Welding on Painted Areas
CAUTION
Hazardous fumes are generated when paint is heated when welding, soldering, or using a torch.
The use 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.
