Safety instructions for methanol
There is no risk of you coming into contact with methanol provided that you
handle the device and fuel cartridges in accordance with the instructions.
WARNING!
Methanol is highly flammable!
You receive methanol in safe, tested EFOY fuel cartridges, which prevent the
contents from escaping if used correctly.
The storage and transport of methanol may be subject to statutory
regulations.
Fore more information, refer to the safety sheet on methanol, available on
our website at http://www.efoy-pro.com
WARNING!
Methanol is toxic when inhaled, swallowed or allowed to come into contact
with the skin. Inhaling and swallowing methanol or allowing it to come into
contact with your skin carries a serious risk of irreversible damage.
Call a doctor immediately if you have direct physical contact with the
substance, in the event of an accident, or if you feel unwell, and show the
doctor the fuel cartridge label, the methanol safety data sheet or the user
manual.
