SAFETY

Mar ‘95

ARC WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.

Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommend-

ed that you purchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding

Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding

Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio

44117-1199.

BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE

PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

WARNING

ARC RAYS can burn.

2.a. Use a shield with the proper filter

and cover plates to protect your

eyes from sparks and the rays of

the arc when welding or observing

open arc welding. Headshield and

filter lens should conform to ANSI

Z87. I standards.

2.b.Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-

resistant material to protect your skin and that of

your helpers from the arc rays.

2.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable,

non-flammable screening and/or warn them not

to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the

arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

FOR ELECTRICALLY

powered equipment.

1.a. Turn off input power using the dis-

connect switch at the fuse box

before working on the equipment.

1.b.Install equipment in accordance with the U.S.

National Electrical Code, all local codes and the

manufacturer’s recommendations.

1.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the

U.S. National Electrical Code and the manufac-

turer’s recommendations.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC

FIELDS may be dangerous

3.a. Electric current flowing through

any conductor causes localized

Electric and Magnetic Fields

(EMF). Welding current creates

EMF fields around welding cables

and weldingmachines

3.b.EMF fields may interfere with some pacemak-

ers, and welders having a pacemaker should

consult their physician before welding.

3.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have

other health effects which are now not known.

3.d.All welders should use the following procedures

in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from

the welding circuit:

3.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together

- Secure them with tape when possible.

3.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your

body.

3.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode

and work cables. If the electrode cable is on

your right side, the work cable should also be

on your right side.

3.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as

close as possible to the area being welded.

3.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
