4.0 SUGGESTED SAFETY PRECAU-
TIONS
In any welding operation, it is the responsibil-
ity of the welder to observe certain safety rules to in-
sure his personal safety and to protect those working
near him.
Reference is directed, without endorsement or
recommendation, to ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding
and Cutting, and to AWG Publication A6,1-66, Rec-
ommended Safety Practices for Gas-Shield Arc Weld-
ing.
1. Always treat electricity with respect. Under
open circuit conditions, the welding machine
output voltage may be dangerous.
2. Don’t work on live circuits or conductors.
Disconnect the main power line before check-
ing the machine or performing any mainte-
nance operations.
3. Be sure the welding machine cabinet is
properly grounded to a good electrical ground.
4. Don’t stand in water or on a damp floor
while welding or weld in the rain. Avoid wear-
ing wet sweaty cloths when welding.
