PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FLYING SPARKS AND ARC RAYS
It is essential for every person in the immediate work area to wear/utilize proper
personal protection equipment. There is a possibility that sparks can fly off from
the weld joint area; therefore, take the necessary precautions to avoid trapping a
spark within your own clothing.
• Wear protective garments such as oil-free, flame-resistant leather gloves,
heavy shirt, cuff-less trousers, high shoes, and a cap. Avoid synthetic fibers as they melt
easily.
• Use an approved face shield or safety goggles with side shields when welding or when
observing others performing welds.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR HOT METAL AND CABLES
Welding material that has a high thermal conductivity will cause metal to heat rapidly. Repetitive
welds in the same location can also cause metal to heat rapidly.
• Avoid touching weld spots immediately after the weld has been performed
as they will be hot.
• Do not touch hot weld areas barehanded.
• Allow sufficient cooling time before handling welded pieces.
• Welding cables can become extremely hot. After extended use, be cautious when handling
the weld cables.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR FUMES AND GASES
Welding can produce fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to
your health. Sunstone weld heads produce minimal fumes and gases when compared to large-
scale weld heads. Though not required, some form of ventilation is recommended.
• Keep fumes away from face.
• Do not breathe the fumes.
• Ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the weld spot to
remove welding fumes.
• If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
• Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the manufacturer’s
