WARNING ON LUBRICANTS AND GREASES ’
Avoid all prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oils, especially used oils. Used 08s contaminated
during service (e.g., engine sump oils) are more irritating and more likely to cause serious effects, including
skin cancer, in the event of gross and prolonged skin contact.
Wash skin thoroughly after work involving oil.
Protective hand cleaners may be of value provided they can be removed from the skin with water. Do not
use gasoline, paraffin, or other solvents to remove oil from the skin.
Lubricants and greases may be slightly irritating to the eyes.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact should be avoided by wearing protective clothing if necessary. Particu-
lar care should be taken with used oils and greases containing lead. Do not allow work clothing to be con-
taminated with oil. Dry clean or launder such clothing at regular intervafs.
