WARNING
:
ARC WELDING MAY PRODUCE FUMES
AND GASES THAT ARE HAZARDOUS TO THE HEALTH OF
THE OPERATOR AND PERSONNEL LOCATED WITHIN THE
WELDING WORKSPACE. EXPOSURE TO THESE FUMES
CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING CANCER,
HEART DISEASE, EARLY ONSET PARKINSON’S DISEASE
AND VARIOUS REPRODUCTIVE, RESPIRATORY AND
DIGESTIVE DISEASES.
1. DO NOT place your head near the welding arc; avoid
breathing fumes while welding. Ensure proper ventilation.
2. Welding hard-facing, galvanized, stainless and other
plated steels or metals produces highly toxic fumes.
Always read the MSDS for the product, metal or work
prior to welding. Exhaust, mechanical ventilation and
a respirator may be required for minimal exposure to
these fumes.
3. Cylinders and containers that may have held harmful
gases should be properly vented prior to welding.
Failure to ventilate these containers will produce toxic
gases that are harmful to the operator and all personnel
located within the workspace.
4. DO NOT weld near chlorinate hydrocarbons from
degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
5. Read and understand the product instructions and
MSDS sheet for any consumables or products used in
