36

Always exercise extreme care and observe

the recommended hygiene rules when hand-

ling mineral oil products. Details of these

handling regulations can be found in infor-

mation provided by the health authorities.

Storage and Handling

• Always store lubricants where they cannot

be accessed by children.

• Never store lubricants in open or unlabelled

containers.

Fresh Oil

• Apart from taking the usual care and obser-

ving hygiene rules, there is no need to take

any special precautions when handling

fresh oil.

Waste Oil

• Waste oil can contain harmful contaminants

which may cause skin cancer, allergies and

other illnesses.

Attention!

Oil is a toxic substance. Should you swallow

any oil, do not try to vomit. Contact a doctor

immediately.

Protect your hands with barrier cream or

wear gloves to avoid contact with the skin.

Wash off any traces of oil thoroughly with

soap and hot water.

• Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and

water.

• Use special cleaning agents to clean any

dirt off your hands.

• Never wash oil residue from your skin with

petrol, diesel fuel or paraffin.

• Avoid skin contact with any oily clothing.

• Do not keep any oily rags in your pockets.

• Wash soiled clothing before wearing it

again.

• Ensure that any oily footwear is disposed

of in the proper manner.

5.14 Lubricating the

Machine

Please read the section entitled “Handling

of Lubricants” carefully before lubricating

the machine.

The machine must be lubricated regularly in

order for it to remain serviceable. Regular

lubrication also contributes towards exten-

ding the service life of your machine.

After it has been washed using a high-

pressure hose or steam cleaned, the ma-

chine should always be lubricated using a

grease gun.

5.15 Handling of

Lubricants

Please ensure that you read the following

instructions as well as the relevant infor-

mation. This also applies to any of your

employees who handle lubricants.

Hygiene

Lubricants do not present a health hazard

provided they are used for their specified

purpose.

In the case of prolonged skin contact, lubri-

cants - especially low-viscosity oils - may

remove the natural layer of fat contained in

the skin, resulting in dryness and possible

irritation .

It is important to take extreme care when

handling waste oil as it may contain other

irritants.

Vapours given off by cleaning agents and

oils are also a potential health hazard.

You should therefore not carry any oily cloths

around. Change soiled work clothing as

soon as possible.
