PRECAUTIONS
QUALIFIED
PEOPLE
CUTTING
can
cause
fire
or
explosion.
Hot
metal
and
sparks
blow
out
from
the
cutting
arc.
The
flying
sparks
and
hot
metal,
hot
workpiece,
and
hot
equipment
can
cause
fires
and
burns.
Check
and
be
sure
the
area
is
safe
before
doing
any
cutting.
1.
Protect
yourself
and
others
from
flying
sparks
and
hot
metal.
2.
Do
not
cut
where
flying
sparks
can
strike
flammable
material.
3.
Remove
all
flammables
within
35
ft
(10.7
m)
of
the
cutting
arc.
If
this
is
not
possible,
tightly
cover
them
with
approved
covers.
4.
Be
alert
that
sparks
and
hot
materials
from
cutting
can
easily
go
through
small
cracks
and
openings
to
adjacent
areas.
5.
Watch
for
fire,
and
keep
a
fire
extinguisher
nearby.
6.
Be
aware
that
cutting
on
a
ceiling,
floor,
bulkhead,
or
partition
can
cause
fire
on
the
hidden
side.

rays
that
can
burn
eyes
and
skin.
1.
Wear
face
protection
(helmet
or

with
correct
shade
of
filter
to
protect
your
face
and

when
cutting
or
watching.
ANSI

suggests
a
No.
9
shade
(with
No.
8
as
minimum)
for
all
cutting
currents
less
than
300
amperes.
Z49.1
adds
that
lighter
filter
shades
may
be
used
when
the
arc
is
hidden
by
the

As
this
is
normally
the
case
with
low
current
cutting,
the
shades
suggested
in
Table
1
are
provided
for
the
operators
convenience.
2.
Wear
approved

Drotection.
7.
Do
not
cut
on
closed
containers
such
as
tanks
or
drums.
8.
Connect
work
cable
to
the
work
as
close
to
the
cutting
area as
practical
to
prevent
cutting
current
from
traveling
long,
possibly
unknown
paths
and
causing
electric
shock
and
fire
hazards.
9.
Never
cut
containers
with
