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 weather. A punctured cylinder under pressure can become a lethal
projectile. If a cylinder is punctured, do not approach until all pressure is released.
7.1 Protect the valve and regulator. Damage to either can result in regulator's explosive
ejection from the cylinder.
8. Always secure a gas cylinder in a vertical position to a welding cart or other fixed support
with a steel chain, so it cannot be knocked over.
8.1 Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.
8.2 A safe distance from welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks
or flame.
8.3 Do not use as an improvised support or roller.
9. Always place the cylinder cap securely on the cylinder unless it is in use or being serviced.
10. Do not use a wrench or hammer to open a cylinder valve that cannot be opened by hand.
Notify your supplier for instructions.
11. Do not modify or exchange gas cylinder fittings.
12. Close the cylinder valve and immediately remove the faulty regulator from service for
repair, if any of the following conditions exist:
12.1 Gas leaks externally.
12.2 Delivery pressure continues to rise with the downstream valve closed.
12.3 The gauge pointer does not move off the stop pin when pressurized or fails to return
to the stop pin after pressure is released.
13. Do not attempt to make regulator repairs. Send faulty regulators to the manufacturer's
designated repair centre.
14. Do not weld on the gas cylinder.
15. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the
cylinder valve.
16. Compressed gas cylinders must not be located in a confined space with the person welding
to prevent the possibility of leaks displacing the oxygen.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Do not come into physical contact with the welding current circuit. The welding current
circuit includes:
1.1 The workpiece or any conductive material in contact with it.
1.2 The ground clamp.
1.3 The welding wire.
1.4 Any metal parts on the welding torch.
1.5 The output terminals.
2. Insulate yourself from the electrical current and ground using electrical insulating mats or
covers big enough to prevent physical contact with the workpiece or ground.
3. Connect the ground clamp as close to the welding area on the workpiece as practical to
prevent welding current from traveling along an unexpected path and causing an electric
shock or fire hazard.
