- Do not have on your person any items that are combustible, such as lighters or matches.
- Keep work lead connected as close to the weld area as possible to prevent any unknown, unintended
paths of electrical current from causing electrical shock and fire hazards.
- To prevent any unintended arcs, cut wire back to 6 mm stick out after welding.
Hot Materials
CAUTION
Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly.
- Do not touch welded materials with bare hands.
- Do not touch TIG gun nozzle after welding until it has had time to cool down.
Sparks/Flying Debris
CAUTION
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
CAUTION
- 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 TIG gun and ground cable together whenever possible.
- Keep TIG gun and ground cables on the same side of your body.
