Welding Safety
WARNING: DO NOT strike an arc close to the gas bottle.
WARNING: DO NOT lift the welder with a gas bottle attached.
WARNING: DO NOT use a welder for pipe thawing.
WARNING: AVOID unintentional arcing of the welder. Switch off the welder when not in use.
IMPORTANT: Use of welding machines creates powerful magnetic fields. This may disturb the
operation of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker wearers should consult a doctor before using
a welding machine.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload a mains circuit. Check that your mains wiring is capable of
delivering the required current safely. If unsure consult a professional electrician before use.
• Welding produces toxic fumes and can reduce oxygen levels in the work area. Always
work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling welding fumes, use a suitable respirator where
appropriate
• Some metal parts may have zinc, lead, cadmium or other coatings. Attempting to weld
through these coatings can produce highly toxic fumes. Always remove all coatings before
welding
• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat or eyes whilst welding, STOP IMMEDIATELY
and seek fresh air
• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light. To prevent eye damage, ALWAYS use
an approved welding face mask. Under no circumstances look directly at the arc
• The light produced when arc welding can be attractive to look at, especially to children.
Always prevent other people from viewing the arc welding light with unprotected eyes
• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect suitable
screening to protect them from the light / glare
• Always replace the welder face mask glass as soon as it shows any signs of wear or
damage
• To prevent skin damage, ALWAYS wear a suitable fire-proof long sleeved jacket, heat proof
gloves, and cap. Keep covered up
• Always remove any flammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches) from your
clothing before welding
• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby when welding
• Sparks generated while welding can ignite flammable materials easily in the welding
area. So it is important to remove flammable materials before commencing welding
• Only weld when the work area and all workpieces are dry
• Do not weld sealed containers (e.g. fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums). The heat generated
from welding can cause sealed containers to burst without warning
• Be aware of transferred heat. Metal parts can conduct heat away from the work area and
cause ignition of flammable materials
• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining. Allow to cool
completely before handling, or leaving unattended
• Never weld where flammable gases, liquids or dust are present
• Ensure that there is always a responsible person nearby to alert you to any fire, or to call
help in an emergency
• Workpieces with burred edges can damage the torch cable. Always ensure the torch cable
will not be damaged as it moves over a surface
Wire feed
• Caution: The tip of welding wire can be very sharp, and is fed with adequate force to
puncture skin
• Keep the welding machine switched off until you are ready to begin welding. Never point
the torch towards people or animals
