Only when the flammable and explosive gases and liquids in the container are reduced to a safety factor can hot work be started.

2. Before cutting, fill the water tank with clean water or use a portable water cutting machine for cutting.

3. When cutting waste oil tanks, attention should be paid to adequate ventilation to reduce the concentration of combustible gas.
