-4-
Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment
and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet and
follow your employer’s safety practices.
ARCRAYS: Harmful to people’s eyes and
skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible
ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin.
Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from
sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding.
Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect
your skin and that of your coworkers from the arc rays.
Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and
/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to
hot spatter or metal.
SELF-PROTECTION
Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in
good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears,
fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing
equipment.
Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the
governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is
running.
DO NOT add any fuel near an open-flame welding arc or
when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before
refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine
parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up
