2 - SAFETY INFORMATION

Remove Paint Before Welding or Heating

Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by
welding, soldering, or using a torch.
Remove paint before heating:
• Remove paint a minimum of 100 mm (4 in.) from area to
be affected by heating. If paint cannot be removed, wear
an approved respirator before heating or welding.
• If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust. Wear
an approved respirator.
• If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper 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.
• Do Not use a chlorinated solvent in areas where welding
will take place.
• Do all work in an area that is well ventilated to carry toxic
fumes and dust away.
• Dispose of paint and solvent properly.

Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid Lines

Flammable spray can be generated by heating near pres-
surized 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 materi-
als. Pressurized lines can accidentally burst when heat goes
beyond the immediate flame area.
