Removing paint before welding
Hazardous fumes may develop if
paint is heated by welding, solder-
ing or the use of a flame cutter.
These fumes may affect your health
if inhaled.
- Avoid inhaling potentially toxic
fumes and dust.
- Carry out such work only in the
open air or on well ventilated
premises.
- Paints and solvents must be dis-
carded in accordance with local
environmental regulations.
Remove paint prior to welding or
heating:
- When rubbing down paint, avoid
inhaling the dust.
- Wear an approved respiratory
mask.
- When using a solvent or paint
remover, remove the agent with
soap and water before any weld-
ing operations. Remove all sol-
vent or paint remover containers
and other inflammable materials
from the working area. Give the
fumes at least 15 minutes to dis-
sipate before any welding or heat-
ing.
