Hot Materials
• Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled
improperly.
• Do not touch welded materials with bare hands.
• Do not touch MIG gun nozzle after welding until it has had time
to cool down.
Sparks/Flying Debris
• Welding creates hot sparks that can cause injury. Chipping slag off
welds creates flying debris.
• Wear protective apparel at all times: ANSI-approved safety glasses or
shield, welder’s hat and ear plugs to keep sparks out of ears and hair.
Electromagnetic Field
• Electromagnetic fields can interfere with various electrical and
electronic devices such as pacemakers.
• Consult your doctor before using any electric arc welder or cutting
device
• Keep people with pacemakers away from your welding
area when welding.
• Do not wrap cable around your body while welding.
• Wrap MIG gun and ground cable together whenever possible.
• Keep MIG gun and ground cables on the same side of your body.
Shielding Gas Cylinders Can Explode
• High pressure cylinders can explode if damaged, so treat them carefully.
• Never expose cylinders to high heat, sparks, open flames, mechanical
shocks or arcs.
• Do not touch cylinder with MIG gun.
• Do not weld on the cylinder
• Always secure cylinder upright to a cart or stationary object.
• Keep cylinders away from welding or electrical circuits.
• Use the proper regulators, gas hose and fittings for
the specific application.
• Do not look into the valve when opening it.
• Use protective cylinder cap whenever possible
