reproductive harm).
1. Avoid electrical shock. Do not permit electrically live parts, cables, or electrodes to contact skin,
clothing, or gloves. Protective clothing should be hole-free, dry.

the electrode holder to be sure that there are no protruding screw heads, and that all insulation is secure.
Do not weld unless you are insulated from ground and the work piece.
2. Avoid breathing fumes or gases. They can cause serous health problems. Use and active ventilation
system directly above the welding area. Keep your head out of the fumes.

your employer’s safety practices for arc welding.
5. Connect only to a code approved power source. Connect only to a grounding power source conforming
