Response

･If inhaled, move to fresh air and take a rest with posture easy to breathe. ･If respiratory symptoms occurs, contact a doctor. ･When feeling ill, get medical advice/attention. ･Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. ･If on skin, rinse away immediately with a large amount of water and soap. ･If skin irritation occurs, contact a doctor and get medical advice/attention. ･If exposed or concerned, get medical advice/attention. ･If dust is in eyes, immediately wash away with clean water (remove the contact lenses if possible). If irritation persists, get medical advice/attention. ･If a large amount of dust is swallowed, get medical advice/attention after ingesting plenty of water to dilute.

Storage

･Avoid sudden changes of temperature and high humidity for storage.

Disposal

･Dispose of contents/container to an approved waste disposal plant under the laws. *For safety instructions, refer to the Japan Cutting & Wear-resistant Tool Association website（http://www.jta-tool.jp/）.
