Fumes from the normal use of some welding products can contain significant quantities of components such as chromium and manganese - which can lower the 5.0 mg/m3 maximum exposure guideline for general welding fume. BEFORE USE, READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) FOR THIS PRODUCT AND SPECIFIC INFORMATION PRINTED ON THE PRODUCT CONTAINER.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Certicates of Conformance are available on our website at www.lincolnelectric.com

T E S T R E S U LT S
Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and diffusible hydrogen levels were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to conrm by qualication testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
