SAFETY
•
Before disposing of waste material, enquire at your local environmental or recycling facility
for instructions on proper waste disposal.
Welding on Painted Areas
CAUTION
Hazardous fumes are generated when paint is heated when welding, soldering, or using a torch.
The use of an approved respirator is recommended when welding, sanding or grinding on painted
areas to avoid the inhalation of fumes or dust.
•
It is recommended that paint be removed a minimum of 4 inches (100mm) from around
the area to be affected by heating.
•
If solvent or stripper is used, wash them off with soapy water before doing any welding.
Remove any stripper or solvent containers and other flammable material from the area.
Allow a minimum of 15 minutes for fumes to disperse before welding.
•
Do not use chlorinated solvent in areas where welding will be done. Do all work in an area
that is well ventilated to allow fumes and/or dust to disperse.
CAUTION
Do not weld, solder or use a torch close to pressurized fluid lines, that may cause them to burst.
Flammable spray can be generated by burst fluid lines resulting in severe burn injury to
yourself and bystanders.
