Handle Chemical Products Safely
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause serious
injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used with your
machine include such items as lubricants, electrolyte,
coolants, paints, and adhesives.
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides specific details on
chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety
procedures, and emergency response techniques.
Check the SDS before you start any job using a hazardous
chemical. Then follow the correct procedures and use
recommended equipment.
See your authorized dealer for SDS.
Dispose of Waste Properly
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used
with HITACHI equipment includes such items as oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid, filters, and battery.
When draining fluid, use a leakproof container with a
capacity larger than the drained fluid volume to receive it.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
Inquire on the proper way to dispose of harmful waste
such as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and battery
from your local environmental or recycling center.
