SAFETY
SA-27
AVOID HEATING NEAR PRESSURIZED
FLUID LINES
•
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to
yourself and bystanders.
•
Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch
near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable
materials.
•
Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when
heat goes beyond the immediate flame area. In-
stall temporary fireresistant guards to protect
hoses or other materials before engaging in
welding, soldering, etc..
SA-030

REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR
HEATING
•
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is
heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch. If
inhaled, these fumes may cause sickness.
•
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
•
Do all such work outside or in a well-ventilated
area. Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
•
Remove paint before welding or heating:
1. If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust.
Wear an approved respirator.
2. If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove strip-
per with soap and water before welding. Remove
solvent or paint stripper containers and other
flammable material from area. Allow fumes to
disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or
heating.
