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.
