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.
1-2.
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
cuff
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.
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
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
them
with
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
(or
cut)
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
beryllium,
both
must
be
used.
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
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
trichloroethylene
and
perchloroethylene
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-125
676
Page

to
atmospheres
containing
even
minute
amounts
of
trichioroethylene
or
perchioroethylene.
C.
Fire
and
Explosion
Prevention
Causes
of
fire
and
explosion
are:
combustibles
reached
by
the
arc,
flame,
flying
sparks,
hot
slag
or
heated
mate
rial;
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
wail
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
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
orvisible)
in
floors
orwalls
within
35
feet
may
expose
combustibles
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
approvalthat
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
A6.O,
listed
7
In
Standards
Index.
This
includes:
a
thorough
steam
orcaustic
cleaning
(or
a
solvent
or
water
washing,
depending
on
the
combusti
bles
solubility)
followed
by
purging
and
inerting
with
ni
trogen
or
carbon
dioxide,
and
using
protective
equip-
ment
as
recommended
in
A6.O.
Waterfilling
just
below
working
level
may
substitute
for
inerting.
A
container
with
unknown
contents
should
be
cleaned
(see
preceding
paragraph).
Do
NOT
depend
on
sense
of
smell
or
sight
to
determine
if
it
is
safe
to
weld
or
cut.
Hollow
castings
or
containers
must
be
vented
before
welding
or
cutting.
They
can
explode.
Explosive
atmospheres.
Never
weld
or
cut
where
the
air
may
contain

1.
Pressure
Regulators
Regulator
relief
valve
is
designed
to
protect
only
the
regulator
from
overpressure;
it
is
not
intended
to
protect
any
downstream

such
protection
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

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
in
frared
energy
radiates,
weldments
are
hot,
and
com
pressed
gases
may
be
used.
The
wise
operator
avoids
unnecessary
risks
and
protects
himself
and
others
from
accidents.
Precautions
are
described here
and
in
stan
dards
referenced
in
index.
A.
Burn
Protection
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-2.
The
welding
arc
is
intense
and
visibly
bright.
Its
radiation
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
PRECAUTIONS.
1.
Protective
Clothing
Wear
long-sleeve
clothing
(particularly
for
gas-shielded
arc)
in

As
nec
essary,
use
additional
protective
clothing
such
as
leatherjacket
or
sleeves,
flame-proof
apron,
and
f
ire-re
sistant
leggings.
Avoid
outer
garments
of
untreated
cot
ton.
Bare
skin
protection.
Wear
dark,
substantial
clothing.

be
used
when
welding.
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
bums.
Cracked,
broken,
or
loose
filter
plates
must
be
replaced
IMMEDIATELY.
Replace
clear
cover
plate
when
broken,
pitted,
or
spattered.
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
sepa
rate
room
or
enclosed
bay
is
best.
In
open
areas,
sur
round
the
operation
with
low-reflective,
non-combusti
ble
screens
or
panels.
Allow
for
free
air
circulation,
par
ticularly
at
floor
level.
Viewing
the
weld.
Provide
face
shields
for
all
persons
who
will
be
looking
directly
at
the
weld.
Others
working
in

can
not
be
avoided.
Sweat,
sea
water,
or
moisture
be
tween
body
and
an
electrically
HOT
part
or
grounded
metal
reduces
the
electrical
resistance,
and
could
en
able
dangerous
and
possibly
lethal
currents
to
flow
through
the
body.
A
voltage
will
exist
between
the
electrode
and
any
con
ducting
object
in

DUTY
CYCLE
(Chart

The
duty
cycle
of
a
welding
power
source
is
the
percent
age
of
a
ten
minute
period
that
a
welding
power
source
can
be
operated
at
a
given
output
without
causing
over
heating
and
damage
to
the
unit.
This
welding
power
source
is
rated
at
25%
duty
cycle.
This
means
that
the
welding
power
souive
can
be
operated
at
rated
load
for
2.5
minutes
out
of
every
ten.
During
the
remaining
7.5
minutes,
the
unit
should
operate
with
no
load
to
permit
proper
cooling.
If
the
welding
amperes
are
decreased,
the

3-1)
for
unit
maximum
ocv
rating).
3.
Select
adequate
size
welding
cable
for
the
antici
pated
maximum
weld
current.
Use
total
length
of
welding
cable
in
the
circuit
to
determine
cable
size.
For
example,
if
the
electrode
holder
cable
is
75
feet
(23
m)
long
and
the
work
cable
is
25
leet
(8
m)
long,
select
the
size
cable
recommended
in
Table
4-1
for
lOOft(31
m).
4.
Do
not
use
damaged
or
frayed
cables.
5.
Install
correct
size
iugs
of
adequate
amperage
ca
pacity
onto
ends
of
both
cables
for
connecting
to
work
clamp,
stud
welding
device,
and
weld
output
terminals.
6.
Install
stud
welding
device
onto
cable
following
manufacturers
instructions.
An
insulated
stud
weld
ing
device
must
be
used
to
ensure
operator
safety.
