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 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides
specific details on chemical products: physical and
health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency
response techniques.
• Check the MSDS before you start any job using a
hazardous chemical. Then follow the correct
procedures and use recommended equipment.
• See your nearest Hitachi dealer for MSDS.

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 batteries.
• 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
batteries from your local environmental or recycling
center.
