INGESTION (SWALLOWED):
ASPIRATION HAZARD. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL PHYSICIAN, POISON CONTROL
CENTER OR THE WD-40 SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-324-7596 IMMEDIATELY.
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. REMOVE CONTACT LENSES IF PRESENT AFTER THE
FIRST 5 MINUTES AND CONTINUE FLUSHING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION
DEVELOPS AND PERSISTS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION (BREATHING):
IF IRRITATION IS EXPERIENCED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IF IRRITATION OR OTHER SYMPTOMS DEVELOP AND PERSIST.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. IF SWALLOWED, MAY BE ASPIRATED AND CAUSE
LUNG DAMAGE. MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT
IRRITATION.
INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION/SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED:

| 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUITABLE (AND UNSUITABLE) EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
USE WATER FOG, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE OR FOAM. DO NOT USE WATER JET
OR FLOODING AMOUNTS OF WATER. BURNING PRODUCT WILL FLOAT ON THE SURFACE AND
SPREAD FIRE.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL:
CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. KEEP AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES AND OPEN FLAMES.
EXPOSURE OF CONTAINERS TO EXTREME HEAT AND FLAMES CAN CAUSE THEM TO RUPTURE
OFTEN WITH VIOLENT FORCE. VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL ALONG
SURFACES TO REMOTE IGNITION SOURCES AND FLASH BACK. A VAPOR AND AIR MIXTURE
CAN CREATE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD IN CONFINED SPACES. COMBUSTION WILL PRODUCE
OXIDES OF CARBON OXIDES, SMOKE FUMES, AND UNBURNED HYDROCARBONS.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH
WATER. USE SHIELDING TO PROTECT AGAINST BURSTING CONTAINERS.
| 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (SEE SECTION 8). ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES
OF IGNITION AND VENTILATE AREA.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT/CLEANUP:
LEAKING CANS SHOULD BE PLACED IN A PLASTIC BAG OR OPEN PAIL UNTIL THE
PRESSURE HAS DISSIPATED. CONTAIN AND COLLECT LIQUID WITH AN INERT ABSORBENT
AND PLACE IN A CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. CLEAN SPILL AREA THOROUGHLY. REPORT
SPILLS TO AUTHORITIES AS REQUIRED.
| 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS OR
AEROSOLS. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS,
PILOT LIGHTS, HOT SURFACES AND OPEN FLAMES. UNPLUG ELECTRICAL TOOLS, MOTORS
AND APPLIANCES BEFORE SPRAYING OR BRINGING THE CAN NEAR ANY SOURCE OF
ELECTRICITY. ELECTRICITY CAN BURN A HOLE IN THE CAN AND CAUSE CONTENTS TO
BURST INTO FLAMES. TO AVOID SERIOUS BURN INJURY, DO NOT LET THE CAN TOUCH
BATTERY TERMINALS, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ON MOTORS OR APPLIANCES OR ANY
OTHER SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY. WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER
HANDLING. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN. DO NOT PUNCTURE, CRUSH OR INCINERATE CONTAINERS, EVEN WHEN
EMPTY.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE:
STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA, AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
DO NOT STORE ABOVE 120 DEG. F OR IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. U.F.C (NFPA 30B)
LEVEL 3 AEROSOL. STORE AWAY FROM OXIDIZERS.
