17. The tong tips, tongs, and linkages move during operation.
a. Keep away from moving parts.
b. Keep away from pinch points.
c. Do not put hands between tips.
d. OSHA and/or local codes may require additional guarding to suit the application.
18. Overuse can cause overheating. Allow a cooling period; follow the rated duty cycle. Reduce the duty cycle
before starting to weld again.
SPARKS
Flying sparks can injure, very often sparks fly off from the joint area.
1. Wear approved face shield or safety goggles with side shields.
2. Wear protective clothing such as oil-free, flame-resistant leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless pants, high
shoes, and a cap. Synthetic material usually does not provide such protection.
3. Protect other in nearby areas by using approved flame-resistant or noncombustible fire curtains or
shields. Have all nearby persons wear safety glasses with side shields.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Arc welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal drops and hot metal parts that can
start fires.
1. Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible and/or flammable materials. Hot debris ejected
during welding can land at a considerable distance way. Solid floors of concrete or masonry is the
preferred working surface.
a. Cover any combustible material with fire resistant covers or shields, if it cannot be removed.
2. Check that there are no openings or cracks that hot debris can enter.
3. Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible material. Remove the combustible material
before welding.
4. Have a fire extinguisher available for immediate use. A dry chemical fire extinguisher with
Types A, B and C is suggested.
a. Welding a combustible metal like zinc, magnesium or titanium requires a Type D fire extinguisher.
b. Do not use liquid based fire extinguishing methods near the electric arc welding unit, as it may cause
a shock hazard.
5. Do not perform any welding work on containers that held flammable or toxic substance until they are
cleaned by a person trained in removing toxic and flammable substances and vapours.
6. Open a container before performing any welding work on it. The heat generated by the welding process
will cause the air and gases to expand. The internal pressure may cause a sealed or closed container to
rupture, possibly causing an injury or death.
