except usage

English translation: restriction does not apply to normal usage of product

English term or phrase: except usage
I am translating an MSDS. In section 1 of this sheet there are the following sentences:


‘’Product Description: Polyoxymethylene Copolymer, Acetal copolymer
Product Usage (Restriction): Extrusion, Injection (Except usage)’’


The complete document can be viewed here: http://tinyurl.com/oo3vecw


It seems to me that this phrase - ,,except usage’’ - is incomplete. Does anyone have a clue what kind of ‘’usage’’ is meant? Usage by an individual consumer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Selected answer:restriction does not apply to normal usage of product
Explanation:
I think this refers to the restriction which does not apply to the normal usage of the product which is logical, right?

treatment


Explanation:
One meaning of usage is 'treatment.' So, it may mean that further treatment should not be done on the product.

except for accepted practices


Explanation:
This document seems to have been translated by a non-native speaker. The word "usage" is sometimes used with the meaning of "accepted practice".

IOW, you can use it for whatever purpose if according to an established practice.
