SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
SECTION 1:
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
!
!
WARNING
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF WELDING AND CUTTING EQUIPMENT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED,
USED AND MAINTAINED. MISUSE OF THIS EQUIPMENT AND OTHER UNSAFE PRACTICES CAN BE HAZARDOUS. THE
OPERATOR, SUPERVISOR AND HELPER MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING ANY WELDING OR CUTTING EQUIPMENT.
THE WELDING AND CUTTING PROCESS IS USED IN MANY POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS SUCH
AS ELEVATED HEIGHTS, AREAS OF LIMITED VENTILATION, CLOSE QUARTERS, AROUND WATER, IN HOSTILE
ENVIRONMENTS, ETC., AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE OPERATOR(S) ARE AWARE OF THE DANGERS ASSOCIATED
WITH WORKING IN THESE TYPES OF CONDITIONS. BE CERTAIN THAT THE OPERATOR(S) ARE TRAINED IN
SAFE PRACTICES FOR ENVIRONMENTS IN WHICH THEY ARE EXPECTED TO WORK AND UNDER COMPETENT
SUPERVISION.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OPERATOR, SUPERVISOR AND ALL OTHER PERSONNEL IN THE WORK AREA ARE AWARE
OF THE DANGERS OF THE WELDING OR CUTTING PROCESS. TRAINING AND PROPER SUPERVISION ARE IMPORTANT
FOR A SAFE WORK PLACE. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED SAFETY
AND OPERATING INFORMATION IS REFERENCED IN EACH SECTION.
5. All ground connections must be checked periodically
to determine that they are mechanically strong and
electrically adequate for the required current.
6. When engaged in alternating current, welding, or
cutting under wet conditions or warm surroundings
where perspiration is a factor, the use of reliable
automatic controls for reducing the no-load voltage
is recommended to reduce shock hazard.
7. When the welding or cutting process requires values of
open circuit voltages in alternating current machines
higher than 80 volts, and direct current machines
higher than 100 volts, means must be provided to
prevent the operator from making accidental contact
with the high voltage by adequate insulation or other
means.
8. When welding is to be suspended for any substantial
length of time, such as during lunch or overnight,
all electrodes should be removed from the electrode
holder and the electrode holder carefully located so
that accidental contact cannot occur.
9. The holder must be disconnected from the power
source when not in use.
10.
Never immerse Mig-Guns, electrode holders, tig
torches, plasma torches, or electrodes in water.
WARNING
SMOKE, FUMES, AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS
TO YOUR HEALTH.
1.01 Welding Hazards
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
INSTALL AND MAINTAIN EQUIPMENT IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (NFPA 70)
AND LOCAL CODES. DO NOT SERVICE OR REPAIR
EQUIPMENT WITH POWER ON. DO NOT OPERATE
EQUIPMENT WITH PROTECTIVE INSULATORS
OR COVERS REMOVED. SERVICE OR REPAIR TO
EQUIPMENT MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED REPAIR
TECHNICIAN, OR TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY.
1. Do not touch live electrical parts.
2.
Do not touch an electrode with bare skin and electrical
ground at the same time.
3. Always keep welding gloves dry and in good
condition.
NOTE
Aluminized protective clothing can become
part of the electrical path.
4. Keep oxygen cylinders, chains, wire ropes, cranes,
hoists, and elevators away from any part of the
electrical path.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
21. Flammable hair preparations should not be used when
welding or cutting. Wear ear plugs to protect ears from
sparks.
22. Where the work area permits, the operator should be
enclosed in an individual booth painted with a finish of
low reflectivity such as zinc oxide. This is an important
factor for absorbing ultraviolet radiations, and lamp black.
The operator should be enclosed with non-combustible
screens similarly painted.
WARNING
WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRES AND
EXPLOSIONS.
23. Causes of re and explosion are: combustibles reached by
the arc, flame, ying sparks, hot slag, or heated material.
Remove combustibles from the work area and/or provide
a re watch.
24
. Avoid oily or greasy clothing as sparks may ignite them. Have
a re extinguisher nearby, and know how to use it.
25.
Be alert to the danger of conduction or radiation. For
example, if welding or cutting is to be done on a metal
wall, partition, ceiling, or roof, precautions must be taken
to prevent ignition of combustibles on the other side.
26. Do not w
eld or cut containers that have held combustibles.
All hollow spaces, cavities and containers should be vented
prior to welding or cutting to permit the escape of air or
gases. Purging with inert gas is recommended.
27.
Never use oxygen in a welding torch. Use only inert
gases or inert gas mixes as required by the process. Use
of combustible compressed gases can cause explosions
resulting in personal injury or death. Arcing against any
compressed gas cylinder can cause cylinder damage or
explosion.
WARNING
NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEARING.
28. Noise from the air carbon-arc process can damage
your hearing. Wear protective hearing devices to ensure
protection when noise levels exceed OSHA standards.
Adequate hearing protection devices must be worn by
operators and surrounding personnel to ensure personal
protection against noise.
11. Keep smoke, fumes, and gases from the breathing area.
12. Fumes from the welding or cutting process are of various
types and strengths, depending on the kind of base metal
being worked on. To ensure your safety, do not breathe
these fumes.
13. Ventilation must be adequate to remove smoke, fumes,
and gases during the operation to protect operators and
other personnel in the area.
14. Vapors of chlorinated solvents can form the toxic gas
Phosgene when exposed to ultraviolet radiation from
an electric arc. All solvents, degreasers, and potential
sources of these vapors must be removed from the work
area.
15. Fumes produced by welding or cutting, particularly in
conned places, can cause discomfort and physical harm
if inhaled over an extended period of time.
16. Provide adequate ventilation in the welding or cutting area.
Use air-supplied respirators if ventilation is not adequate to
remove all fumes and gases. Never ventilate with oxygen.
Oxygen supports and vigorously accelerates fire.
WARNING
ARC RAYS, HOT SLAG, AND SPARKS CAN INJURE
EYES AND BURN SKIN .
17. The welding and cutting processes produces extreme
localized heat and strong ultraviolet rays.
18. Never attempt to weld or cut without a welding helmet
with the proper lens. Ensure that the lens complies with
federal guidelines. A number 12 to 14 shade lter lens
provides the best protection against arc radiation. When
in a confined area, prevent the reflected arc rays from
entering around the helmet.
19. Ensure all personnel in the work area are protected from
arc rays and sparks. Approved shielding curtains and
appropriate goggles should be used to provide protection
to staff in the surrounding area and operators of nearby
equipment.
20. Unprotected skin should also be covered from arc rays,
heat and molten metal. Always wear protective gloves and
clothing that does not allow skin to become exposed. All
pockets should be closed and cuffs sewn shut. Leather
aprons, sleeves, leggings, etc., should be worn for out-of-
position welding and cutting or for heavy operations using
large electrodes. High top work shoes provide adequate
protection from foot burns. For added protection use
leather spats.

1.01 Accidents de Soudage
4. Eloignez les bouteilles d’oxygène, les chnes,les
câbles métalliques, les engins de levage, les treuils
et les élévateurs de toute partie du circuit électrique.
5. Toutes les connexions de terre doivent être vérifiées
périodiquement pour déterminer si elles sont
mécaniquement résistantes et électriquement
appropriées au courant demandé.
6. En cas de soudage ou découpage en courant alternatif
dans des conditions d’humidité ou de chaleur avec
facteur de transpiration, l’utilisation de contles
automatiques fiables pour réduire la tension à vide est
recommandée pour diminuer les risques de choc.
7. Lorsque le procédé de soudage ou découpage exige
des valeurs de tension en circuit ouvert dans des
machines à courant alternatif plus éle que 80
volts, et des machines à courant continu plus élevé
que 100 volts, des mesures doivent être prises pour
empêcher un contact accidentel entre l’opérateur et la
tension élevée par une isolation adéquate ou d’autres
moyens.
8. Lorsque le soudage doit être interrompu pendant une
certaine période, comme lors d’un repas ou d’une nuit,
toutes les électrodes doivent être enlevées de la torche
et celle-ci doit être rangée avec soin pour éviter un
contact accidentel.
9. La torche doit être déconnectée de la source d’énergie
en cas de non utilisation.
10. Ne plongez jamais les pistolets Mig, les supports
d’électrodes, les torches TIG, les torches à plasma
ou les électrodes dans l’eau.

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ ET MISES EN GARDE
pour le soudage etcoupage ou pour les orations
lourdes utilisant de grandes électrodes. Les chaussures
de sécurité fournissent une protection suffisante contre
les brûlures aux pieds. Pour plus de protection portez
des gtres en cuir.
21. Les préparations à cheveux inflammables ne
devraient pas être utilies lors du soudage ou
coupage. Portez des bouchons d’oreilles pour
protégez vos oreilles des étincelles.
22. Lorsque la zone de travail le permet, l’opérateur devrait
être enferdans une cabine individuelle recouverte
d’un revêtement à faible flectivité comme l’oxyde de
zinc. Ceci est un facteur important pour absorber les
rayons ultraviolets, et un noir de lampe. L’orateur
devrait être enfermé avec des écrans non combustibles
revêtus de manière similaire.
AVERTISSEMENT
LE RAYONNEMENT DE LARC, LES SCORIES ET LES
ETINCELLES CHAUDES PEUVENT BLESSER LES YEUX
ET BRULER LA PEAU.
11. Eloignez la fumée, les émanations et les gaz de la zone de
respiration.
12. Les émanations du procédé de soudage ou découpage sont de
divers types et forces, selon le genre de métal de base travaillé.
Pour votre sécurité, ne respirez pas ces émanations.
13. La ventilation doit être suffisante pour enlever la fumée, les
émanations et les gaz pendant le fonctionnement pour protéger
les opérateurs et le personnel présents dans le secteur.
14. Les vapeurs de solvants chlorés peuvent former le gaz toxique
« Phosgène » en cas dexposition au rayonnement ultraviolet
dun arc électrique. Tous les solvants, décapants et sources
potentielles de ces vapeurs doivent être enlevés de la zone de
travail.
15. Les émanations produites lors du soudage ou découpage,
surtout à des endroits confinés, peuvent causer une gêne et
un malaise physique en cas dinhalation pendant une période
prolongée.
16. Fournissez suffisamment de ventilation dans la zone de soudage
ou découpage. Servez-vous dappareils respiratoires à arrivée
dair si la ventilation nest pas suffisante pour enlever toutes
les émanations et gaz. Ne ventilez jamais avec de loxygène.
Loxygène entretient et accélère vigoureusement le feu.
17 Les procédés de soudage et découpage produisent une chaleur
localisée extrême et de forts rayons ultraviolets.
18 Nessayez jamais de souder ou couper sans casque de soudage
équipé de verres adéquats. Veillez à ce que les verres soient
conformes aux normes fédérales. Des verres à filtre de numéro
12 à 14 fournissent la meilleure protection contre le rayonnement
de larc. En cas dendroit confiné évitez que les réflexions du
rayonnement de larc pénètrent autour du casque.
19. Veillez à ce que tout le personnel dans la zone de travail
soit produ rayonnement de l’arc et des étincelles.
Des rideaux de protection approuvés et des lunettes
de protection appropriées devraient être utilisés pour
fournir une protection au personnel se trouvant aux
abords et aux opérateurs des équipements voisins.
AVERTISSEMENT
LES ETINCELLES DE SOUDURE PEUVENT CAUSER
DES INCENDIES ET DES EXPLOSIONS.
AVERTISSEMENT
LA FUMÉE, LES ÉMANATIONS ET LES GAZ PEUVENT
ÊTRE DANGEREUX POUR VOTRE SAN
20. La peau devrait aussi être protégée des rayons de l’arc,
de la chaleur et du tal fondu. Portez toujours des
gants et des tements de protection qui empêchent
l’exposition de votre peau. Toutes les poches devraient
être feres et les manchettes cousues. Des tabliers,
manches, guêtres en cuir, etc. devraient être portés
23. Les causes dincendie et dexplosion sont: les combustibles
atteints par larc, flammes, étincelles volantes, scories
chaudes ou matériaux chaufs. Retirez les combustibles
de la zone de travail et/ou etablissez une surveillance du
feu.
24.
Evitez les vêtements huileux ou graisseux car les étincelles
peuvent y mettre le feu. Ayez un extincteur à proximité et
sachez comment l’utiliser.
25.
Soyez attentif au danger de conduction ou rayonnement,
par exemple si le soudage ou découpage doit être fait contre
un mur, une cloison, un toit en tal, un plafond ou un toit,
des précautions doivent être prises pour éviter la mise à
feu des combustibles de l’autre cô.
26. Ne soudez ni
ne coupez pas des conteneurs ayant
contenu des combustibles. Tous les espaces creux,
cavités et conteneurs devraient être aérés avant le
soudage ou découpage pour permettre l’évasion de
l’air ou des gaz. Une purge avec du gaz inerte est
recommandée.
27.
N’utilisez jamais d’oxygène dans une torche de
soudage. Nutilisez que des gaz inertes ou des
langes de gaz inertes conformément aux exigences
du procédé. Lutilisation de gaz combustibles
comprimés peut causer des explosions pouvant
provoque blessures personnelles ou être fatales.
L’utilisation de l’arc contre toute bouteille de gaz
compripeut endommager la bouteille ou causer
une explosion.
