INTRODUCTION
.
We
learn
by
experience.
Learning
safety
through
personal
experience,
like
a
child
touching
a
hot
stove
is
harmful,
wasteful,
and
un
wise.
Let
the
experience
of
others
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
welding
and
cutting
are
described
in
this
manual.
Research,
development,
and
field
experience
have
evolved
reliable
equipment
and
safe
installation,
opera
tion,
and
servicing
practices.
Accidents
occur
when
equipment
is
improperly
used
or
maintained.
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
at
tempting
to
install,
operate,
or
service
the
equipment.
Comply
with
these
procedures
as
applicable
to
the
par
ticular
equipment
used
and
their
instruction
manuals,
for
personal
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
others.
Failure
to
observe
these
safe
practices
may
cause
serious
injury
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
pro
cedures
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
inspection
requirements
also
provide
a
basis
for
equip
ment
installation,
use,
and
service.
1-2.
GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
A.
Burn
PreventIon
Wear
protective
clothing
-
leather
(or
asbestos)
gauntlet
gloves,
hat,
and
high

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
im
mediate
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
per
Sons
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
Standard
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.
Ade
quate
local
exhaust
ventilation
must
be
used,
or
each
person
in
the
area
as
well
as
the
operator
must
wear
an
air-supplied
respirator.
For
beryllium,
both
must
be
us-
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
ven
tilated,
or
the
operator
wears
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Work
in
a
confined
space
only
while
it
is
being
ven
tilated
and,
if
necessary,
while
wearing
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Gas
leaks
in
a
confined
space
should
be
avoided.
Leaked
gas
in
large
quantities
can
change
oxygen
con
centration
dangerously.
Do
not
bring
gas
cyllinders
into
a
confined
space.
Leaving
confined
space,
shut
OFF
gas
supply
at
source
to
prevent
possible
accumulation
of
gases
in
the
space
if
downstream
valves
have
been
accidently
opened
or
left
open.
Check
to
be
sure
that
the
space
is
safe
before
re-entering
it.
Vapors
from
chlorinated
solvents
can
be
decomposed
by
the
heat
of
the
arc
(or
flame)
to
form
PHOSGENE,
a
highly
toxic
gas,
and
other
lung
and
eye
irritating
pro
ducts.
The
ultraviolet
(radiant)
energy
of
the
arc
can
also
decompose
trichloroethylene
and
per
chloroethylene
vapors
to
form
phosgene.
DO
NOT
WELD
or
cut
where
solvent
vapors
can
be
drawn
into
the
welding
or
cutting
atmosphere
or
where
the
radiant
energy
can
penetrate
to
atmospheres
containing
even
minute
amounts
of
trichioroethylene
or
per
chioroethylene.

momentarily,
pointing
outlet
away
from
people
and
sources
of
ignition.
Wipe
with
a
clean
lintless
cloth.
Match
regulator
to

Before
connecting,
check
that
the
regulator
label
and
cylinder
marking
agree,
and
that
the
regulator
inlet
and
cylinder
outlet
match.
NEVER
CONNECT
a
regulator
designed
for
a
particular
gas
or
gases
to
a
cylinder
containing
any
other
gas.
Tighten
connections.
When
assembling

Adapters.
Use
a
CGA
adapter
(available
from
your
sup
plier)
between
cylinder
and
regulator,
if
one
is
required.
Use
two
wrenches
to
tighten

5.
Pressurizing
Steps:
Drain
regulator
of
residual
gas
through
suitable
vent
before
opening
cylinder
(or
manifold
valve)
by
turning
adjusting
screw
in
(clockwise).
Draining
prevents
ex
cessive
compression
heat
at
high
pressure
seat
by
allowing
seat
to
open
on
pressurization.
Leave
adjusting
screw
engaged
slightly
on
single-stage
regulators.
Stand
to
side
of
regulator
while
opening
cylinder
valve.
Open
cylinder
valve
slowly
so
that
regulator
pressure
in
creases
slowly.
When
gauge
is
pressurized
(gauge
reaches
regulator
maximum)
leave
cylinder
valve
in
following
position:
For
oxygen,
and
inert
gases,
open
fully
to
seal
stem
against
possible
leak.
For
fuel
gas,
open
to
less
than
one
turn
to
permit
quick
emergency
shutoff.
Use
pressure
charts
(available
from
your
supplier)
for
safe
and
efficient,
recommended
pressure
settings
on
regulators.
Check
for
leaks
on
first
pressurization
and
regularly
there-after.
Brush
with
soap
solution
(capful
of
Ivory
Liquid*
or
equivalent
per
gallon
of
water).
Bubbles

ARC
WELDING
-
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-1,
1-2,
and
this
section.
Arc
Welding,
properly
done,
is
a
safe
process,
but
a
careless
operator
invites
trouble.
The
equipment
carries
high
currents
at
significant
voltages.
The
arc
is
very
bright
and
hot.
Sparks
fly,
fumes
rise,
ultraviolet
and
infrared
energy
radiates,
weidments
are
hot,
and
compressed
gases
may
be
us
ed.
The
wise
operator
avoids
unnecessary
risks
and
pro
tects
himself
and
others
from
accidents.
Precautions
are
described
here
and
in
standards
referenced
in
index.
A.
Burn
Protection
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-2.
The
welding
arc
is
intense
and
visibly
bright.
Its
radia
tion
can
damage
eyes,
penetrate
lightweight
clothing,
reflect
from
light-colored
surfaces,
and
burn
the
skin
and
eyes.
Skin
burns
resemble
acute
sunburn,
those
from
gas-shielded
arcs
are
more
severe
and
painful.
DONT
GET
BURNED;
COMPLY
WITH
PRECAU
TIONS.
1.
Protective
Clothing
Wear
long-sleeve
clothing
(particularly
for
gas-shielded
arc)
in
addition
to
gloves,
hat,
and
shoes
(1-2A).
As
necessary,
use
additional
protective
clothing
such
as
leather
jacket
or
sleeves,
flame-proof
apron,
and
fire-
resistant
leggings.
Avoid
outergarments
of
untreated
cotton.
Bare
skin
protection.
Wear
dark,
substantial
clothing.
Button
collar
to
protect
chest
and
neck
and
button
pockets
to
prevent
entry
of
sparks.
2.
Eye
and
Head
Protection
Protect
eyes
from
exposure
to
arc.
NEVER
look
at
an
electric
arc
without
protection.

Place
over
face
before
striking
arc.
Protect
filter
plate
with
a
clear
cover
plate.
Cracked
or
broken
helmet
or
shield
should
NOT
be
worn;
radiation
can
pass
through
to
cause
burns.
Cracked,
broken,
or
loose
filter
plates
must
be
replaced
IMMEDIATELY.
Replace
clear
cover
plate
when

Flash
goggles
with
side
shields
MUST
be
worn
under
the
helmet
to
give
some
protection
to
the
eyes
should
the
helmet
not
be
lowered
over
the
face
before
an
arc
is
struck.
Looking
at
an
arc
momentarily
with
unprotected
eyes
(particularly
a
high
intensity
gas-shielded
arc)
can
cause
a
retinal
burn
that
may
leave
a
permanent
dark
area
in
the
field
of
vision.
3.
Protection
of
Nearby
Personnel
Enclosed
welding
area.
For
production
welding,
a
separate
room
or
enclosed
bay
is
best.
In
open
areas,
surround
the
operation
with
low-reflective,
non-
combustible
screens
or
panels.
Allow
for
free
air
circula
tion,
particularly
at
floor
level.
Viewing
the
weld.
Provide
face
shields
for
all
persons
who
will
be
looking
directly
at
the
weld.
Others
working
in
area.
See
that
all
persons
are
wearing
flash
goggles.
Before
starting
to
weld,
make
sure
that
screen
flaps
or
bay
doors
are
