Cylinders
WARNING!
Gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure.
If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas
cylinders are normally part of the welding
process, be sure to treat them carefully.
1. Protect compressed gas cylinders from exces-
sive heat, mechanical shocks, and arcs.
2. Install and secure cylinders in an upright posi-
tion by chaining them to a stationary support or
equipment cylinder rack to prevent falling or tip-
ping.
3. Keep cylinders away from any welding or other
electrical circuits.
4. Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cyl-
inder.
5. Use appropriate shielding gas, regulators, hoses,
and fittings designed for the specific application;
maintain them and their associated parts in good
condition.
6. Turn your face away from the valve outlet when
opening the cylinder valve.
