INTRODUCTION
-
We
learn
by
experience.
Learning
safety
through
personal
experience,
like
a
child
touching
a
hot
stove
is
harmful,
wasteful,
and
un
wise.
Let
the
experience
of
others
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
~.
welding
and
cutting
are
described
in
this
manual.
Research,
development,
and
field
experience
have
evolved
reliable
equipment
and
safe
installation,
opera-
tion,
and
servicing
practices.
Acidents
occur
when
equipment
is
improperly
used
or
maintained.
The
reason
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
serious
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
cutting;
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
A.
Burn
Prevention
Wear
protective
clothing
-
leather
(or
asbestos)
gauntlet
gloves,
hat,
and
high
safety-toe
shoes.
Button
shirt
collar
and
pocket
flaps,
and
wear
cuffless
trousers
to
avoid
entry
of
sparks
and
slag.
Wear
helmet
with
safety
goggles
or
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.

Prevention
Adequate
ventilation.
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
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
phosgone.
DO
NOT
WELD
or
cut
where
solvent
vapors
can
be
drawn
into
the
welding
or
cutting
atmosphere
or
where
the
radiant

valve
in
following
position:
For
oxygen,
and
inert
gases,
open
fully
to
seal
stem
against
possible
leak.
For
fuel
gas,
open
to
less

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,
weidments
are
hot,
and
compressed
gases
may
be
us
ed.
The
wise
operator
avoids
unnecessary

and
pro
tects
himself
and
others
from
accidents.
Precautions
are
described
here
and
in
standards
referenced

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.
1.
Grounding
the
Equipment
When
installing,
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
to
carry
ground
currents
safely.
Equipment
made
electrically
HOT
by
stray
current
may
shock,
possibly
fatally.
Do
NOT
GROUND
to
electrical
conduit,
or
to
a
pipe
carrying
ANY
gas
or
a
flammable
li
quid
such
as
oil
or
fuel.
Three-phase
connection.
Check
phase
requirements
of
equipment
before
installing.
If
only
3-phase
power
is
available,
connect
single-phase
equipment
to
only
two
wires
of
the
3-phase
line.
Do
NOT
connect
the
equip
ment
ground
lead
to
the
third
(live)
wire,
or
the
equip
ment
will
become
electrically
HOT
-
a
dangerous
condi
tion
that
can
shock,
possibly
fatally.
Before
welding,
check
ground
for
continuity.
Be
sure
conductors
are
touching
bare
metal
of
equipment
frames
at
connections.
If
a
line
cord
with
a
ground
lead
is
provided
with
the
equipment
for
connection
to
a
switchbox,
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
ground
prong
only.
If
the
line
cord
comes
with
a
three-prong
plug,
connect
to
a
grounded
mating
recep
tacle.
Never
remove
the
ground
prong
from
a
plug,
or
use
a
plug
with
a
broken
off
ground
prong.
2.
Electrode
Holders
Fully
insulated
electrode
holders
should
be
used.
Do
NOT
use
holders
with
protruding
screws.
3.
Connectors
Fully
insulated
lock-type
connectors
should
be
used
to
join
welding
cable
lengths.
4.
Cables
Frequently
inspect
cables
for
wear,
cracks
and
damage.
IMMEDIATELY
REPLACE
those
with
excessively
worn
or
damaged
insulation
to
avoid
possibly
-
lethal
shock
from
bared
cable.
Cables
with
damaged
areas
may
be
taped
to
give
resistance
equivalent
to
original
cable.
Keep
cable
dry,
free
of
oil
and
grease,
and
protected
from
hot
metal
and
sparks.
