1. Safety
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury. The possible ha-
zards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in
the text.
Breathing welding fumes and gases can harm your
health. Welding requires good ventilation. If ventilation is
impossible, such as when welding in a confined space,
use an air-supplied respirator.
