADE. WHEN ELECTRODE
    IS CONSUMED THE FUME & GAS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS ARE DIFFERENT  IN
    PERCENT FORM. THIS WELDING ELECTRODE CONTAINS 13.75% COVERING/FLUX
    & 86.25% OF CORE WIRE/STRIP.
