PREPARATION OF THE WORKING AREA
The working area must be sufficiently spacious, not humid, and well-ventilated as to avoid any
fumes which develop from the welding process and from incidental material adhering to the
pieces to be welded (oils, paints, tars...) which may cause danger to the operator.
Avoid welding tanks which may contain flammable residuals.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN BE FATAL.
A person qualified in first aid should always be present in the working area.
If person is unconscious and electric shock is suspected, do not touch the
person if he or she is in contact with the welder or cables. Disconnect the
welder from the power source and then use First Aid. Dry wood, or other
insulating material can be used to move cables, if necessary, away from the
person.
