3. Wear thick clothes that do not expose the skin. Ultraviolet or infrared light can burn skin
with sufficient exposure.
4. Do not wear clothing that can hold hot debris or sparks such as pant cuffs, shirt pockets or
boots. Choose clothing that has flaps over pockets or wear clothing to cover the openings
such as pant legs over the boots or an apron over the shirt.
5. Gloves should contain an insulating lining to protect against an electric shock.
6. Rubber soled footwear or electrically insulated work boots are recommended while
working with a welding unit. The non- skid sole is will also help maintain footing and
balance during work.
6.1 Select boots with steel toe protection to prevent injury from falling objects.
RESPIRATORS
1. Respiratory protection is needed when ventilation is not sufficient to remove welding fumes
or when there is risk of oxygen deficiency.
1.1. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator when working on materials that produce dust or
particulate matter.
2. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated or while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing
injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe (See Fumes and Gases).
3. The user can take the additional precaution of informing another person in the work area of
the potential danger, so that person can watch for indications that the user is suffering from
oxygen deprivation.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal injury or
damage to the tool.
1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
2. Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with the moving parts of a
tool. Keep long hair covered or bound.
3. Remove all jewelry or metal items from your person before welding. Metal items may
connect to the welding unit's electrical circuit, causing an injury or death.
4. Do not overreach when operating the tool. Proper footing and balance enable better control in
unexpected situations.
5. Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or
against your body may lead to personal injury.
6. Do not wear any personal grooming products that are flammable, such as hair preparations,
perfume or cologne with an alcohol base.
7. Remove any combustibles, such as butane lighters or matches, from your person before
doing any welding. Hot welding sparks may light the matches or ignite leaking lighter fuel.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly,
you can suffer serious personal injury.
Welding produces sparks, molten slag, intense white light, plus infrared and ultraviolet light. A
cooling bead can eject chips or fragments of slag. Any of these can cause direct harm to the
eyes and skin of the welder or bystanders.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specific function. Do not
modify or alter this tool or use it for an unintended purpose.
