    1-1. Symbol Usage

    Means Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazardswith this procedure! The possible hazards are shown inthe adjoining symbols.

    Y Marks a special safety message.

    . Means Note; not safety related.

    This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! possibleELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards.Consult symbols and related instructions below for necessary actionsto avoid the hazards.

    1-2. Arc Welding Hazards

    Y The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual tocall attention to and identify possible hazards. When you seethe symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions toavoid the hazard. The safety information given below is onlya summary of the more complete safety information found inthe Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and follow allSafety Standards.

    Y Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and

    repair this unit.Y During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.

    ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

    Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocksor severe burns. The electrode and work circuit iselectrically live whenever the output is on. The inputpower circuit and machine internal circuits are also

    live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, thewire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching thewelding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperlygrounded equipment is a hazard.

    D Do not touch live electrical parts.D Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.D Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats

    or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the workor ground.D Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if

    there is a danger of falling.D Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.D If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on

    unit.D Additional safety precautions are required when any of the follow-

    ing electrically hazardous conditions are present: in damplocations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures suchas floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions suchas sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when there is a high risk of unavoid-able or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For theseconditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) asemiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual(stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit volt-

    age. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welderis recommended. And, do not work alone!D Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or

    servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according toOSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).

    D Properly install and ground this equipment according to itsOwners Manual and national, state, and local codes.

    D Always verify the supply ground check and be sure that inputpower cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal indisconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properlygrounded receptacle outlet.

    D When making input connections, attach proper grounding conduc-tor first double-check connections.

    D Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring replace cord immediately if damaged bare wiring can kill.

    D Turn off all equipment when not in use.D Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.D Do not drape cables over your body.D If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directly

    with a separate cable.D Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,

    or another electrode from a different machine.

    D Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding ma-chines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will bepresent.

    D Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damagedparts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.

    D Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.D Keep all panels and covers securely in place.D Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece

    or worktable as near the weld as practical.D Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent

    contact with any metal object.D Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any

    single weld output terminal.

    SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter-typewelding power sources after removal of inputpower.D Turn Off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge input

    capacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Sectionbefore touching any parts.

    Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathingthese fumes and gases can be hazardous to yourhealth.

    FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

    D Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.D If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the

    arc to remove welding fumes and gases.D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.

    D Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)and the manufacturers instructions for metals, consumables,coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.

    D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or whilewearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch-person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air andlower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breath-ing air is safe.

    D Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying op-erations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to formhighly toxic and irritating gases.

    D Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, orcadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weldarea, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-suppliedrespirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elementscan give off toxic fumes if welded.

    Arc rays from the welding process produce intensevisible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) raysthat can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from theweld.

    ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

    D Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of fil-ter lenses to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching(see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards).

    D Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under yourhelmet.

    D Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.

    D Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant mate-rial (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.

    Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparkscan fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hotworkpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and

    burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can causesparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area issafe before doing any welding.

    WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

    D Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If

    this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.D Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.

    D Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.

    D Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding caneasily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

    D Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

    D Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition cancause fire on the hidden side.

    D Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes,unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 (seeSafety Standards).

    D Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area aspractical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possiblyunknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire

    hazards.D Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at

    contact tip when not in use.

    D Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavyshirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

    D Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,from your person before doing any welding.

    D Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51Bfor hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.

    FLYING METAL can injure eyes.

    D Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding

    cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool,they can throw off slag.D Wear approved safety glasses with side

    shields even under your welding helmet.

    BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.

    D Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.D Always ventilate confined spaces or use

    approved air-supplied respirator.

    HOT PARTS can cause severe burns.

    D Do not touch hot parts bare handed.

    D Allow cooling period before working on gun ortorch.D To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or

    wear heavy, insulated welding gloves andclothing to prevent burns.

    MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers.

    D Pacemaker wearers keep away.D Wearers should consult their doctor before

    going near arc welding, gouging, or spotwelding operations.

    NOISE can damage hearing.Noise from some processes or equipment candamage hearing.

    D Wear approved ear protection if noise level ishigh.

    Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under highpressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Sincegas cylinders are normally part of the weldingprocess, be sure to treat them carefully.

    CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

    D Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechani-

    cal shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.D Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary

    support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.

    D Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits.

    D Never drape a welding torch over a gas cylinder.

    D Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder.

    D Never weld on a pressurized cylinder explosion will result.D Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fit-

    tings designed for the specific application; maintain them andassociated parts in good condition.

    D Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve.

    D Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is inuse or connected for use.

    D Use the right equipment, correct procedures, and sufficient num-

    ber of persons to lift and move cylinders.D Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders,

    associated equipment, and Compressed Gas Association (CGA)publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.

    1-6. EMF Information

    Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low FrequencyElectric And Magnetic FieldsWelding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro-

    magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about suchfields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the NationalResearch Council concluded that: The body of evidence, in thecommittees judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to beexamined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, youmay wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields whenwelding or cutting.To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the followingprocedures:

    1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.

    2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.

    3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

    4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from opera-tor as practical.

    5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possi-ble.

    About Pacemakers:Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor before welding or going nearwelding operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the aboveprocedures is recommended.

Il y a eu et il y a encore uncertain souci propos de tels champs. Cependant, aprs avoir examin

    plus de 500 tudes qui ont t faites pendant une priode de recherchede 17 ans, un comit spcial ruban bleu du National Research Council aconclu : Laccumulation de preuves, suivant le jugement du comit, napas dmontr que lexposition aux champs magntiques et champs lec-triques haute frquence reprsente un risque la sant humaine .Toutefois, des tudes sont toujours en cours et les preuves continuent tre examines. En attendant que les conclusions finales de la recherchesoient tablies, il vous serait souhaitable de rduire votre exposition auxchamps lectromagntiques pendant le soudage ou le coupage.Pour rduire les champs magntiques sur le poste de travail, appliquerles procdures suivantes :

    1. Maintenir les cbles ensemble en les tordant ou en les enveloppant.

    2. Disposer les cbles dun ct et distance de loprateur.

    3. Ne pas courber pas et ne pas entourer pas les cbles autour devotre corps.

    4. Garder le poste de soudage et les cbles le plus loin possible devous.

    5. Connecter la pince sur la pice aussi prs que possible de la sou-dure.

    En ce qui concerne les stimulateurs cardiaquesLes porteurs de stimulateur cardiaque doivent consulter leur mdecinavant de souder ou dapprocher des oprations de soudage. Si le mde-cin approuve, il est recommand de suivre les procdures prcdentes.
