SECTION 2 : GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR ARC
WELDING
• Avoid direct contact with the welding circuit: the no-load voltage supplied by the welding machine
can be dangerous under certain circumstances.
• When the welding cables are being connected, or checks and repairs are carried out, the welding
machine should be switched off and disconnected from the power supply outlet.
• Switch off the welding machine and disconnect it from the power supply outlet before replacing
consumable torch parts.
• Make the electrical connections and installation according to the safety rules and legislation in
force.
• The welding machine should be connected only and exclusively to a power source with the power
lead connected to earth.
• Make sure that the power supply plug is correctly connected to the earth protection outlet.
• Do not use the welding machine in damp or wet places and do not weld in the rain.
• Do not use cables with worn insulation or loose connections.
• Do not weld on containers or piping that contains or has contained flammable liquid or gaseous
products.
• Do not operate on materials cleaned with chlorinated solvents or near such substances.
• Do not weld on containers under pressure.
• Remove all flammable materials (e.g. wood, paper, rags etc) from the working area.
• Provide adequate ventilation or facilities for the removal of welding fumes near the arc; a systematic
approach is needed in evaluating the exposure limits for the welding fumes, which will depend on
their composition, concentration and the length of exposure itself.
