Consider the use of only non-sparking tools Avoid contact with pure copper, mercury, silver and
brass with greater than 65% copper Do not use alloys containing more than 43% silver Operating
Danger pressure in piping should be limited to 1.5 bar (gauge) or less due to more stringent national
regulations (with maximum diameter DN25) Consider the use of flash back arrestors Solvent may
accumulate in piping systems. For maintenance activities use appropriate resistant gloves,
assess the necessity to use a respiratory filter device (specify gloves and filters for DMF or
acetone use) and wear safety goggles. Avoid breathing the vapour of the solvent. Provide
adequate ventilation For further information on safe use refer to EIGA code of practice acetylene
(EIGA Doc 123) Do not breathe gas Avoid release of product into atmosphere.

Safe handling of the gas receptacle : Refer to supplier's container handling instructions Do not allow backfeed into the
container.Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop.When moving
cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designedto transport
cylinders.Leave valve protection caps in place until the container has been secured against either
a wallor bench or placed in a container stand and is ready for use.If user experiences any
difficulty operating cylinder valve discontinue use and contact supplier.Never attempt to repair or
modify container valves or safety relief devices.Damaged valves should be reported immediately
to the supplier.Keep container valve outlets clean and free from contaminants particularly oil and
water.Replace valve outlet caps or plugs and container caps where supplied as soon as
container isdisconnected from equipment.Close container valve after each use and when empty,
even if still connected to equipment.Never attempt to transfer gases from one cylinder/container
to another.Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a
container.Do not remove or deface labels provided by the supplier for the identification of the
cylindercontents.Containers should be stored in the vertical position and properly secured to
prevent them fromfalling over.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

: Observe all regulations and local requirements regarding storage of containers Containers should
not be stored in conditions likely to encourage corrosion Container valve guards or caps should
be in place Containers should be stored in the vertical position and properly secured to prevent
them from falling over Stored containers should be periodically checked for general condition and
leakage Keep container below 50°C in a well ventilated place Store containers in location free
from fire risk and away from sources of heat and ignition Keep away from combustible materials
