4. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work
before turning on the tool.
5. Never leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an elec-
trical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before
leaving.
6. Always unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before perfor-
ming and inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
7. Prevent eye injury and burns. Wearing and using the approved personal
safety clothing and safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
a. Wear the approved safety impact eye goggles with a welding helmet
featuring at least a number 10 shade lens rating.
b. Leather leggings, fire resistant shoes or boots should be worn when using
this product. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any
clothing that can catch and hold molten metal or sparks.
c. Keep clothing free of grease, oil, solvents, or any flammable substances. Wear
dry, insulating gloves and protective clothing.
d. Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons,
cape, sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding
and cutting procedures.
e. When welding/cutting overhead or in confined spaces, wear flame resistant
ear plugs or ear muffs to keep sparks out of ears.
8. Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the work
area.
a. When possible, move the work to a location well away from combustible;
protect the combustibles with a cover made of fire resistant material.
b. Remove or make safe all combustible materials for a radius of 35 feet (10
meters) around the work area. Use a fire resistant material to cover or
block all open doorways, windows, cracks, and other openings.
c. Enclose the work area with portable fire resistant screens. Protect
combus tible walls, ceilings, floors, etc., from sparks and heat with fire
resistant covers.
d. If working on a metal wall, ceiling, etc., prevent ignition of combustibles on
the other side by mobbing the combustibles to a safe location. If relocation
of combustibles is not possible, designate someone to serve as a fire watch,
equipped with a fire extinguisher, during the welding process and for at least
one half hour after the welding is completed.

e. Do not weld or cut on materials having a combustible coating or
combustible internal structure, as in walls or ceilings, without an
approved method for eliminating the hazard.
f. Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materials. Keep
a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.
g. After welding or cutting, make a thorough examination for evidence of
fire. Be aware that easily visible smoke or flame may not be present for
some time after the fire has started. Do not weld or cut in atmospheres
containing
h. Dangerously reactive or flammable gases, vapors, liquids, and dust.
i. Provide adequate ventilation in work areas to prevent accumulation of
flammable gases, vapors, and dust. Do not apply heat to a container that
has held an unknown substance or a combustible material whose contents,
when heated, can produce flammable or explosive vapors. Clean and purge
containers before applying heat. Vent closed containers., including castings,
before preheating, welding, or cutting.
WARNING!
INHALATION HAZARD:
Welding Produce TOXIC FUMES.
Exposure to welding exhaust fumes can increase the risk of deve-
loping certain cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and lung can-
cer. Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding
exhaust fumes are:
a. Early onset of Parkinson's Disease
b. Heart disease
c. Ulcers
d. Damage to the reproductive organs
e. Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach
f. Kidney damage
g. Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia
Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear a respirator approved by NIOSH to
protect against the fumes produced to reduce the risk of developing the above illnes-
ses.
