If the ground connection is not secure, you run the risk of receiving a serious electric shock. ¡ Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil, so that no oil gets into your eyes or onto your skin, otherwise inflammation can result. Furthermore, do not drink the oil under any circumstances, as it can cause vomiting and diarrhoea. Keep the oil out of the reach of children. - i - TN-8400, 8700 (English) TL-8400 (English)
