STUD WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. ALWAYS PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
FROM POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
Operators who have a pacemaker should consult with their physician before operating stud weld-
ing equipment.
FUMES and OXYGEN DEPLETION
Only weld in areas or rooms where adequate ventilation of weld gases is possible and where
there is not fire, smoke or explosion hazards.
When working in a confined space always have trained support personnel nearby.
Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be
sure the breathing air is safe.
Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of
the arcs can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel. The coating
must be removed from the area to be welded. Coatings and metals containing above elements
can generate toxic fumes when heated to welding temperature.
