COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Improper handling or maintenance of compressed
gas cylinders and regulators can result in serious injury or
death. Do not use a cylinder or its contents for anything other
than its intended use.
1.
Only use inert or nonflammable gas with the welding unit, such
as Carbon Dioxide, Argon or Helium with the welding unit.
1.1
Never use flammable gases, as they will ignite and may
result in an explosion or fire that can cause death or injury.
2.
Do not attempt to mix gases or refill a gas cylinder. Exchange
a cylinder or have it refilled by a professional service.
3.
Do not deface or alter the name, number or other markings
on a cylinder. Do not rely on a cylinder's colour to identify the
contents. Do not connect a regulator to a cylinder that
contains a gas that the regulator was not designed to handle.
4. Do not expose a cylinder to excessive heat, sparks, slag,
flame or any other heat source.
4.1 A cylinder exposed to temperatures above 130 °F will
require water spray cooling. This method may not be
compatible with electric welding units due to the
hazard of electrocution.
5.
Do not expose a cylinder to electricity of any kind.
6.
Do not attempt to lubricate a regulator. Always change a
cylinder carefully to prevent leaks and damage to the
cylinder's walls, valve or safety devices.
7.
Gases in the cylinder are under pressure. Protect the
cylinder from bumps, falls, falling objects and harsh
