Special safety instructions

Acetylene and Maxigas 400 are extremely flammable, colourless, heavier than air, and have a
perceptible odour.
Cartridges, acetylene and oxygen tanks must not be handled by children.
Store the cartridges and gas tanks in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke when working near the tanks.
Keep the cartridges and gas tanks away from ignition sources.
Check the screw joints' tightness using foaming substances (e.g., soapy water, leak detection
spray).
Close the tank valves during malfunctions and after work.
Do not use, transport and store the cartridges or bottles in a horizontal position. When cartridges
lie flat, liquid Maxigas 400 enters the gas cartridge valve and the burner nozzle, and that leads
to malfunctions.
Acetylene bottles must be stood upright when removing gas from them or with their valve 40 cm
higher than the the foot of the bottle in order to avoid liquid acetone also being dragged out of
the bottle.
If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.
Read label before use.
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present
and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Avoid breathing in dust/smoke/gas/mist/vapour/aerosol.
IF THEY ARE BREATHED IN: Go out into the fresh air and stay quietly in one in position which
eases breathing.
Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely.
In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so.
Keep the pressure reducer free of grease and oil.
DANGER WARNINGS! Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated!
Causes serious eye irritation! May cause drowsiness or dizziness! May cause or
intensify fire; oxidiser!
