HE AT/FREE Z I NG HAZARDS
WAR NING:
• When under press ure, refrigerants become liquid. When accidentally
released from the liquid state they evaporate and become gaseous. As they
evaporate,they can freeze or frostbite tiss ue very rapidly. When these gases
are breathed, the lungs can be seriously damaged. If s ufficient quantities are
taken into the lungs, death can result. If you believe you have exposed your lungs to
released refrigerant, seek immediate medical assistance.
• Refrigerants can cause frostbite and severe burns to exposed skin. Refrigerants are
under press ure and can be forcibly sprayed in all directions ifcareless ly handled. Avoid
contact with refrigerants and always wear hand coverings and make certain other
exposed skin is properly covered.
• Refrigerants can also severely injure or cause permanent blindness to unprotected
eyes. Refrigerants are under pressure and can be forcibly sprayed in all directions if
carelessly handled. Avoid contactwith refrigerants and always wear safetygoggles.
