Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process
used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All
hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the welding application and maintained in
good condition with a proper installation.
Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or
fixed support.
Carefully choose the locations of the cylinders:
Cylinders should be kept away from areas where they may be struck or subjected
to physical damage.
Cylinders should be located to a safe distance from arc welding or cutting
operations and any other source of heat, sparks or flame.
Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically hot parts to touch
a cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder
valve.
Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the
cylinder is in use or connected for use (including the transportation of the cylinder).

Always keep all safety guards, coverings and equipments in place and maintain in good
condition. Always keep your hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belt, gears,
fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing the equipment.
In some cases, it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required
maintenance. Remove the guards only when necessary and replace them when the
maintenance requiring their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when
working near moving parts.
Never put your hands near to the cooling fan while it is operating.
To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning the engine or welding
generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or
magneto wire as appropriate.
