Flush eyes with large amounts of water, get medical attention .
Wash area well with soap and water .
Seek medical help if large quantities of material have been ingested .
Various health hazards may occur if high concetntrations of the saw blade metal dust or fume are inhaled or
ingested:
TCT Saw Blades are made from non-combustible metals .
SECTION 5: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Steel products in then form shipped do not present a health hazard . However, subsequent operation s such as
cutting, grinding, welding may cause a release of dust or fumes which may cause some of the ingredients to
change to a form which could affect workers if they are exposed to levels above the PEL and TLV listed in Section 2
.
Emergency first aid
SECTION 4: FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
Remove to fresh air . Seek medical attention as appropriate .
