Main risks

• Inhalation of vapours and odours that may cause discomfort, irritation or headache, especially in poorly ventilated spaces.
• Skin or eye irritation from splashes or prolonged contact with the paint and associated cleaners.
• Risk of fire when using solvent-based paints or solvents near naked flames, sparks or while smoking.
• Slips, trips or falls due to wet floors, spills or the use of unstable ladders.
• Inhalation of dust when sanding surfaces, especially older layers of paint.
• Damage to furniture, floors and sockets from splashes or drips.
• Accidental ingestion of product by children or pets.

Safe use

• Ventilate well during application and drying. Open windows and doors to promote air circulation.
• Wear gloves, eye protection and a suitable mask or respirator for vapours or particles, according to the product and task (application or sanding).
• Protect floors, furniture and sockets with sheeting or masking tape. Avoid painting over power outlets and switches; keep them covered and dry.
• Keep containers closed when not in use and only shake or stir as directed by the manufacturer.
• Do not smoke or use open flames or spark-producing tools near the work area.
• Use stable ladders and do not overreach. Keep the area clear to prevent trips.
• Do not mix paints, solvents or additives of different types unless expressly instructed by the manufacturer.
• Clean up any spills immediately and clearly mark the area until dry to prevent slips.
• After painting, continue ventilating until the odours have dissipated.

Storage and maintenance

• Store the paint in its original container, tightly closed, upright and with the label legible.
• Keep tins out of reach of children and pets, in a cool, dry, ventilated place, protected from frost, excessive heat and direct sunlight.
• Keep containers away from sources of heat, sparks and flames. Do not store next to food or drink.
• Periodically check older tins; if they show leaks, rust or the contents are degraded, do not use them.
• Clean tools according to the paint type (water- or solvent-based) and avoid pouring leftovers or wash water down the drain; use collection points where applicable.
• Solvent-soaked rags can ignite; spread them out to air-dry in a safe place before disposal.

Restrictions of use

• Not suitable for consumption or cosmetic use. Keep products and tools out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not use in spaces without adequate ventilation or near naked flames, open-flame heaters or while smoking.
• Do not apply on hot or damp surfaces, on surfaces with active mould, or on those in poor condition without proper preparation.
• Do not paint radiators, cookers or other surfaces exposed to high temperatures unless the product expressly states otherwise.
• Do not use on toys, cots or surfaces in direct contact with food or drinking water, unless specified on the packaging.
• People with asthma, allergies or sensitivity to odours should minimise exposure and avoid staying in the room during application and drying.
