Gases released during charging are explosive. Never use naked flames or allow sparks near charging or recently charged batteries. BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUIDS (polyalkylene glycols) - See Fire. Combustible. Splashes to the skin and eyes are slightly Irritating. Avoid skin and eye contact as far as possible. Inhalation vapour hazards do not arise at ambient temperatures because of the very low vapour pressure. BRAKE AM) CLUTCH LININGS AM) PADS - See Legal Aspects. These Items contain asbestos, which If Inhaled may cause lung damage and In some cases, cancer. The normal handling and fitting of these Items should not cause any hazard, but any drilling, grfndfng or filing of friction materials may produce asbestos dust, and should only be carried out under strictly controlled conditions. The dust In brake drums etc. contains very little asbestos bat care should be taken to avoid Inhalation of this dust (hiring servicing of brakes and clutches. The use of dna cleaning units, vacuus cleaning or damp wiping Is preferred to the use of air jets for'blowing-outV The dust stadM tir collected In a sealed 1c bag and disposed with according to laws and regulations. BRAZING - See Welding. CHEMICAL MATERIALS - GENERAL - See Legal Aspects. I- Chemlcalmaterials such as solvents, sealers, adhesives, paints, resin foams, battery acids, antifreezes,'brake, fluids, oils and grease Mould always be used with caution and stored and handled with care. They may be toxic, harmful, corrosive. Irritant or highly Inflaamable and give rise to hazardous fumes and dusts. The effects of excessive exposure to-chemicals s may be Immediate or delayed; briefly experienced or permanent; cumulative; superficial; life threatening; or may reduce life-expectancy. July 1983 HFM - 005828 DO'S Do remove chemical materials from the skin and clothing as soon as practicable after soiling. Change heavily soiled clothing and have it cleaned. Do carefully read and observe hazard and precaution warnings given on material containers (labels) and In any accompanying leaflets, posters or other Instructions. Material health and safety data sheets can be obtained from Manufacturers. Oo organise work practices and protective clothing to avoid soiling of the skin and eyes; breathing vapours/aerosols/dusts/fumes; Inadequate container labelling; fire and explosion hazards. Do wash before job breaks, before eating, smoking, drinking or using toilet facilities when handling chemical materials. Do keep work areas clean, uncluttered and free of spills. Do store according to national and local regulations. Do keep chemical materials out of the reach of children. DO MOTS Do not mix chemical materials except under the manufacturers Instructions; some chemicals can form other toxic or harmful chemicals; t give off toxic or harmful fumes; be explosive when mixed together. Do not spray chemical materials, particularly those based on solvents. In confined spaces e.g. when people are Inside a vehicle. Do not apply heat or flame to chemical materials except under the manufacturers' instructions. Some are highly InfTiinhle : and some mqy release toxic or harmful fumes. Do not leave containers open. Fumes given off can build up to toxic, harmful or explosive concentrations. Some fumes are heavier than air and will accumulate In confined areas, pits etc. Do_not transfer chemical materials to unTaEelled containers. Do not clean hands or clothing with chemical materials. Chemicals, particularly solvents and fuels will dry the skin and may cause irritation with dermatitis. Some can be absorbed through the skin In toxic or harmful quantl ties. Do not use emptied containers for other materials except when thqr have been cleaned under supervised conditions. FORD FIESTA '84 ONWARDS: SECTION 05-3
