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.
Accidents
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
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

illness
or
death
can
result
from
fumes,
vapors,
heat,
or
oxygen
enrichment
or
depletion
that
welding
(or
cutting)
may
produce.
Prevent
them

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,
yen
tilators.
If
the
work
cannot
be
moved,
move
com
bustibles
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
ex
tinguishing
equipment
during
and
for
some
time
after
welding
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
or
visible)
in
floors
or
walls
within
35
feet
may
expose
com
bustibles
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
approval
that
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
3
in
Standards
index.
This
includes:
a
thorough
steam
or
caustic
cleaning
(or
a
solvent
or
water
washing,
depending
on
the
com
bustibles
solubility)
followed
by
purging
and
inerting
with
nitrogen
or
carbon
dioxide,
and
using
protective
equipment
as
recommended
in
A6.O.
Waterfilling
just
below
working
level
may
substitute
for
inerting.
A
container
with
unknown
contents
should
be
cleaned
(see
paragraph
above).
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

IN
CYLINDERS,
listed
6
in
Standards
index.
1.
Pressure
Regulators
Regulator
relief
valve
is
designed
to
prctect
only
the
regulator
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

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
gas
leaks
externally.
Excessive
Creep
-
if
delivery
pressure
continues
to
rise
with
downstream
valve
closed.
Faulty
Gauge
-
if
gauge
pointer
does
not
move
off
stop
pin
when
pressurized,
nor
returns

rails,
electrical
wires,
or
welding
cir
cuits.
They
can
produce
short
circuit
arcs
that
may
lead
to
a
secious
accident.
(See
1-3C.)
ICC
or
DOT
marking
must
be
on
each
cylinder.
It
is
an
assurance
of

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,
weldments
are
hot,
and
compressed
gases
may
be
us
ed.
The
wise
operator
avoids
unnecessary
risks
and
pro
tects
himself
and
others
from
accidents.
Precautions
are
described
here
and
in
standards
referenced
in
index.
A.
Burn
Protection
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-2.
The
welding
arc
is
intense
and
visibly
bright.
Its
radia
tion
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
PRECAU
TIONS.
1.
Protective
Clothing
Wear
long-sleeve
clothing
(particularly
for

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
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
circula
tion,
particularly
at
floor
level.
Viewing

gas
(and
water)
flows
for
a
programmed
time
after
the
arc
is
extinguished
before
the
valve(s)
close.
When
the
postflow
time
is
finished,
the
welding
portion
of
the
program
is
finished.
8.
Pause
-
see
Tables
4-1
&
4-2.
The
Pause
is
a
sequence
that
can
be
used
to
allow
time
between
weld
programs
for
things
such
as
reloading
a
fixture,
repositioning
of
work
or
gun,
etc.
Codes
1
through
6
may
be
used
as
outlined
in
Table
4-2.
When
codes
1
through
3
are
used,
the
next
program
will
start
at
the
end
of
the
Pause
sequence.
When
codes
4
through
6
are
used,
the
next
program
will
start
after
a
limit
switch
closure.
When
code
0
is
us
ed,
the
unit
will
advance
to
the
next
pro
gram
but
will
not
start
the
program.
If
a
timed
Pause
is
required,
enter
0-99.8
seconds.
If
an
untimed
Pause
is
required,
enter
99.9
seconds;
the
unit
requires
a
limit
switch
closure
to
advance
to
the
next
program.
Code
0
allows
halt
but
not
se
quence

B.
Codes
-
Each
sequence
(except
Standby)
uses
a
code.
The
code
defines
whether
the
sequence
is
timed
or
untimed
and
also
allows
or
disallows
the
operator
use
of
certain
controls
during
the
sequence.

Program
-
The

consists
of
a
related
group
of
sequences
that
control
a
weld
from
start
to
finish.
To
program
a
weld,
informa
tion
concerning
weld
parameters
for
each
se
quence
must
be
input
into
the
weld
control.
D.
Auxiliary
Outputs
-
The
auxiliary
outputs
A
and
B
can
be
used
for
such
things
as
regulating
fixture
movement
or
energizing
other
pieces
of
equipment.
The
outputs
can
change
(off
to
on)
at
the
beginning
of
each
sequence;
therefore
the
outputs
must
be
programmed
for
each
se
quence.
