hazardous to health. To protect the users from this danger, there should be enough
ventilation or fumes and gases should be thrown away from the breathing zone.
WELDING ARC MAY BURN: Proper mask, filter and protective glass should be used to
protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing. Skin

flammable screening and warn them not to watch the welding arc or expose themselves to
the arc rays.
WELDING SPARKS MAY CAUSE FIRE or EXPLOSION : Keep the flammable materials
away from the welding area and put the fire extinguisher on an easily accessible place.
Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small
cracks and the most tight openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any jerrycan, barrel,
tank or material if you are not sure that precautions were taken to avoid flammable and
poisonous gasses totally from the environment. Never operate this equipment when
flammable gases, vapors or liquid combustibles are present.
