1-7. CLEANING AGENTS
WARNING
DO NOT use diesel fuel, gasoline, or benzene (benzol) for cleaning.
DO NOT SMOKE when using cleaning solvent. NEVER USE IT NEAR AN OPEN
FLAME. Be sure there is a fire extinguisher nearby and use cleaning solvent
only in well-ventilated places.
USE CAUTION when using cleaning solvents. Cleaning solvents evaporate
quickly and can irritate exposed skin if solvents contact skin. In cold weather,
contact of exposed skin with cleaning solvents can cause frostbite. Drycleaning
Solvent (P-D-680, Type III) is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles and
gloves; use only in a well-ventilated area; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and
clothes; and do not breathe vapors. Keep away from heat or flame. Never
smoke when using solvent; the flashpoint for Type III drycleaning solvent is
200° F (93° C). Failure to do so may result in injury or death to personnel.
If personnel become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, immediately get fresh air
and medical help. If solvent contacts skin or clothes, flush with cold water. If
solvent contacts eyes, immediately flush eyes with water and get immediate
medical attention.
When cleaning grease buildup or rusty places, use a cleaning solvent. Then
apply a thin coat of light oil to affected areas.
