a.
Do not weld on coated metals such as galvanized, lead or cadmium
plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area. The
coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic
fumes during the welding process.
b.
Do not weld, cut or heat lead, zinc, cadmium, mercury, beryllium or
similar metals without seeking professional advice and inspection of
the welding area' s ventilation. These metals produce extreme toxic
fumes, which can cause discomfort, illness and death.
c.
Do not weld or cut near chlorinated solvents or in areas that
chlorinates solvents can enter. The heat or ultraviolet light of the arc
can separate chlorinated hydrocarbons into a toxic gas (phosgene)
that can poison or suffocate the user or bystanders.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) can interfere with electronic devices such as
pacemakers. Anyone with a pacemaker should consult with their doctor before
working with or near an arc welding unit. The following steps can minimize the
effects of electromagnetic fields.
1.
Twist or tape cables together and prevent coils.
2.
Do not drape cables on your body.
3.
Keep the welding power source and cables as far away from the user as
practical. A minimum of 24 in. is recommended.
4.
Connect the workpiece clamp as close to the weld as possible, but lay the
electrode and workpiece cables away from the user.
5.
Avoid long and regular bursts of energy while welding. Apply the
electrode in short strokes and intermittently. This will prevent the
pacemaker from interpreting the signal as a rapid heartbeat.
6.
Do not allow the electrode to touch the metal while welding.
7.
Wrap MIG gun and ground cable together whenever possible.
8.
Keep MIG gun and ground cables on the same side of your body.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is connected
to a properly grounded outlet.
1.
Do not come into physical contact with the welding current circuit. The
welding current circuit includes:
a.
the workpiece or any conductive material in contact with it;
