11. Insulate the ground clamp when not connected to a workpiece to
prevent contact with any metal object.
12. Do not operate the welding machine if the electrode holder or welding
cable is wet. Do not immerse them in water. These components and the
welding machine must be completely dry before attempting to use them.
13. Do not point the electrode holder at any body part of yourself or at
anyone else.
14. Do not use a welding machine to thaw frozen pipes.
15. Insulate yourself from the work and the ground using dry insulation.
Make certain that the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of
physical contact.
16. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
17. Remove the electrode from the holder when not in use.
18. When not welding, make certain that no part of the electrode circuit is
touching the workpiece or the ground. Accidental contact can cause
overheating and create a fire hazard.
19. Maintain good ventilation of the louvers on this equipment. Good
ventilation is of critical importance for the normal performance and
service life of this equipment.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Arc welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal drops and
hot metal parts that can start fires.
1. Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible and/or flammable
materials up to 39 ft (12 metres) away from the welding machine. Hot
debris ejected during welding can land at a considerable distance away.
Solid floors of concrete or masonry is the preferred working surface.
1.1 Cover any combustible material with fire resistant covers or shields,
if it cannot be removed. The covering must be tight and should not
leave openings for sparks or ejected slag to enter.
1.2. Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible material.
Remove the combustible material before welding.
2. A combustible floor should be protected with a fire-resistant covering.
Alternatives are to spray the floor with water to keep it wet for the
duration of the welding or cover with damp sand. Care must also be
taken to avoid an electric shock when this is done. A combustible floor
directly laid onto concrete does not need to be sprayed with water.
