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
invit~?~ble.
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
leather
jacket
or
sleeves,
flame-proof
apron,
and
fire-resistant
leggings.
Avoid
outer
garments
of
untreated
cotton.
Bare
skin
protection.
Wear
dark,
substantial
clothing.
Button
collar
to
protect
chest
and
neck
and
button
pock
ets
to
prevent
entry
of
sparks.
2.
Eye
and

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
burns.
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

con
sist
of
a
wire
feeder,
an
auxiliary
wire
feeder,
a
welding
gun,
a
wire
conduit,
and
an
interconnecting
harness.
This
wire
feeding
system
is
designed
primarily
for
alumi
num
and
other
difficult-to-feed
soft
alloy
wires,
but
it
is
also
capable
of
feeding
.030
thru
.045
in.
(0.8
thru
1
.1
mm)
diameter
hard
and
flux-cored
wires.
The
wire
spool
is
housed
in
the
feeder.
A
torque
motor
in
the
feeder
and
the
auxiliary
wire
feeder
push
the
welding
wire
while
the
drive
motor
in
the
gun
pulls
the
wire
through
the
wire
con
duit
to
the
gun.
The
feeders
and
gun
are
of
the
constant
wire
feed
speed
type
and
are
designed
to
be
used
with
most
dc
constant
current
and
constant
voltage
welding
power
sources
and
synergic-type
controls.
When
used
with
constant

power
sources,
these
wire
feeders
are
capable
of
