EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
DANGER!
FLAMMABLE AEROSOL. CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED.
IF SWALLOWED, MAY BE ASPIRATED AND CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE. MAY CAUSE EYE
IRRITATION. AVOID EYE CONTACT. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP AWAY FROM
HEAT, SPARKS AND ALL OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION:
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE NASAL AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS SUCH AS HEADACHE, DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA. INTENTIONAL
ABUSE MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL.
SKIN CONTACT:
PROLONGED AND/OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY PRODUCE MILD IRRITATION AND DEFATTING
WITH POSSIBLE DERMATITIS.
EYE CONTACT:
CONTACT MAY BE IRRITATING TO EYES. MAY CAUSE REDNESS AND TEARING.
INGESTION:
THIS PRODUCT HAS LOW ORAL TOXICITY. SWALLOWING MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL
IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND DIARRHEA. THIS PRODUCT IS AN ASPIRATION
HAZARD. IF SWALLOWED, CAN ENTER THE LUNGS AND MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL
PNEUMONITIS, SEVERE LUNG DAMAGE AND DEATH.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: NONE EXPECTED.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
PREEXISTING EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY
EXPOSURE.

| 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
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 FOR SEVERAL MORE MINUTES. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
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.
| 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
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.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
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.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
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.
| 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (SEE SECTION 8). ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES
OF IGNITION AND VENTILATE AREA. 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 | |
HANDLING:
AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. AVOID PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN. 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.
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.
