Immediately replace a cracked or broken helmet or a scratched or
damaged lens filter to avoid damage to the eyes or face from arc flash or
ejected molten material.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Arc welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal drops and
hot metal parts that can start fires.
1.
Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible and/or flammable
materials. Hot debris ejected during welding can land at a considerable
distance way. Solid floors of concrete or masonry is the preferred
working surface.
a.
Cover any combustible material with fire resistant covers or shields,
if it cannot be removed.
2. Check that there are no openings or cracks that hot debris can enter.
3.
Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible material. Remove the
combustible material before welding.
4.
Have a fire extinguisher available for immediate use. A dry chemical fire
extinguisher with
Types A, B and C is suggested.
