INTRODUCTION
We
learn
by
experience.
Learning
safety
through
personal
experience,
like
a
child
touching
a
hot
stove
is
harmful,
wasteful,
and
unwise.
Let
the
experience
of
others
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
weld
ing
and
cutting
are
described
in
this
manual.
Research,
devel
opment.
and
field
experience
have
evolved
reliable
equipment
and
safe
installation,
operation,
and
servicing
practices.
Acci
dents
occur
when
equipment
is
improperly
used
or
main
tained.
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
so
follow
the
rules.
Read
and
understand
these
safe
practices
before
attempting
so
install,
operate,
or
service
the
equipment.
Comply
with
shese
procedures
es
applicable
to
she
particular
equipment
used
and
their
instruction
manuals,
for
personal
safety
and
for
she
safety
of
others.
Failure
so
observe
these
safe
practices
may
cause
serious
in
jury
or
death.
When
safety
becomes
a
habit,
the
equipment
can
be
used
wish
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
procedures
than
those
given
in
this
manual.
They
are
listed
in
she
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
in
spection
requirements
also
provide
a
basis
for
equipment
in
stallation,
use,
and
service.
GENERAL

Severe
discomfort,
illness
ordeath
can
result
from
fumes,
vapors,
heat
or
oxygen
enrichment
or
depletion
that
welding

valves
have
been
accidently
opened
or
left
open.
Check
to
be
sure
that
the
space
is
safe
before
re-entering
it.
Vapors
from
chlorinated
solvenrs
can
be
decomposed
by
the
heat
of
the
arc
(or
flame(
to
form
PHOSGENE,
a
highly
toxic
gas,
and
other
lung
and
eye
irritating
products.
The
ultra
violet
(radiant(
energy
of
the
arc
can
also
decompose
tn
chloroeshylene
and
perchioroethylene
vapors
to
form
phos
gene.
DO
NOT
WELD
or
cut
where
solvent
vapors
can
be
drawn
into
the
welding
or
cutting
atmosphere
or
where
the
radiant
energy
can
penetrate
to
atmospheres
containing
even
minute
amounts
of
tnichioroethylene
or
perchloroethylene.
C.
Fire
and
Explosion
Prevention
Causes
of
fire
and
explosion
are:
combustibles
reached
by
the
arc,
flame,
flying
sparks,
hot
slag
or
heated
material;
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
wall
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,
ventilators.
If
the
work
cannot
be
moved,
move
combustibles
as
least
35
lees
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
sh
ould
not
be
welded
on
(or
cut(.
Walls,
ceilings,
and
floor
near

c.
openings
(concealed
or
visible(
in
floors
or
walls
within
35
feet
may
expose
combustibles
to
sparks
d.
combustibles
adjacent
to
walls,
ceilings,
roofs,
or
motel
partitions
can
be
ignited

Pressure
Regulators
Regulator
relief
valve
is
designed
to
protect
only
the
regula
tor
from
overpressure;
it is
not
intended
to
protect
any
downstream
equipment.
Provide
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
faulty
regulator
from
service
immediately
for
repair
(first
close
cylinder
valve).
The
following
symptoms
indicate
a
faulty
regulator:
Leaks
-
if

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
separate
room
or
enclosed
bay
is
best.
In
open
areas,
surround
the
operation
with
low-reflective,
non-combustible
screens
or
panels.
Allow
for
free
air
circulation,
particularly
at

or
lead
to
such
a
rupture
later
under
rough
handling.
D.
Compressed

Sweat,
sea
water,
or
moisture
between
body
and
an
electrically
HOT
part
-
or
grounded
metal
-
reduces
the
body
surface
electrical

will
be
reduced
when
they
are
subjected
to
high
levels
of
dust,
dirt,
moisture,
corrosive
vapors,
and
extreme
heat.
The
location
should
allow
room
to
open
the
front

assembly
may
also
be
mounted
anywhere
in
line
with
