Arc rays can burn
• Use a shield with the proper lter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the
arc when welding or observing open arc welding.
• Use suitable clothing made from durable ame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your
helpers from the arc rays.
• Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non- ammable screening and /or warn them not to
watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
Self-protection
• Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair,
clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or
repairing equipment.
• Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by
pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.
DO NOT adds the fuel near an open ame welding arc or when the engine is running.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from
vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when lling
tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been
eliminated.
Welding sparks can cause re or explosion.
• Remove re hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding
sparks from starting a re. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go
through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a re
extinguisher readily available.
• Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent
hazardous situation.• When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the
work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a re hazard.
• Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure
that such procedures will not cause ammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause
an explosion even though they have been "cleaned".
• Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
