Important Safety Information (Continued)
Welder Safety (Continued)
Electric arc welding operations cause sparks and heat metal to temperatures
that can cause severe burns! Use protective gloves and clothing when performing
any metal working operation. Take all precautions described in this manual to reduce the possibility
of skin and clothing burns.
•
Make sure that all persons in the welding area are protected from heat, sparks, and ultraviolet rays. Use
additional face shields and flame resistant barriers as needed.
•
Never touch work pieces until completely cooled.
Heat and sparks produced during electric arc welding and other metal working
operations can ignite flammable and explosive materials! Take all precautions
described in this manual to reduce the possibility of flames and explosions.
•
Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks
from starting a fire. Welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and
openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
•
Take precautions to be sure that flying sparks and heat do not cause flames in hidden areas, cracks, behind
bulkheads, etc.
Fire and explosion hazard! Do not weld on containers or pipes that contained
flammable / combustible materials or gases.
Arc welding closed cylinders or containers such as tanks or drums can cause
explosion if not properly vented! Verify that any cylinder or container to be welded
has an adequate ventilation hole, so that expanding gases can be released.
•
Keep your head out of the welding fumes.
•
Do not perform electric arc welding operations on metals that are galvanized or cadmium plated, or contain
zinc, mercury, or beryllium without completing the following precautions:
a. Remove the coating from the base metal.
b. Make sure that the welding area is well ventilated.
c. Use an air-supplied respirator.
Extremely toxic fumes are created when these metals are heated.
The electromagnetic field that is generated during arc welding may interfere
with the operation of various electrical and electronic devices such as cardiac
pacemakers. Persons using such devices should consult with their physician prior to performing any
electric arc welding operations.
•
Route the electrode and work cables together and secure with tape when possible.
•
Never wrap arc welder cables around the body.
•
Always position the electrode and work leads so that they are on the same side of the body.
•
Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may have other health effects which are not known.
Always be sure that the welding area is secure and free of hazards (sparks,
flames, glowing metal or slag) prior to leaving. Be sure that the equipment is
turned off and electrode is removed. Be sure that cables are loosely coiled and out of the way. Be
sure that all metal and slag has cooled.
The DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE notifications and instructions in this manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that
caution is a factor which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
