Model #RB3-065/035 3 R20140519

Granular material hazards:

Your model #RB3-065/035 VERSABALL® Gripper contains

redundant filtering mechanisms to prevent dust particles from

entering the atmosphere. In normal use, the model #RB3-065/035

VERSABALL® Gripper emits trace amounts of dust into the

atmosphere. These levels have been measured to be well below

the OSHA recommended limits for respirable dust and nuisance

dust, as documented in the material’s MSDS.

If your gripper overinflates, violently collides with a sharp object,

is used beyond its intended service life, or experiences some other

unforeseen failure, the granular material contained within the

gripper could be released into the environment. The grains are

non-toxic and can be cleaned up with a dustpan or vacuum

cleaner. During such a failure, some nuisance airborne dust may

also be released, which in turn could lead to the unlikely but

possible event of mechanical lung irritation (silicosis). Dampening

the granular material with water spray will reduce the risk of lung

irritation during cleanup. Similarly, if grains somehow reach your

eyes, they could potentially cause mechanical eye irritation. It is

advised to wear safety glasses if you are working in very close

proximity to the gripper – especially if you choose to override

your overinflate protection. If eye irritation occurs, gently rinse

your eyes with water.
