11. Do not touch the electrode while in contact with
the work (ground) circuit.
12. Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or
replace damaged parts as soon as practical.
13. In confined spaces or damp locations, do not
use a welder with AC output unless equipped
with a voltage reducer.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense
heat and strong ultraviolet rays that can burn eyes
and skin. Use the following table to select the appro-
priate shade number for a Welding Helmet or Weld-
ing Face Shield.
1. Use a Welding Helmet or Welding Face Shield fit-
ted with a proper shade of filter (see AS 60974-1,
AS/NZS 1337.1 and AS/NZS 1338.1 Safety Stand-
ards) to protect your face and eyes when weld-
ing or watching.
2. Wear approved safety glasses. Side shields are
recommended.
3. Use protective screens or barriers to protect
others from flash and glare; warn others not to
watch the arc.
4. Wear protective clothing made from durable,
flame-resistant material (wool and leather) and
foot protection.
5. Never wear contact lenses while welding.
Fumes And Gases

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your
health.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe
the fumes.
2. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use an exhaust
