I-i.
INTRODUCTION
We
learn
by
experience.
Learning
safety
through
per
sonal
experience,
like
a
child
touching
a
hot
stove
is
harmful,
wasteful,
and
unwise..Let
the
experience
of
oth
ers
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
welding
and
cutting
are
described
in
this
manual.
Re
search,
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
rea
son
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
seri
ous
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
cut
ting;
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.

GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
Different
arc
welding
processes,
electrode
alloys,
and
fluxes
can
produce
different
fumes,
gases,
and
radiatIon
levels.
in
addItion
to
the
InformatIon
in
thIs
manual,
be
sure
to
consult
flux
and
electrode
manu
facturers
MaterIal
Safety
Data
Sheets
(MSDS5)
for
specific
technical
data
and
precautIonary
measures
concerning
their
materIal.
A.
Burn
Prevention
Wear
protective
clothing-gauntlet
gloves
designed
for
use
in
welding,
hat,
and
high
safety-toe
shoes.
Button
shirt
collar
and
pocket
flaps,
and
wear
cutf
less
trousers
to
avoid
entry
of
sparks
and
slag.
Wear
helmet
with
safety
goggles
and
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.
Medicai
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
per
sons
intending
to
weld
or
cut.
B.
Toxic
Fume
Prevention
Severe
discomfort,
illness
or
death
can
result
from
fumes,
vapors,
heat,
or
oxygen
enrichment
or
depletion
that
welding
(or
cutting)
may
produce.
Prevent
themwith
adequate
ventilation
as
described
in
ANSI
Standard
Z49.1
listed
in
Standards
Index.
NEVER
ventilate
with
oxygen.
Lead
-,
cadmium
-,
zinc-,
mercury-,
and
beryllium-bear
ing
and
similar
materials,
when
welded
(orcut)
may
pro
duce
harmful
concentrations
of
toxic
fumes.
Adequate
local
exhaust
ventilation
must
be
used,or
each
person
in
the
area as
well
as
the
operator
must
wear
an
air-sup
plied
respirator.
For
beryliium,
both
must
be
used.
Metals
coated
with
orcontaining
materials
that
emit
toxic
fumes
should
not
be
heated
unless
coating
is
removed
from
the
work
surface,
the
area
is
well
ventilated
and,
if
necessary,
while
wearing
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Work
in
a
confined
space
only
while
it
is
being
ventilated
and,
if
necessary,
while
wearing
an
air-supplied
respira
tor.
Gas
leaks
in
a
confined
space
should
be
avoided.
Leaked
gas
in
large
quantities
can
change
oxygen
con
centration
dangerously.
Do
not
bring
gas
cylinders
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
accidentally
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
prod
ucts.
The
ultraviolet
(radiant)
energy
of
the
arc
can
also
decompose
trichioroethyiene
and
perchloroethyiene
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
OM-1548
Page
1
to
atmospheres
containing
even
minute
amounts
of
tnchloroethylene
or
perchloroethylene.
C.
Fire
and
Explosion
Prevention
Causes
of
fire
and
explosion
are:
combustibles
reached
by
the
arc,
flame,
flying
sparks,
hot
slag
or
heated
mate
nal;
misuse
of
compressed
gases
and
cylinders;
and
short
circuits.
BE
AWARE
THAT
flying
sparks
or
falling
slag
can
pass
through
cracks,
along
pipes,
throughwindows
ordoors,
and
through
wall
or
floor
openings,
out
of
sight
of
the
goggled
operator.
Sparks
and
slag
can
fly
35
feet.
To
prevent
fires
and
explosion:
Keep
equipment
clean
and
operable,
free
of
oil,
grease,
and
(in
electrical
parts)
of
metallic
particles
that
can
cause
short
circuits.
If
combustibles
are
in
area,
do
NOT
weld
or
cut.
Move
the
work
if
practicable,
to
an
area
free
of
combustibles.
Avoid
paint
spray
rooms,
dip
tanks,
storage
areas,
venti
lators.
If
the
work
cannot
be
moved,
move
combustibles
at
least
35
feet
away
out
of
reach
of
sparks
and
heat;
or
protect
against
ignition
with
suitable
and
snug-fitting,
fire-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Walls
touching
combustibles
on
opposite
sides
should
not
be
welded
on
(or
cut).
Walls,
ceilings,
and
floor
near
work
should
be
protected
by
heat-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Fire
watcher
must
be
standing
by
with
suitable
fire
extin
guishing
equipment
during
and
for
some
time
afterweld
ing
or
cutting
it:
a.
appreciable
combustibles
(including
building
construction)
are
within
35
feet
b.
appreciable
combustibles
are
further
than
35
feet
but
can
be
ignited

be
routed
so
that
they
are
not
caught,
pinched,
or
strained
during
welding
operations.
4.
One
weld
output
cable
must
be
routed
to
the
Gas/
Current
Sensing
control.
5.
Welding
wire
must
be
routed
so
that
it
does
not
con
tact
the
weld
control
or
any
other
grounded
equip
ment.

INTERNAL
CONNECTIONS
There
are
four
terminal
strips
in
the
weld
control
to
which
external
equipment
can
be
connected
or
at
which
inter
nal
reconnections
can
be
made.
The
use
of
these
termi
nal
strips
depends
on
the
welding
system
set-up
and
welding
application.
External
customer
supplied
remote
start/stop
devices
can
be
connected
to
the
weld
control.
External
customer
supplied
devices
(such
as
fixtures)
can
access
relay
contacts
that
change
state
in
conjunction
with
the
weld
cycle.
An
automatic
flux
valve
can
be
connected
to
the
weld
control
for
Submerged
Arc
Welding
(SAW).
The
op
tional
water
valve
can
be
reconnected
to
operate
simul
taneously
with
the
gas
valve.
