INTRODUCTION
1-2.
A.
We
learn
by
experience.
Learning
safety
through
personal
experience,
like
a
child
touching
a
hot
stove
is
harmful,
wasteful,
and
unwise.
Let
the
experience
of
others
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
weld
ing
and
cutting
are
described
in
this
manual.
Research,
devel
opment,
and
field
experience
have
evolved
reliable
equipment
and
safe
installation,
operation,
and
servicing
practices.
Acci
dents
occur
when
equipment
is
improperly
used
or
main
tained.
The
reason
for
the
safe
practices
may
not
always
be
given.
Some
are
based
on
common
sense,
others
may
require
technical
volumes
to
explain.
It
is
wiser
to
follow
the
rules.
Read
and
understand
these
safe
practices
before
attempting
to
install,
operate,
or
service
the
equipment.
Comply
with
these
procedures
as
applicable
to
the
particular
equipment
used
and
their
instruction
manuals,
for
personal
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
others.
Failure
to
observe
thete
safe
practices
may
cause
serious
in
jury
or
death.
When
safety
becomes
a
habit,
the
equipment
can
be
used
with
confidence.
These
safe
practices
are
divided
into
two
Sections:
1
-
General
Precautions,
common
to
arc
welding
and
cutting;
and
2
-
Arc
Welding
(and
Cutting)(only).
Reference
standards:
Published
Standards
on
safety
are
also
available
for
additional
and
more
complete
procedures
than
those
given
in
this
manual.
They
are
listed
in
the
Standards
Index
in
this
manual.
ANSI
Z49.1
is
the
most
complete.
The
National
Electrical
Code,
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
Administration,
local
industrial
codes,
and
local
in
spection
requirements
also
provide
a
basis
for
equipment
in
stallation,
use,
and
service.
GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
Burn
Prevention
Wear
protective
clothing
-
leather
(or
asbestos)
gauntlet
gloves,
hat,
end
high
safety-toe
shoes.
Button
shirt
collar
and
pocket
flaps,
and
wear
cuffless
trousers
to
avoid
entry
of
sparks
and
slag.
Wear
helmet
with
safety
goggles
or
glasses
with
side
shields
underneath,
appropriate
filter
lenses
or
plates
(protected
by
clear
cover
glass).
This
is
a
MUST
for
welding
or
cutting,
(and
chipping)
to
protect
the
eyes
from
radiant
energy
and
flying
metal.
Replace
cover
glass
when
broken,
pitted,
or
spattered.
See
1-3A.2.
Avoid
oily
or
greasy
clothing.
A
spark
may
ignite
them.
Hot
metal
such
as
electrode
stubs
and
workpieces
should
never
be
handled
without
gloves.
Medical
first
aid
and
eye
treatment.
First
aid
facilities
and
a
qualified
first
aid
person
should
be
available for
each
shift
unless
medical
facilities
are
close
by
for
immediate
treatment
of
flash
burns
of
the
eyes
and
skin
burns.
Ear
plugs
should
be
worn
when
working
on
overhead
or
in
a
confined
space.
A
hard
hat
should
be
worn
when
others
work
overhead.
Flammable
hair
preparations
should
not
be
used
by
persons
intending
to
weld
or
cut.
B.
Toxic
Fume
Prevention
Adequate
ventilation.
Severe
discomfort,
illness
or
death
can
result
from
fumes,
vapors,
heat,
or
oxygen
enrichment
or
depletion
that
welding
(or
cutting)
may
produce.
Prevent
them
with
adequate
ventilation
as
described
in
ANSI
Stan
dard
Z49.1
listed
1
in
Standards
index.
NEVER
ventilate
with
oxygen.
Lead
-,
cadmium
.,
zinc
-,
mercury
-.
and
beryllium
-
bearing
and
similar
materials,
when
welded
(or
cut)
may
produce
harmful
concentrations
of
toxic
fumes.
Adequate
local
exhaust
ventilation
must
be
used,
or
each
person
in
the
area
at
well
as
the
operator
must
wear
an
air-supplied
respirator.
For
beryllium,
both
must
he
used.
Metals
coated
with
or
containing
materials
that
emit
toxic
fumes
should
not
be
heated
unless
coating
is
removed
from
the
work
surface,
the
area
is
well
ventilated,
or
the
operator
wears
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Work
in
a
confined
space
only
while
it
is
being
ventilated
and,
if
necessary,
while
wearing
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Gas
leaks
in
a
confined
space

dampness
or
sweat
can
not
be
avoided.
Sweat,
sea
water,
or
moisture
between
body
and
an
electrically
HOT
part
-
or
grounded
metal
-
reduces
the
body
surface
electrical
resistance,
enabling
dangerous
and
possibly
lethal
currents
to
flow
through
the
body.

controls
provide
the
means
of
determin
ing
the
rate
at
which
welding
wire
is
fed
into
the
weld.
Rotating
the
LEFT
WIRE
SPEED
control
clockwise
in
creases
the
rate
at
which
wire
is
fed
from
the
Left
Gun.
Rotating
the
RIGHT
WIRE
SPEED
control
clockwise
in
creases
the
rate
at
which
wire
is
fed
from
the
Right

The
scales
which
surround
the
WIRE
SPEED
controls
are
calibrated
in
increments
of
ten
ranging
from
0
to
100
percent.
Due
to
this
percentage
calibration,
it
should
be
noted
that
if
these
scales
are
used
to
select
the
wire
feed
speed
settings,
only
a
percentage
of
the
range
in
use
is
being
selected
and
not
an
actual
wire
feed
speed
rate.
When
a
WIRE
SPEED
control
is
set
at
0,
wire
feeds
at
the
slowest
speed;
when
set
at
100,
the
wire
feeds
at
the
fastest
speed.

BURNBACK
CONTROLS
(Optional)
-
The
burnback
circuitries
in
this
control
provide
a
means
of
keeping
the
welding
wires
from
sticking
to
the
workpiece
after
the
corresponding
gun
switches
are
released.
The
Left
BURNBACK
control
keeps
weld
cur
rent
present
on
the
left
welding
wire
and
the
Right
BURNBACK
control
keeps
weld
current
present
on
the
right
welding
wire
from
0
to
15
cycles
after
the
cor
responding
wire
has
stopped
feeding.
This
delay
action
permits
the
welding
wires
to
burn
back
to
a
point
where
they
neither
stick
to
the
workpiece
nor
the
contact
tubes.
If
welding
wire
sticks
to
the
contact
tube,
rotate
the
corresponding
BURN
BAC
K
control
counterclockwise.
If
welding
wire
sticks
to
the
workpiece,
rotate
the
corresponding
