MBE4000 APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury from arc welding, gas welding, or cutting,
wear required safety equipment such as an arc welder’s face
plate or gas welder’s goggles, welding gloves, protective
apron, long sleeve shirt, head protection, and safety shoes.
Always perform welding or cutting operations in a well
ventilated area. The gas in oxygen/acetylene cylinders used
in gas welding and cutting is under high pressure. If a
cylinder should fall due to careless handling, the gage end
could strike an obstruction and fracture, resulting in a gas
leak leading to
fi
re or an explosion. If a cylinder should fall
resulting in the gage end breaking off, the sudden release
of cylinder pressure will turn the cylinder into a dangerous
projectile. Observe the following precautions when using
oxygen/acetylene gas cylinders:
□
Always wear required safety shoes.
□
Do not handle tanks in a careless manner or with greasy
gloves or slippery hands.
□
Use a chain, bracket, or other restraining device at all
times to prevent gas cylinders from falling.
□
Do not place gas cylinders on their sides, but stand
them upright when in use.
□
Do not drop, drag, roll, or strike a cylinder forcefully.
□
Always close valves completely when
fi
nished welding
or cutting.
