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
theirinstruction
manuals,
for
personal
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
others.
Failure
to
observe
these
safe
practices
may
cause
seti
ous
injury
or
death.
When
safety
becomes
a
habit,
the
equipment
can
be
used
with
confidence.
These
sate
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
(MSDSs)
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
(orcutting)
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

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,
weidments
are

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.
DONî‚’T
GET
BURNED;
COMPLY
WITH
PRECAUTIONS.
1.
Protective
Clothing
Wear
long-sleeve
clothing
(particularly

before
an
arc
is
struck.
Looking
at
an
arc
momentarily
with
unprotected
eyes
(particularly
a
high

Prevention
Exposed
hot
conductors
or
other
bare
metal
in
the
weld

insulation
against
electrical
shock.
Stay
on
a
dry
duckboard,
or
rubber
mat
when
dampness
or
sweat
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
