SAFE PRACTICES WHEN USING
WELDING EQUIPMENT

Eye Protection
NEVER LOOK AT AN ARC WITHOUT
PROTECTION. Wear a helmet with safety
goggles or glasses with side shields
underneath, with appropriate filter lenses
protected by clear cover lens. This is a
MUST for welding, cutting, and chipping to
protect the eyes from radiant energy and
flying metal. Replace the cover lens when
broken, pitted, or spattered.
