Drycleaning solvent (P-D-680) is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective
goggles and gloves; use only in a well-ventilated area; avoid contact with skin,
eyes, and clothes and do not breathe vapors. Keep away from heat or flame.
Never smoke when using solvent; the flash point for type I drycleaning solvent
is 100°F (38°C) and for type II is 140°F (60°C). Failure to do so may result in
