-Keep work lead connected as close to the weld area as possible to prevent any unknown, unintended paths
of electrical current from causing electrical shock and fire hazards.
-To prevent any unintended arcs, cut wire back to
¼
" stick out after welding.
Hot Materials
Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly.
-Do not touch welded materials with bare hands.
-Do not touch MIG gun nozzle after welding until it has had time to cool down.
Sparks/Flying Debris
Welding creates hot sparks that can cause injury. Chipping slag off welds creates flying
debris.
-Wear protective apparel at all times: ANSI-approved safety glasses or shield, welder’s hat and
ear plugs to keep sparks out of ears and hair.
Electromagnetic Field
-Electromagnetic fields can interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as pacemakers.
-Consult your doctor before using any electric arc welder or cutting device
-Keep people with pacemakers away from your welding area when welding.
-Do not wrap cable around your body while welding.
-Wrap MIG gun and ground cable together whenever possible.
-Keep MIG gun and ground cables on the same side of your body.
