2. ARC WELDING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
CYLINDER can explode if damaged.
A shielding gas cylinder contains high-pressure gas. If damaged, a cylinder can explode.
Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to handle them carefully.
1.
Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, gas regulator, hoses, and fittings designed for the
specific application; maintain them in good condition.
2.
Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shock, and arcs.
3.
Keep the cylinder upright and securely chained to a stationary support or a rack to prevent
falling or tipping.
4.
Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuit.
5.
Never touch cylinder with welding electrode.
6.
Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and the
CGA publication P-1 listed in PRINCIPAL SAFETY STANDARDS.
7.
Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve.
8.
Keep protective cap in place over valve except when gas cylinder is in use or connected for
use.
9.
Do not disassemble or repair the gas regulator except if you are authorized by the
manufacturer.
