Prevention
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 Stan
dard
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
ed.
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
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
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
chioroethylene
vapors
to
form
phosgene.
DO
NOT
WELD

C.
Fire
and
Explosion
Prevention
Causes
of
fire
and
explosion
are:
combustibles
reached
by
the
arc,
flame,
ftying
sparks,
hot
slag
or
heated
material;
misuse
of
compressed
gases
and
cylinders;
and
short
circuits.
BE
AWARE
THAT
flying
sparks
or
falling
slag
can
pass
through
cracks,
along
pipes,
through
windows
or
doors,
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,
yen
tilators.
If
the
work
cannot
be
moved,
move
com
bustibles
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
ex
tinguishing
equipment
during
and
for
some
time
after
welding
or
cutting
if:
a.
appreciable
combustibles
(including
building
construction)
are
within
35
feet
b.
appreciable
combustibles
are
further
than
35
feet
but
can
be
ignited
by
sparks
c.
openings
(concealed
or
visible)
in
floors
or
walls
within
35
feet
may
expose
com
bustibles
to
sparks
d.
combustibles
adjacent
to
walls,
ceilings,
roofs,
or
metal
partitions
can
be
ignited
by
radiant
or
conducted
heat.
Hot
work
permit
should
be
obtained
before
operation
to
ensure
supervisors
approval
that
adequate
precautions
have
been
taken.
After
work
is
done,
check
that
area
is
free
of
sparks,
glowing
embers,
and
flames.
An
empty
container
that
held
combustibles,
or
that
can
produce
flammable
or
toxic
vapors
when
heated,
must
never
be
welded
on
or
cut,
unless
container
has
first
been
cleaned
as
described
in
AWS
Standard

index.
1.
Pressure
Regulators
Regulator
relief
valve
is
designed
to
protect
only
the
regulator
from
overpressure;
it
is
not
intended
to
pro
tect
any
downstream
equipment.
Provide
such
protec
tion
with
one
or
more
relief
devices.
Never
connect
a
regulator
to
a
cylinder
containing
gas
other
than
that
for
which
the
regulator
was
designed.
Remove
faulty
regulator
from
service
immediately
for
repair
(first
close
cylinder
valve).
The
following
symp
toms
indicate
a
faulty
regulator:
Leaks
-
if
gas
leaks
externally.
Excessive
Creep
-
if
delivery
pressure
continues
to
rise
with
downstream
valve
closed.
Faulty
Gauge
-
if
gauge
pointer
does
not
move
off
stop
pin
when
pressurized,
nor
returns
to
stop
pin
after
pressure
release.
Repair.
Do
NOT
attempt
repair.
Send
faulty
regulators
for
repair
to
manufacturers
designated
repair
center,
where
special
techniques
and
tools
are
used
by
trained
personnel.
2.
Cylinders
Cylinders
must
be
handled
carefully
to
prevent
leaks
and

valves,
or
safety
devices:
Avoid
electrical
circuit
contact
with
cylinders
including
third
rails,
electrical
wires,
or
welding
circuits.
They
can
produce
short
circuit
arcs
that
may
lead
toa
serious
ac
cident.
(See
1-3C.)
ICC
or
DOT
marking
must
be
on
each
cylinder.
It
is
an
assurance
of
safety
when
the
cylinder
is
properly
handled.

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,
weldments
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

To
protect
against
shock:
Keep
body
and
clothing
dry.
Never
work
in
damp
area
without
adequate
insulation
against
electrical
shock.
Stay
on
a
dry
duckboard,
or
rubber
mat
when
damp
ness
or
sweat
can
not
be
avoided.
Sweat,
sea
water,
or
moisture
between
body
and
an
electrically
HOT
part
-
or
grounded
metal
-
reduces
the
body
surface
electrical
resistance,
enabling
dangerous
and
possibly
lethal
currents
to
flow
through
the
body.

is
grounded
according
to
the
National
Electrical
Code,
and
the
work
is
grounded
according
to
ANSI
Z49.1
Safety
In
Welding
And
Cut

a
voltage
may
exist
between
the
electrode
and
any
conducting
object.
Examples
of
conducting
objects
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
buildings,
electrical
tools,
work
benches,
welding
power
source
cases,
workpieces.
etc.
Never
touch
the electrode
and
any
metal
object
unless
the
welding
power
source
is
off.
When

connect
the
frames
of
each
unit
such
as
welding
power
source,
control,
work
table,
and
water
circulator
to
the
building
ground.
Conductors
must
be
adequate

connect
the
ground
lead
to
the
grounded
switchbox.
If
a
three-
prong
plug
is
added
for
connection
to
a
grounded
mating
receptacle,
the
ground
lead
must
be
connected
to
the

INSTALLATION
3-1.
LOCATION
(Figure
3-1)
-
A
proper
installation
site
should
be
selected
for
the
welding
power
source
if
the
unit
is
to
provide
dependable
service,
and
remain
relatively
maintenance
free.
A
proper
installation
site
permits
freedom
of
air
move
ment
into
and
out
of
the
welding
power
source,
and
also
least
subjects
the
unit
to
dust,
dirt,
moisture,
and
corrosive
vapors.
A
minimum
of
18
inches
(457
mm)
of
unrestricted
space
must
be
maintained
between
the
welding
power
source
front
and
rear
panels
and
the
nearest
obstruction.
Also,
the
underside
of
the
welding
power
source
must
be
kept
completely
free
of
obstruc
tions.
The
installation
site
should
also
permit
easy
removal
of
the
welding
power
source
outer
enclosure
for
maintenance
functions.
IMPORTANT:
Do
not
place
any
filtering
device
over
the
intake
air
passages
of
the
we/ding
power
source
as
this
would
restrict
the
volume
of
intake
air
and
thereby
subject
the
welding
power
source
internal
components
to
an
overheating
condition
and
subsequent
failure.
Warranty
is
void
if
any
type
of
filtering
device
is
used.
Holes
are
provided
in
the
welding
power
source
base
for
mounting
purposes.

Layout
On
most
welding
power
sources
a
lifting
device
is
pro
vided
for
moving
the
unit.
However,
if
a
fork
lift
vehicle
is
used
for
lifting
the
unit,
be
sure
that
the
lift
forks
are
long
enough
to
extend
completely
under
the
base.
IMPORTANT
______________
The
use
of
lift
forks
too
short
to
ex
tend
out
of
the
opposite
side
of
the
base
will
expose
in
ternal
components
to
damage
should
the
tips
of
the
lift
forks
penetrate
the
bottom
of
the
unit.

ELECTRICAL
INPUT
CONNECTIONS
A.
Electrical
Input
Requirements
This
welding
power
source
is
designed
to
be
operated
from
a
three-phase,
60
Hertz,
ac
power
supply
which
has
a
line
voltage
rating
that
corresponds
with
one
of
the
electrical
input
voltages
shown
on
the
nameplate.
Consult
the
local
electric
utility
if
there
is
any
question
about
the
type
of
electrical
system
available
at
the
in
stallation
site
or
how
proper
connections
to
the
welding
power
source
are
to
be
made.
B.
Input
Conductor
Connections
I~I.1t~
It
is
recommended
that
a
line
disconnect
switch
be
installed
in
the
input
circuit
to
the
welding
power
source.
This
would
provide
a
safe
and
conve
nient
means
to
completely
remove
all
electrical
power
from
the
welding
power
source
whenever
it
is
necessary
to
perform
any
internal
function
on
the
unit.
CAUTION
___________
Before
making
electrical
input
connec
tions
to
the
welding
power
source,
machinery
lockout
procedures
should
be
employed.
If
the
connection
is
to
be
made
from
a
line
disconnect
switch,
the
switch
should
be
padlocked
in
the
open
position.
If
the
connec
tion
is
made
from
a
fuse
box,
remove
the
fuses
from
the
box
and
padlock
the
cover
in
the
closed
position.
If
the
unit
is
connected
to
a
circuit
breake,,
or
other
discon
necting
device
without
locking
facilities,
attach
a
red
tag
to
the
device
to
warn
others
that
the
circuit
is
being
worked
on.
Insert
the
three
input
conductors
plus
one
ground
con
ductor
through
the
access
hole
on
the
rear
panel.
This
hole
will
accept
standard
conduit
fittings.
See
Figure
3-2
for
hole
location
and
size.
Connect
the
three
input
conductors
to
the
line
terminals
on
the
contactor.
Connect
the
ground
conductor
to
the
terminal
labeled
GROUND
on
the
frame
near
the
con
tactor.
The
remaining
end
of
the
ground
conductor
should
be
connected
to
a
proper
ground.
Use
a
groun
ding
method
that
is
acceptable
to
the
local
electrical
in
spection
authority.
CAUTION
The
ground
terminal
is
connected
to
the
welding
power
source
chassis
and
is
for
grounding
pur
poses
only.
Do
not
connect
a
conductor
from
the
ground
terminal
to
any
one
of
the
line
terminals
as
this
will
result
in
an
electrically
energized
welding
power
source
chassis.
