-Keep a fire extinguisher close in the case of fire.
-Wear garments that are oil-free with no pockets
or cuffs that will collect sparks.
-Do not have on your person any items that are
combustible, such as lighters or matches.
-Keep work lead connected as close to the weld
area as possible to prevent any unknown,
unintended paths of electrical current from
causing electrical shock and fire hazards.
-To prevent any unintended arcs, cut wire back
to stick out ¼" after welding.
Hot Materials
Welded materials are hot and can
cause severe burns if handled
improperly.
-Do not touch welded materials with bare hands.
-Do not touch MIG gun nozzle after welding until
it has had time to cool down.
Sparks/Flying Debris
Welding creates hot sparks that can
cause injury. Chipping slag off welds creates
flying debris.
-Always wear protective apparel: ANSI-
approved safety glasses or shield, welder’s hat
and ear plugs to keep sparks out of ears and
hair.
Electromagnetic Field
-Electromagnetic fields can interfere
with various electrical and electronic
devices such as pacemakers.
-Consult your doctor before using any electric
arc welder or cutting device.
-Keep people with pacemakers away from your
welding area when welding.
-Do not wrap cable around your body while
welding.
-Wrap MIG gun and ground cable together
whenever possible.
-Keep MIG gun and ground cables on the same
side of your body.
Shielding Gas Cylinders Can
Explode
High pressure cylinders can explode if
damaged, so treat them carefully.
-Never expose cylinders to high heat, sparks,
open flames, mechanical shocks or arcs.
-Do not touch cylinder with MIG gun.
-Do not weld on the cylinder.
-Always secure cylinder upright to a cart or
stationary object.
-Keep cylinders away from welding or electrical
circuits.
-Use the proper regulators, gas hose and fittings
for the specific application.
-Do not look into the valve when opening it.
-Use protective cylinder cap whenever possible.
1.5 Proper Care, Maintenance and Repair
-Always have power disconnected when
working on internal components.
- Do not touch or handle PC board without being
properly grounded with a wrist strap. Put PC
board in static proof bag to move or ship.
-Do not put hands or fingers near moving parts
such as drive rolls or fan
.
WARNING
Breathing welding fumes exposes you to
chemicals, including chromium (hexavalent
compounds), known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. *Always weld in a well-
ventilated area. * If in an enclosed area, vent
the exhaust to the outside. For more
