ELECTRIC SHOCK
Electric Shock can injure or kill. The arc welding
process uses and produces high voltage electrical
energy. This electric energy can cause severe or
fatal shock to the operator or others in the
workplace
•
Never touch any parts that are electrically
“live” or “hot”.
•
Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate
yourself from the work piece or other parts of
the welding circuit.
•
Repair or replace all worn ar damage parts.
•
Extra care must be taken when the workplace
is moist or damp.
•
Install and mantain equipment according to
NEC code, refer to item 4 in Subsection 1.03,
Publications.
•
Disconnect power source before performing
any service or repairs.
•
Read and follow all the instruction in the
Operating Manual.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag,
sparks or the arc weld.
•
Be sure there is no combustible or flammable
material in the workplace. Any material that
cannot be removed must be protected.
•
Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapors
from the workplace.
•
Do not cut or weld on containers that may
have held combustibles.
•
Provide a fire watch when working in an area
where fire hazards may exist.
•
Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped
under aluminium workpieces when they
are cut underwater or while using a water
table.
DO NOT cut aluminium alloys
underwater or on a water table unless the
hydrogen gas can be eliminated or
dissipated. Trapped hydrogen gas that is
ignited will cause an explosion.
NOISE
Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Arc
welding/cutting processes can cause noise levels
to exceed safe limits. You must protect your ears
from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of
hering.
•
To protect your hearing from loud noise wear
protective ear plugs and/or ear muffs. Protect
others in the workplace.
•
Noise levels should be measured to be sure the
decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels.
• For information on how to test for noise,
see item 1 in Subsection 1.03, Publications,
in this manual.
ARC WELDING RAYS
Arc Welding/Cutting Rays can injure your
eyes and burn your skin. The arc welding
cutting process produces very bright ultra
violet and infra red light. These arc rays will
damage your eyes and burn your skin if you
are not properly protected.
•
To protect your eyes, always wear a welding
helmet or shield. Also always wear safety
glasses with side shields goggles or other
protective eye wear.
•
Wear welding gloves and suitable clothing to
protect your skin from the arc rays and sparks
