SAFETY
Ⅰ
SELF-PROTECTION
Keep safety guards, devices and covers 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.
When a power generator is used, never attempt to override the governor or adjust the idler or throttle
control rods while the engine is running.
FUEL HAZARDS
When a power generator is used, never add fuel to a running or hot engine. Allow the engine to cool
down before refueling, clean any spillage and allow fumes to evaporate before restarting.
WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE EXPLOSION.
Flammable material should be removed from the welding area or, if removal is not possible, such
materials should be covered with non-flammable material. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a
fire extinguisher readily available.
Special precautions should be in place when compressed gases are to be used. Protection of gas lines
is important.
When the electrode is not active, care should be taken to ensure that it is safely removed from the
workpiece. Accidental contact with the workpiece or the grounding clamp can result in overheating and
create a fire hazard.
Unless proper prescribed procedures for ensuring that tanks are free from combustible material,
welding, cutting or heating these items are prohibited.
Preventing explosion of hollow castings and containers will require venting before heating, cutting or
welding.
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather
gloves, heavy shirt, cuff-less trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when
welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
