Do not breathe fumes produced by arc welding operation. These fumes are dangerous. If welding area cannot be adequately ventilated, be sure to use an air-supplied respirator.

lKeep head and face out of welding fumes.

lExtremely toxic fumes are created when galvanized or cadmium plated metals or metals which contain zinc, mercury or beryllium are heated. Complete the following precautions before performing electric arc welding operations on these metals:

a.Remove coating from base metal.

b.Make sure welding area is well ventilated.

c.Use an air-supplied respirator.

Always be sure welding area is secure and free of hazards (sparks, flames, glowing metal or slag) prior to leaving.

Be sure equipment is turned off and excess wire is cut off. Be sure cables are loosely coiled and out of the way. Be sure all metal and slag has cooled.

Cylinders can explode if damaged. Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to treat them carefully.

lProtect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks and arcs.
