Use
pressure

(available
from
your
supplier)
for safe
and
efficient,
recommended pressure
settings
on
regulators.
It
will reduce

regularly
there
after. Brush with so~ solution

of
water).
Bubbles indicate leak. Clean

ARC WELDING
Comply
with
precautions
in 1-2 and this section. Arc
Weld
ing, properly
done,
is
a
safe
process,
but
a
careless operator
invites trouble. The
equipment
carries
high
currents at
signifi.
cant
voltages.
The
arc
is
very
bright
and hot.
Sparks fly,
fumes
rise,
ultraviolet
and infrared energy
radiates,
weld
menis
are
hot,
and
compressed
gases may be used. The wise
operator
avoids unnecessary
risks and
protects
himself and
others from accidents. Precautions
are
described here and in
standards referenced in index.
A.
Burn Protection
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-2.
The
welding
arc
is
intense and
visibly
bright.
Its radiation
can
damage
eyes,
penetrate
lightweight clothing,
reflect
from
light-colored
surfaces,
and burn the skin and eyes. Skin burns
resemble
acute
sunburn,
those
from
gas-shielded
arcs
are
more
severe
and
painful.
DONT
GET
BURNED;
COMPLY
WITH PRECAUTIONS.
1.
Protective
Clothing
Wear
long-sleeve clothing (particularly
for
gas-shielded
arc)
in
addition
to
gloves, hat,
and shoes
ll-2A).
As necessary,
use
additional
protective
clothing
such
as
leather
jacket
or
sleeves,
flame-proof
apron, and
fire-resistant
leggings.
Avoid
outergarments of untreated
cotton.
Bare skin
protection.
Wear
dark,
substantial
clothing.
Button
collar
to
protect
chest
and neck and button
pockets
to
pre
vent
entry of
sparks.
2.
Eye
and
Head Protection
Protect
eyes
from exposure
to
arc.
NEVER
look
at
an
elec
tric
arc
without
protection.
Welding
helmet
or
shield
containing
a
filter
plate
shade no.9
or
denser
must
be used when
welding.
Place
over
face before
striking
arc.
Protect filter
plate
with
a
clear
cover
plate.
Cracked
or
broken helmet
or
shield
should NOT be
worn;
radiation
can
pass
through
to
cause
burns.
Cracked,
broken,
or
loose filter
plates
must
be
replaced
IM
MEDIATELY.
Replace
clear
cover
plate
when
broken,
pitted.
or
spattered.
Flash
goggles
with
side shields MUST be
worn
under the
helmet
to
give
some
protection
to
the eyes should
the helmet
not
be lowered
over
the
face
before
an
arc
is struck.
Looking
at
an
arc
momentarily
with
unprotected
eyes
(particularly
a
high intensity gas-shielded
arc)
can
cause
a
retinal burn that
may
leave
a
permanent dark
area
in
the field
of vision.
3.
Protection of
Nearby
Personnel
Enclosed
welding
area.
For
production welding,
a
separate
room
or
enclosed
bay
is best.
In open
areas,
surround
the
operation
with
low-reflective,
non-combustible
screens
or
panels.
Allow
for
free
air
circulation, particularly
at
floor
level.
Viewing
the weld. Provide face shields for all persons who
will be
looking directly
at
the weld.
Others
working
in
area.
See that all persons
are
wearing
flash
goggles.
Before
starting
to
weld,
make
sure
that
screen
flaps
or
bay
doors
are
closed.
B.
Toxic Fume Prevention
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-2B.
Generator
engine
exhaust
must
be vented
to
the
outside air.
Carbon monoxide
can
kill.
C.
Fire and
Explosion
Prevention
Comply
with
precautions
in
1-2C.
Equipments
rated
capacity.
Do
not
overload
arc
welding
equipment.
It
may
overheat cables and
cause
a
fire.
Loose cable connections
may
overheat
or
flash and
cause
a
fire.
Never strike
an
arc
on
a
cylinder
or
other pressure vessel, It
creates
a
brittle
area
that
can cause
a
violent
rupture
or
lead
to
such
a
rupture later under
rough handling.
D.
Compressed
Gas
Equipment
Comply
with
precautions
in 1-2D.
E.
Shock Prevention
Exposed
hot conductors
or
other bare metal in the
welding
circuit,
or
in
ungrounded, electrically-HOT equipment
can
fatally
shock
a
person whose
body
becomes
a
conductor. DO
NOT
STAND, SIT, LIE,
LEAN
ON,
OR TOUCH
a
wet
sur
face when
welding,
without suitable
protection.
To protect
against
shock:
Keep
body
and
clothing
dry.
Never work in
damp
area
with
out
adequate
insulation
against
electrical shock.
Stay
on
a
dry duckboard,
or
rubber
mat
when
dampness
or
sweat
can
not
be avoided.
Sweat,
sea
water,
or
moisture between
body
and
an
electrically
HOT
part
-
or
grounded
metal
-
reduces
the
body
surface electrical
resistance,
enabling dangerous
and
possibly
lethal
currents to
flow
through
the
body.
1.
Grounding
the
Equipment
When
installing,
connect
the
frames of each
unit such
as
welding
power source,
control,
work
table,
and
water
circula
tor
to
the
building ground.
Conductors
must
be
adequate
to
carry
ground
currents
safely. Equipment
made
electrically
HOT
by
stray
current
may
shock, possibly fatally.
Do NOT
GROUND
to
electrical
conduit,
or
to
a
pipe carrying
ANY
gas
or
a
flammable
liquid
such
as
oil
or
fuel.
Three-phase
connection. Check
phase
requirement
of
equip
ment
before
installing.
If
only 3-phase
power is
available,
connect
single-phase equipment
to
only
two
wires
of the
3-phase
line. Do NOT
connect
the
equipment ground
lead
to
the third
(live)
wire,
or
the
equipment
will become electri
cally
HOT
-
a
dangerous
condition that
can
shock, possibly
fatally.
Before
welding,
check
ground
for
continuity.
Be
sure
conduc
tors
are
touching
bare metal of
equipment
frames
at
connec
tions.
If
a
line cord with
a
ground
lead is
provided
with the
equip
ment
for connection
to
a
switchbox,
connect
the
ground
lead
to
the
grounded
switchbox. If
a
three-prong plug
is
added
for
connection
to
a
grounded mating receptacle,
the
ground
lead
must
be
connected
to
the
ground
prong
only.
If the line cord
comes
with
a
three-prong plug,
connect
to
a
grounded mating
receptacle.
Never
remove
the
ground
prong from
a
plug,
or
use
a
plug
with
a
broken off
ground
prong.
