SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This safety alert symbol indicates that a potential personal injury hazard is present. The symbol
is usually used with a signal word (e.g., WARNING) which designates the degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
The signal word WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
The signal word NOTICE indicates a situation which can cause damage to the product, other
personal property and/or to the environment, or cause the product to operate improperly.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and signal word is used in safety messages throughout
this manual and on safety labels on this product.
All safety messages that follow have WARNING level hazards. Failure to
comply could result in death or serious injury.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Always apply this product in an open, well ventilated area. This
product should not be applied in an enclosed area.
• If the product is swallowed, contact a doctor or a poison control center. Do not induce vomiting.
Drink a glass of water.
• Always wear protective eyewear, rubber gloves and protective clothing when preparing the surface
and when applying the product.
• Always read and comply with the safety labels on all containers. Do not remove or deface the
container labels.
• Always read and comply with the solvent manufacturer’s recommendations for proper use and
handling of solvents. Do not use gasoline or other highly volatile fluids for cleaning.
• Keep out of reach of children. This product contains polyurethane and 30% xylene. For further
precautionary and handling information, review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). For a copy
of the MSDS, call 1-800-477-5847.
All messages that follow have NOTICE level hazards. Failure to comply could
result in property damage.
• HERCULINER bonds to skin, clothing and metal surfaces quickly and is very difficult to remove
when dry. Avoid getting any residue on your skin, painted surfaces and clothing. Use xylene (Xylol)
or acetone immediately to remove any residue, and then wash the area with soap and water.
• If HERCULINER is allowed to dry on hands or skin, soak in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes,
gently scrubbing affected area. Then liberally apply a skin moisturizing lotion. HERCULINER will
usually come off within 2-3 days.
