INTRODUCTION
-
We
learn
by
experience.
Learning
safety
through
personal
experience,
like
a
child
touching
a
hot
stove
is
harmful,
wasteful,
and
un
wise.
Let
the
experience
of
others
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
welding
and
cutting
are
described
in
this
manual.
Research,
development,
and
field
experience
have
evolved
reliable
equipment
and
safe
installation,
opera-
-
~.
tion,
and
servicing
practices.
Accidents
occur
when
equipment
is
improperly
used
or
maintained.
The
reason
for
the
safe
practices
may
not
always
be
given.
Some
are
based
on
common
sense,
others
may
require
technical
volumes
to
explain.
It
is
wiser
to
follow the
rules.
Read
and
understand
these
safe
practices
before
at
tempting
to
install,
operate,
or
service
the
equipment.
Comply
with
these
procedures
as
applicable
to
the
par
ticular
equipment
used
and
their
instruction
manuals,
for
personal
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
others.
Failure
to
observe
these
safe
practices
may
cause
serious
injury
or
death.
When
safety
becomes
a
habit,
the
equipment
can
be
used
with
confidence.
These
safe
practices
are
divided
into
two
Sections:
1
-
General
Precautions,
common
to
arc
welding
and
cutting;
and
2
-
Arc
Welding
(and
Cutting)
(only).
Reference
standards:
Published
Standards
on
safety
are
also
available
for
additional
and
more
complete
pro
cedures
than those
given
in
this
manual.
They
are
listed
in
the
Standards
Index
in
this
manual.
ANSI
Z49.1
is
the
most
complete.
The
National
Electrical
Code,
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
Administration,
local
industrial
codes,
and
local
inspection
requirements
also
provide
a
basis
for
equip
ment
installation,
use,
and
service.

GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
Different
arc
welding
processes,
electrode
alloys,
and
fluxes
can
produce
different
fumes,
gases,
and
radiation
levels.
In
addition
to
the
information
in
this
manual,
be
sure
to
consult
flux
and
elec
trode
manufacturers
for
specific
technical
data
and
precautionary
measures
concerning
their
material.
A.
Burn
Prevention
Wear
protective
clothing
-
gauntlet
gloves
designed
for
use
in
welding,
hat,
and
high
safety-toe
shoes.
Button
shirt
collar
and
pocket
flaps,
and
wear
cuffless
trousers
to
avoid
entry
of
sparks
and
slag.
Wear
helmet
with
safety
goggles
or
glasses
with
side
shields
underneath,
appropriate
filter
lenses
or
plates
(protected
by
clear
cover
glass).
This
is
a
MUST
for
welding
or
cutting,
(and
chipping)
to
protect
the
eyes

or
death
can
result
from
fumes,
vapors,
heat,
or
oxygen
enrichment
or
depletion
that
welding
(or
cutting)
may
produce.
Prevent
them
with
adequate
ventilation
as
described
in
ANSI Stan
dard
Z49.1
listed
1
in
Standards
index.
NEVER
ventilate
with
oxygen.
Lead
-,
cadmium
-,
zinc
-,
mercury
-,
and
beryllium

bearing
and
similar
materials,
when
welded
(or
cut)
may
produce
harmful
concentrations
of
toxic
fumes.
Ade
quate
local
exhaust
ventilation
must
be
used,
or
each
person
in
the
area as
well
as
the
operator
must
wear
an
air-supplied
respirator.
For
beryllium,
both
must
be
us
ed.
Metals
coated
with
or
containing
materials
that
emit
toxic
fumes
should
not
be
heated
unless
coating
is
removed
from
the
work
surface,
the
area
is
well
ven
tilated,
or
the
operator
wears
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Work
in
a
confined
space
only
while
it
is
being
ven
tilated
and,
if
necessary,
while
wearing
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Gas
leaks
in
a
confined
space
should
be
avoided.
Leaked
gas
in
large
quantities
can
change
oxygen

dangerously.
Do
not
bring
gas

to
prevent
possible
accumulation
of
gases
in

or
left
open.
Check
to
be
sure
that
the
space
is
safe
before
re-entering
it.
Vapors
from
chlorinated
solvents
can
be
decomposed
by

C.
Fire
and
Explosion
Prevention
Causes
of
fire
and
explosion
are:
combustibles
reached
by
the
arc,
flame,
flying
sparks,
hot
slag
or
heated
material;
misuse
of
compressed
gases
and
cylinders;
and
short
circuits.
BE
AWARE
THAT
flying
sparks
or
falling
slag
can
pass
through
cracks,
along
pipes,
through
windows
or
doors,
and
through
wall
or
floor
openings,
out
of
sight
of
the
goggled
operator.
Sparks
and
slag
can
fly
35
feet.
To
prevent
fires
and
explosion:
Keep
equipment
clean
and
operable,
free
of
oil,
grease,
and
(in
electrical
parts)
of
metallic
particles
that
can
cause
short
circuits.
If
combustibles
are
in
area,
do
NOT
weld
or
cut.
Move
the
work
if
practicable,
to
an
area
free
of
combustibles.
Avoid
paint
spray
rooms,
dip
tanks,
storage
areas,
yen
tilators.
If
the
work
cannot
be
moved,
move
com
bustibles
at
least
35
feet
away
out
of
reach
of
sparks
and
heat;
or
protect
against
ignition
with
suitable
and
snug-fitting,
fire-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Walls
touching
combustibles
on
opposite
sides
should
not
be
welded
on
(or
cut).
Walls,
ceilings,
and
floor
near
work
should
be
protected
by
heat-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Fire
watcher
must
be
standing
by
with
suitable
fire
ex
tinguishing
equipment
during
and
for
some
time
after
welding
or
cutting
if:
a.
appreciable
combustibles
(including
building
construction)
are
within
35
feet
b.
appreciable
combustibles
are
further
than
35
feet
but
can
be
ignited
by
sparks
c.
openings
(concealed
or
visible)
in
floors
or
walls
within
35
feet
may
expose
com

to
sparks
d.
combustibles
adjacent
to
walls,
ceilings,
roofs,
or
metal
partitions
can
be
ignited
by
radiant
or
conducted
heat.
Hot
work
permit
should
be
obtained
before
operation
to
ensure
supervisors
approval
that
adequate
precautions
have
been
taken.
After
work
is
done,
check
that
area
is
free
of
sparks,
glowing
embers,
and
flames.
An
empty
container
that
held
combustibles,
or
that
can
produce
flammable
or
toxic
vapors
when
heated,
must
never
be
welded
on
or

Drain
regulator
of
residual
gas
through
suitable
vent
before
opening

valve
in
following
position:
For
oxygen,
and
inert
gases,
open
fully
to
seal
stem
against
possible
leak.
For
fuel
gas,
open
to
less
than
one
turn
to
permit
quick
emergency
shutoff.
Use
pressure
charts
(available
from
your

To
protect
against
shock:
Keep
body
and
clothing
dry.
Never
work
in
damp
area
without
adequate
insulation
against
electrical
shock.
Stay
on
a
dry
duckboard,
or
rubber
mat
when
damp
ness
or
sweat
can
not
be
avoided.
Sweat,
sea
water,
or
moisture
between
body
and
an
electrically
HOT
part
-
or
grounded
metal
-
reduces
the
body
surface
electrical
resistance,
enabling
dangerous
and
possibly
lethal
currents
to
flow
through
the
body.
1.
Grounding
the
Equipment
When
arc
welding
equipment
is
grounded
according
to
the
National
Electrical
Code,
and
the
work
is
grounded
according
to
ANSI
Z49.1
Safety
In
Welding
And
Cut
ting,
a
voltage
may
exist
between
the
electrode
and
any
conducting
object.
Examples
of
conducting
objects
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
buildings,
electrical
tools,
work
benches,
welding
power
source
cases,
workpieces,
etc.
Never
touch
the
electrode
and
any
metal
object
unless
the
welding
power
source
is
off.
When
installing,
connect
the
frames
of
each
unit
such
as
welding
power
source,
control,
work
table,
and
water
circulator
to
the
building
ground.
Conductors
must
be
adequate
to
carry
ground
currents
safely.
Equipment
made
electrically
HOT
by
stray
current
may
shock,
possibly
fatally.
Do
NOT
GROUND
to
electrical
conduit,
or
to
a
pipe
carrying
ANY
gas
or
a
flammable
li
quid
such
as
oil
or

Three-phase
connection.
Check
phase
requirements
of
equipment
before
installing.
If
only
3-phase
power
is
available,
connect
single-phase
equipment
to
only
two
wires
of
the
3-phase
line.
Do
NOT
connect
the
equip
ment
ground
lead
to
the
third
(live)
wire,
or
the
equip
ment
will
become
electrically
HOT
-
a
dangerous
condi
tion
that
can
shock,
possibly
fatally.
Before
welding,
check
ground
for
continuity.
Be
sure
conductors
are
touching
bare
metal
of
equipment
frames
at
connections.
If
a
line
cord
with
a
ground
lead
is
provided
with
the
equipment
for
connection
to
a
switchbox,
connect
the
ground
lead
to
the
grounded
switchbox.
If
a
three-
prong
plug
is
added
for
connection
to
a
grounded
mating
receptacle,
the
ground
lead
must
be
connected
to
the
ground
prong
only.
If
the
line
cord
comes
with
a
-.
-
three-prong
plug,
connect
to
a
grounded
mating
recep
tacle.
Never
remove
the

prong
from
a
plug,
or
use
a
plug
with
a
broken
off
ground
prong.
