=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:UNCLASSIFIED WELDING FUMES=5MG/M3 PEL
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES	  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THESE ELECTRODES HAVE NO KNOWN
    TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OTHER THAN CAUSING ALLERGIC REACTIONS IN
    SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS. USER GENERATED DUSTS AND FUMES MAY ON
    CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYES PRODUCE MECHANIC AL IRRITATION. CHRONIC
    EXPOSURES COULD CAUSE DERMATITIS. EXCESSIVE INHALATION POSE A LONG
    TERM HEALTH HAZARD.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:IARC CONCLUDED THAT NICKEL COMPOUNDS
    WERE CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS & NICKEL METAL IS POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC
    TO HUMANS.
Effects of Overexposure:EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES MAY CAUSE METAL FUME
    FEVER WITH SYMPTOMS OF CHILLS, FEVER, NAUSEA, COUGH, DRY THROAT,
    WEAKNESS, MUSCLE ACHES, AND A SWEET OR METALLIC TASTE IN THE MOUTH.
    PROLONGED OR REPEATE D EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN WALKING,
    WEAKNESS OR CRAMPS IN THE LEGS, HOARSENESS, MEMORY LOSS, SKIN
    SENSITIZATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING CHRONIC SKIN, EYE OR
    RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED IF INDIVIDUALS ARE
    REPEATEDLY OVEREXPOSED TO FUMES AND DUST. NICKEL IS A KNOWN
    SENSITIZER AND MAY PRODUCE ALLERGIC REACTIONS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING
    EYELIDS OPEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN:
    WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER TO REMOVE ANY METALLIC PARTICLES. IF A
    RASH DEVEL OPS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH
    AIR. GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION IF NOT BREATHING. GET
    MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS OF
    INGESTION ARISE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VACUUM OR SHOVEL ANY SPILLED MATERIAL INTO A
    SUITABLE CONTAINER. ALLOY WASTES ARE NORMALLY COLLECTED TO RECOVER
    METAL VALUES. HOWEVER, IF DISPOSAL IS NECESSARY, DISPOSE IN
    ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STA TE OR LOCAL REGULATIONS.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:WEAR GLOVES AND FLAME RETARDANT
    CLOTHING WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING. DO NOT EXPOSE SKIN TO
    RADIATION WHEN HOT CUTTING OR WELDING.
Other Precautions:PROVIDE PROTECTIVE SCREENS TO SHIELD OTHERS. WHEN
    ELECTRODES AND FLUXES ARE CONSUMED, THE FUME AND GAS DECOMPOSITION
    PRODUCTS GENERATED ARE DIFFERENT IN FORM FROM THE INGREDIENTS
    LISTED. NEW COMPOUNDS  NOT IN THE ELECTRODES MAY FORM.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS NECESSARY WHEN
    EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS ARE EXCEEDED DURING
    WELDING WITH THESE ELECTRODES. USE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR IN
    CONFINED SPACES. USE ONLY NIOSH APP ROVED RESPIRATORS I/A/W 29 CFR
    1910.134.
Ventilation:USE LOCAL EXHAUST WHEN WELDING. MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW
    ACCEPTABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. CONFINED SPACES MAY REQUIRE A SCBA.
Protective Gloves:WELDERS LEATHER GLOVES
Eye Protection:OSHA APPROVED GOGGLES/FACE SHIELD W/LENS
Other Protective Equipment:FLAME RETARDANT CLOTHING. DO NOT EXPOSE SKIN

Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING.
    LAUNDER CONTAMINATIED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WELDING AND HOT CUTTING FUMES & GASES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY.
    THEIR COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY ARE DEPENDENT ON THE METAL BEING
    WELDED, THE PROCEDURES, PROCESSES AND THE TYPE OF WIRE OR
    ELECTRODES	USED. OTHER INFLUENCING FACTORS ARE THEPRESENCE OF
