10 Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with
the work, ground, or another electrode from a
different machine.
11 Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or
replace damaged parts at once. Maintain unit ac
-
cording to manual.
12 Wear a safety harness if working above floor
level.
13 Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
14 Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal
contact to workpiece or worktable as near the
weld as practical.

1 Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise
level is high.
2 Use a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade
of filter to protect your face and eyes when
welding or watching.
3 Wear approved safety glasses with side shields.
4 Use protective screens or barriers to protect oth
-
ers from flash and glare; warn others not to
watch the arc.
5 Wear protective clothing made from durable,
flame-resistant material (wool and leather) and
foot protection where necessary.

WARNING
D. FUMES AND GASES
Fumesandgasescanbehazardoustoyourhealth.
Weldingproducesfumesandgases.Breathingthese
fumesandgasescanbehazardoustoyourhealth.
1 Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not
breathe the fumes.
2 If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at
the arc to remove welding fumes and gases.
3 If ventilation is poor, use an approved
air-supplied respirator.
4 Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
and the manufacturer's instruction for metals,
consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
5 Work in a confined space only if it is well venti
-
lated, or while wearing an air-supplied respira
-
tor. Always have a trained watch person nearby.
6 Do not weld in locations near degreasing, clean
-
ing, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of
the arc can react with vapors to form highly
toxic and irritating gases.
7 Do not weld on coated metals, such as galva-
nized, lead or cadmium plated steel, unless the
coating is removed from the weld area, the area
is well ventilated, and if necessary, while wear-
ing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and
any metals containing these elements can give
off toxic fumes if welded.

1. Protect compressed gas cylinders from exces
-
sive heat, mechanical shocks, slag, open flames,
sparks, and arcs.
2. Install cylinders in an upright position by secur
-
ing to a stationary support or cylinder rack to
prevent falling or tipping.
3. Keep cylinders away from any welding or other
electrical circuits.
4. Never weld on a pressurized cylinder - explo
-
sion will result.
5. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regula
-
tors, hoses and fittings designed for the specific
application; maintain them and associated parts
in good condition.
6. Turn face away from valve outlet when opening
cylinder valve.
7. Keep protective cap in place over valve except
when cylinder is in use or connected for use.
8. Read and follow instructions on compressed gas
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA pub
-
lication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.

Checkandbesuretheareaissafebeforedoingany
welding.
1. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks
and hot metal.
2. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike
flammable material.
3. Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of
the welding arc. If this is not possible, tightly
cover them with approved covers.
4. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials
from welding can easily go through small cracks
and openings to adjacent areas.
5. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher
nearby.
6. Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks,
drums, or pipes, unless they are properly pre
-
pared according to AWSF4.1 (see safety Stan
-
dards).
7. Connect work cable to the work as close to the
welding area as practical to prevent welding
current traveling long, possibly unknown paths
and causing electric shock and fire hazards.

8. Wear oil-free protective garments such as
leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers,
high shoes, and a cap.
G. MOVING PARTS

1. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards
closed and securely in place.
2. Have only qualified people remove guards or
covers for maintenance and troubleshooting as
necessary.

1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping
them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the

3. Do not coil or drape cables around the body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far
away as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to
the weld as possible.
