ARC RAYS can Burn Eyes & Skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and
infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
• Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and
eyes when welding or watching. Refer to Lens Shade Selection table in Section 1-4.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and sparks;
warn others not to watch the arc.
• Wear body protection made from durable, flame resistant material (leather, heavy
cotton wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy
shirt, cuff-less trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
• Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application.
• Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is
struck. See the Owner’s Manual for more information.
