4 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV) AND SOURCE: Twist Drills & Taps are cobalt - molybdenum - vanadium coated, machined, and heat treated metal tools. An extremely small amount of particulate containing cobalt, molybdenum or vanadium from the contact surface may be released during intermittent tool use. The low amount of coating released and the small wear surface make short term exposure at the TLV highly unlikely. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Used tooling may be re-coated several times before it reaches end of life. Guhring recommends returning the tooling for recoating as many times as practical and then recycling the metal tool appropriately at end-of-useful-life. No potential ecological hazards are known. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Used tooling may be re-coated several times before it reaches end of life. Guhring recommends returning the tooling for recoating as many times as practical and then recycling the metal tool appropriately at end-of-useful-life. 14. TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION TRANSPORTATION-SHIPPING: The coating on twist drills and taps does not classify the tooling for any hazard class per USDOT regulations. To our knowledge the tooling to which this coating is applied is not a hazardous material. Always ship tools in accordance with 49 CFR, IATA, ICAO, UN regulation, or other local regulation that may be required for the base tool material. 15. REGULATORY INFORMATION SARA 313 Notification is not required because the cobalt, vanadium and molybdenum content of the coating are below the threshold reporting value. Reporting requirements may vary based upon other facility requirements. 16. SDS INFORMATION Environmental Health & Safety Information: EDITION DATE: APPROVED BY: Don Rancic NOTICE: The information and recommendations set forth are made in good faith and are believed to be accurate at the date of preparation. Guhring Corporation makes no warranty expressed or implied. = Not Applicable Drills & Taps Page 4 of 4

FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA ************************* FLASH POINT: None FIRE POINT: None ************************* V. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION ************************* WE DO NOT CONSIDER THE COATING IN THE FORM IT IS SOLD TO CONSTITUTE A PHYSICAL HAZARD OR A HEALTH HAZARD. SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONS SUCH AS ABRADING, MELTING, WELDING, CUTTING OR PROCESSING IN ANY OTHER FASHION, A TITANIUM NITRIDE COATED OBJECT, MAY PRODUCE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS DUST OR FUMES WHICH CAN BE INHALED, SWALLOWED, OR COME IN CONTACT WITH THE SKIN OR EYES. THE DUST OR FUME CREATED BY THIS SUBSEQUENT PROCESSING WILL CONSIST OF EXTREMELY MINUTE PARTICLES OF TITANIUM NITRIDE TOGETHER WITH ARTICLES OF MATERIAL FROM THE COATED OBJECT (SUBSTRATE MATERIAL). USERS OF COATED TOOLS SHOULD CHECK MSDS SHEETS FOR SUBSTRATE MATERIAL FOR POSSIBLE HEALTH HAZARD EFFECTS FROM MATERIAL OF COATED OBJECT. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation EMERGENCY FIRST AID: Remove to fresh air, if condition continues, consult physician. Eye Contact Flush well with running water to remove particulate. Get medical attention. Skin Contact Brush off excess dust. Wash area well with soap & water. Ingestion Seek medical help if large quantities of material have been ingested. EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE: No toxic effects would be expected from exposure to the solid form of Titanium Nitride coated tools. Prolonged, repeated exposure to fumes or dusts generated during heating, cutting, brazing or welding may or may not cause adverse health effects associated with the listed constituents in excess of OSHA permissible exposure limits established in 29 CFR Subpart Z. (See Section II).

6 ************************* V. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION (CONT'D) ************************* EXPOSURE LIMITS: IMPORTANT: Section II lists specific ingredients and permissible exposure limits. Determine actual exposure by industrial hygiene monitoring. POSSIBLE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE TO DUST, WELDING, FUME AND GASES: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: Metallic taste; nausea, tightness of chest; fever; irritation of eyes, nose, throat and skin; loss of consciousness/death due to welding gases or lack of oxygen. LONG TERM EXPOSURE: There are no adverse effects from Titanium Nitride coated products in their solid form. Adverse effects may or may not result from long-term (chronic) exposure to dust, fume, gases, etc. that occur by way of subsequent operations on the Titanium Nitride coated product. We believe there are no reliable scientific studies which show that workers exposed to operations upon Titanium Nitride coated products suffer increased incidence of lung cancer or other disease because of exposure to Titanium Nitride. Some studies would associate elements from various substrate materials (material the coated object is made of) with the potential for neurologic, pulmonary, respiratory, skin or other disease. Chromium, cobalt and nickel in various chemical compounds have been identified as suspect human carcinogens by the I.A.R.C., N.T.P. Annual Report. Users of Titanium Nitride coated products should check MSDS sheets of substrate material for possible health hazard effects from material of coated object. AGGRAVATION OF PREEXISTING RESPIRATORY OR ALLERGIC CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR IN SOME WORKERS. ************************* VI. REACTIVITY DATA ************************* STABILITY: INCOMPATIBILITY: HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Chemically Stable Strong Acids, Strong Oxidizing Agents Metallic Oxides ************************* VII. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES ************************* STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF RELEASE OR SPILL: N/A WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Solids - Sale as Scrap for Reuse Dust, etc. - Follow Federal, State and Local Regulations Regarding Disposal ************************* VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION ************************* VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: General - Recommended (keeping airborne concentration of dust and fumes below ACGIH TLV'S) Local - As Required PERSOL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Respiratory Protection: If fumes, misting or dust condition occurs and TLV as indicated in Section II is exceeded, provide NIOSH approved respirators. Eye Protection: Recommend approved safety glasses or goggles when working with dusty material. Gloves: As Required Other Clothing or Equipment: As Required ************************* IX. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ************************* USE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES TO PREVENT ACCUMULATIONS OF DUSTS AND TO KEEP AIRBORNE DUST CONCENTRATIONS AT A MINIMUM. THIS MATERIAL IS POTENTIALLY CONTAMITED WITH COATINGS SUCH AS OILS FOR PRESERVATIVES AND OTHER CONTAMINTS. IF THE MATERIAL IS CONTAMITED, SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS (SUCH AS PROCESS CONTROL, AND PERSOL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT APPROPRIATE TO THE TURE OF THE SUSPECTED CONTAMINTS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID RESULTING EXPOSURES WHEN HANDLING, CUTTING (THERMAL OR MECHANICAL) AND/OR HEATING OR MELTING.
