Many of the materials involved in car repair are flammable. Some materials will release toxic or harmful gases when burned; others, like technical rubbers, under the influence of fire or strong heat, form a very active hydrofluoric acid. See section "Technical rubbers".
If any material burns or becomes very hot, handle it very carefully. Wear protective clothing. Dispose of such materials in accordance with local regulations.
Immediately after use, decontaminate protective clothing or dispose of it.
When storing or handling combustible materials or solvents, fire safety requirements must be observed, especially near electrical equipment and welding areas.
Create conditions that minimize the risk of fire before using electrical or welding equipment.
When using welding or heating equipment, a fire extinguisher must be available in the work area.
