(RFI) SHIELDING
(M373A2D AND
XM1005)
WARNING
Dry cleaning solvent, P-D-680, is toxic and flammable.
Always wear protective goggles and gloves, and use
only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes, and clothes, and DO NOT breathe vapors. DO
NOT use near open flame or excessive heat. The sol-
vent's flash point is 100F-138F (38C-59C). If you
become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, immedi-
ately get fresh air and medical help. If solvent contacts
eyes, immediately wash your eyes and get medical
aid.
Check RFI shielding in door openings and RFI gaskets on removable
door post. This shielding must be kept clean at all times to provide a
good bond. Ensure that jambs and thresholds are free of dust, dirt,
and grease. Use fine steel wool (Item 30, Appendix E) to remove ac-
cumulated grease and grime, then wash with dry cleaning solvent
(Item 13, Appendix E) and wipe clean.
