If venlaon is poor, wear an approved respirator.
Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) and the manufacturer’s instrucons for
metals, consumable, coangs, cleaners, and de-greasers.
Do not weld in locaons near any de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operaons. Be aware that heat and
rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritang gases.
Do not weld on coated metals, unless the coang is removed from the weld area, the area is well
venlated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coangs on many metals can give o toxic
fumes if welded.
Prevenon against burns and radiaon
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin.
Wear an approved welding helmet ed with a proper shade of lter lens to protect your face and eyes
when welding or watching.
Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
Never use broken or faulty welding helmets.
Always ensure there are adequate protecve screens or barriers to protect others from ash, glare and
sparks from the welding area. Ensure that there are adequate warnings that welding or cung is taking
place.
Wear suitable protecve ame resistant clothing.
The sparks and spaer from welding, hot work pieces, and hot equipment can cause res and burns
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode.
Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause arcs, explosion, overheang, or re.
Check and be sure the area is safe and clear of inammable material before carrying out any welding.
Protecon against noise
Some welding and cung operaons may produce noise.
Wear safety ear protecon to protect your hearing.
Protecon from moving parts
When the machine is in operaon keep away from moving parts such as motors and fans. Moving parts,
such as the fan, may cut ngers and hands and snag garments.
Protecons and coverings may be removed for maintenance and controls only by qualied personnel,
aer rst disconnecng the power supply cable.
Replace the coverings and protecons and close all doors when the intervenon is nished, and before
starng the equipment.
Take care to avoid geng ngers trapped when loading and feeding wire during set up and operaon.
When feeding wire be careful to avoid poinng it at other people or toward your body.
