2.2 Safety Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to heed these safety precautions may result in severe property
damage, bodily injury or death.
Protect yourself and others. Fumes and gases developed may be dangerous to your
health. Arc rays and splatter can injure eyes and exposed skin. Electric shock can
kill.

The operator and all bystanders must always wear adequate protective clothing,
shoes and welder’s gloves when Prime-Cut systems are being used.

5 or 6 shade filter.
Always use the Leather Shield to protect yourself from sparks and splatter.
Always keep your head away from the fume plume.
Always use adequate ventilation and exhaust at the arc point to keep fumes and
gases from your breathing zone and the general area. Special breathing apparatus
must be used when welding or cutting galvanized, cadmium plated (or other heavy
metal plated) or painted parts to avoid inhalation of toxic fumes.
Always keep the ignited tip of the rod away from the oxygen cylinder, battery and
hoses.
Always use extreme caution when operating the torch in windy or adverse
conditions.
Never allow falling sparks or molten metal to contact any part of the Prime-Cut

Always keep oil and grease away from oxygen cylinders, valves, regulators, hoses
and fittings.
