to this device (Protective Glasses, Protective Gloves, Protective Dust Mask).
• When working with a polyamide/rubber powder, avoid inhalation or swallowing
and contact with skin and eyes.
WARNING!
First aid when working with PA/FLEXA powder:
• If the PA/FLEXA powder is inhaled, move to a place with fresh air and gargle thoroughly with
plenty of water. If coughing develops, contact a physician.
• If you eat a PA/FLEXA powder, rinse your mouth with water and drink 1-3 glasses of water to
dilute stomach contents. If necessary, contact your doctor.
• If the PA/FLEXA powder gets in your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water. In case of
persisting eye irritation, contact a physician.
