SECTION 1 − SAFETY PRECAUTIONS − READ BEFORE USING Protect yourself and others from injury — read and follow these precautions. 1-1. Symbol Usage DANGER! − Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text. - Page 6 FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous. Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. 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.
