<Welding>
(1) Observe the following conditions when welding:
· When welding near a tire, note that there is a danger of the tire
exploding if it is heated excessively.
· Do not try to weld or gas cut any container or pipe containing fuel
or oil. Remove the fuel or oil. It is good practice to put water in the
object before welding it.
(2) Wear a welding mask to protect your eyes.
(3) Using a welding mask will obstruct your sight. Organize the work
area properly before starting to weld or cut. In particular, move away
anything that can fall easily or be tripped over.
(4) Wear safety gloves.
(5) Hold the welder above the work whenever possible. If the welder must
be used below the work, wear a welder’s hat.
(6) When using gas to cut the cutting edge of the bucket, keep distance
between the cutting edge and the floor surface to less than 10 cm, to
prevent your legs from getting crushed by the cutting edge if it falls.
(7) When welding a new cutting edge to the bucket, weld a piece of angle
iron inside the bucket first, to prevent the bucket from being deformed.
Do not use a jack instead of welding in a piece of angle iron. Using a
jack creates the danger of the jack coming loose and popping out to
cause serious personal injury.
(8) Keep any flammables away from the welding area.
(9) Observe the following precautions when arc welding:
· Arc welding should only be performed by a qualified person.
· Use a safety holder.
· Use a welding machine equipped with a voltage reducing device if
welding is performed in a place where the welder might come into
contact with a conductor.
· Use caution to keep the safety holder from coming in contact with
the ground side. Do not place the safety holder on wet ground or a
wet floor.
· When chipping off slag after welding, wear safety glasses to protect
your eyes from flying slag.
<Press work>
(1) Make sure the hydraulic press workrest does not have any cracks.
(2) Do not bring your face or hand close to the press during operation.
(3) Place the platform in a stable position and keep it in place during
operation.
(4) Extend the ram as far as possible. Avoid using an intermediate jig.
