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.

to
the
information
In
this
manual,
be
sure
to
consult

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

must
be
used,
or
each

in
the
area
as

Metals
coated
with
or
containing
materials
that
emit
toxic
fumes
should
not
be
heated
unless

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

open.
Check
to
be
sure
that
the
space
is
safe
before
re-entering
it.
Vapors
from
chlorinated

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
bustibles
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
cut,
unless
container
has
first
been
cleaned
as
described
in
AWS
Standard
A6.O,

leaks
externally.
Excessive
Creep
-
if
delivery
pressure
continues
to
rise
with
downstream
valve
closed.
Faulty
Gauge
-

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

INSTALLATION
3-1.
LOCATION
(Figure
3-1)
-
A
proper
installation
site
should
be
selected
for
the
welding
power
source
if
the
unit
is
to
provide
dependable
service,
and
remain
relatively
maintenance
free.
A
proper
installation
site
permits
freedom
of
air
move
ment
into
and
out
of
the
welding
power
source,
and
also
east
subjects
the
unit
to
dust,
dirt,
moisture,
and
corrosive
vapors.
A
minimum
of
18
inches
(457
mm)
of
unrestricted
space
must
be
maintained
between
the
welding
power
source
front
and
rear
panels
and
the
nearest
obstruction.
Also,
the
underside
of
the
welding
power
source
must
be
kept
completely
free
of
obstruc
tions.
The
installation
site
should
also
permit
easy
removal
of
the
welding
power
source
outer
enclosure
for
maintenance
functions.
IMPORTANT
__________
Do
not
p/ace
any
filtering
device
over
the
intake
air
passages
of
the
welding
power
source
as
this
would
restrict
the
volume
of
intake
air
and
thereby
subject
the
welding
power
source
internal
components
to
an
overheating
condition
and
subsequent
failure.
Warranty
is
void
if
any
type
of
filtering
device
is
used.
Holes
are
provided
in
the
welding
power
source
base
for
mounting
purposes.
Figure
3-1
gives
overall
dimensions
and
the
base
mounting
hole
layout.

CAUTION
1.
It
is
recommended
that
the
welding
cables
be
kept
as
short
as
possible,
be
placed
close
together,
and
be
of
adequate
current
carrying
capacity.
The
resistance
of
the
welding
cables
and
connections
causes
a
voltage
drop
which
is
added
to
the
voltage
of
the
arc.
Excessive
cable
resistance
may
result
in
overloading
as
well
as
reducing
the
maximum
current
output
capability
of
this
unit.
Proper
operation
is
to
a
great
extent
dependent
on
the
use
of
welding
cables
and
con
nections
that
are
in
good
condition
and
of
ade
quate
size.
2.
Use
Table
3-2
as
a
guide
for
selecting
cable
size
for
the
anticipated
maximum
weld
current
which
will
be
used.
Table
3-2
shows
total
cable
length
from
the
welding
power
source
to
the
resistance
grid
welding
station.
Select
the
size
cable
that
is
recommended
for
the
maximum
weld
current
that
is
to
be
used.
3.
Do
not
use
damaged
or
frayed
cables.
4.
Use
correct
lugs
on
the
weld
cables
to
connect
them
to
the
weld
output
terminals.
5.
Ensure
that
all
connections
are
clean
and
tight.
_________
ELECTRIC
SHOCK
can
kill.
Do
not
touch
live
electrical
parts.
Shut
down
the
we/ding
power
source
and
discon
nect
input
power
before
making
weld
output
con
nections.
Do
not
make
connections
to
weld
output
ter
minals
of
the
different
sections
(A
and
B)
unless
the
bus
bars
are
in
p/ace.
If
the
positive
output
terminal
of
one
section
(A,
for
ex
ample)
is
connected
to
the
negative
output
terminal
of
the
other
section
(B,
for
example),
two
times
the
normal
output
voltage
will
exist
between
the
remaining
two
output
terminals.
Consult
applicable
safety
codes.
~
Select
the
desired
polarity
before
making
weld
output
connections.
Choose
either
dc
straight
polarity
(electrode
negative)
or
reverse
polarity
(electrode
positive).
