CYLINDER can explode if damaged.
A shielding gas cylinder contains high-pressure gas. If damaged, a cylinder can explode.
Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to treat them carefully.
1. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fittings designed for the
specific application; maintain them in good condition.
2. Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shock, and arcs.
3. Keep the cylinder upright and securely chained to a stationary support or a rack to prevent
falling or tipping.
4. Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuit.
5. Never touch cylinder with welding electrode.
6. Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and the
CGA publication P-1 listed in PRINCIPAL SAFETY STANDARDS.
7. Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve.
8. Keep protective cap in place over valve except when gas cylinder is in use or connected for
use.
Rotating parts may cause injuries. Be sure to observe the following.
If hands, fingers, hair or clothes are put near the fan’s rotating parts or wire feeder’s feed roll,
injuries may occur.
1. Do not use the welding machine if the case and the cover are removed.
2. When the case is removed for maintenance/inspection and repair, certified or experienced
operators must perform the work. Erect a fence, etc. around the welding machine to keep
others away from it.
3. Do not put hands, fingers, hair or clothes near the rotating fans or wire feed roll.
