F. There are sparks and spatters when welding. The welding worker must put on the oil-free protection
clothes, such as fur-lined gloves, dark shirt, trapped pants, high-top shoes and cap. When the welding
operation is conducted at abnormal positions or narrow places, wearing earplugs is also necessary. In
narrow areas, eye protection with lateral shade is also needed.
G. During the welding process, the connection between the work ( ground) cable and the work piece should
be as close as possible. When the work (ground) cable is connected with the building structure or other
places away from the welding area, it is liable to make the welding current flow through the lifting chain,
the lifting rope or some other stand-by circuit and this can lead to fire or the overheating of the lifting
chain until it fails.
5. Cylinder has a danger of explosion
A. Only gas cylinders containing accurate compressed shielding gas for welding can be used, and the
regulation of the gas pressure must be conducted correctly. Moreover, all used hoses and accessories
must meet the application requirements and be in good condition.
B. Utilize a tripod or a fixed support to fasten the gas cylinder and keep it in the vertical position. The gas
cylinder should located at:
a) A place that will prevent physical damage.
b) A place away at a safe distance from the welding or cutting operation, a gaseous heat resource or
fire and spatters.
C. The contact of the covered electrode, the electrode holder of some other charged objects to the gas
cylinder is forbidden.
D. Worker’s head and face should not face the outlet of gas valves when they are screwed open.
E. The valve protection should be kept installed and be screwed tightly unless it is being used.
F. You can obtain the P-1 “Safe Handling of Compressed Gas in Containers” published by CGA from the
compressed gas organization-----Jefferson Daves Highway, Arlington, VA22202. Read through and
understand the items on compressed gas cylinders and corresponding equipment.
6. Notes for electrical operations
A. Utilize the main switch on the fuse box to cut off the input power source before servicing this equipment.
B. Install the equipment according to the national electrical requirements, local laws and regulations and
the suggestions from the manufacturer.
C. The equipment should be grounded according to the national electrical requirements and the
suggestions from the manufacturer.
