WARNING
Dry cleaning solvent P-D-680 (safety or Stoddards solvent) is potentially dangerous. Avoid repeated and prolonged
breathing of vapors and skin contact with the liquid. Do not use near open flame, arcing equipment or other ignition
sources. Always wear eye protection and protective clothing. The flash point of P-D-680 is 100 to 138 deg. F (30 to
59 deg. C).
Death or serious injury could occur if compressed air is directed against the skin. Do not use compressed air for
cleaning or drying unless the pressure is/has been reduced to 30 psi (2.11 kg/cm2) or less. When working with
compressed air always use chip guards, eye protection, and other personal protective equipment.
