Subsequently Weld A-Pillar (Code: NC3BEPLANK, Acc. No.: 63 910 61) - SM63.20-D-0011-02SG

	The high voltage used for electric welding presents a lethal hazard. Risk of explosion  from welding in areas close to highly inflammable materials. Risk of injury  from weld splatter and UV-light when welding. Risk of poisoning  from inhaling welding gases	Use insulating mats. Wear protective clothing, safety glasses and a protective mask. Remove highly inflammable materials from the hazard area. Use air extraction system.	AS00.00-Z-0007-01A
	Risk of injury  caused by scraping or cutting body parts on sharp vehicle parts	Always wear protective gloves when working on or near sharp and non-deburred vehicle parts. Deburr repair panels.	AS00.00-Z-0017-01A

1. Use spot-weld cutter to cut holes on A-pillar outer section (1) next to lower hinge holder (2) of front door (areas A₁ and A₂ ).
2. Grind A-pillar outer section (1) down to bare metal around the holes (areas A₁ and A₂ ).
3. Remove shavings and milling chips.

   Never cut through 2 panel thicknesses.

   Otherwise, inert gas plug welding will no longer be possible.

   Cut through one panel thickness only.

   Observe dimensions (a, b, c, d). The edges of the hinge holder (2) act here as reference edges.

4. A-pillar outer section (1) (area B).
5. Grind inert gas plug welds down to bare metal (area B).
6. Remove shavings.
