9-5. Welding Work

Warning: Suffocation from Welding Fume
• Always be sure to wear a fume-proof mask when welding as the fumes
generated during welding include harmful gases and dust. Also be careful that
the wind direction is not such that it will cause fumes to be inhaled and always
operate the equipment in a well-ventilated area.
Warning: Fire
• Keep any ignitable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or inflammable items away
from the work area due to the scattering of weld spatter that occurs during
welding.
Warning: Electromagnetic Interference
• Persons using a heart pacemaker are not allowed near the welder or welding
work area while welding is being performed without the permission of a doctor.
The welder generates a magnetic field while energized that can negatively affect
pacemaker operation.
Caution: Injury to Eyes and Skin
• Always be sure to wear arc-proof glasses (refer to the table below), clothes that
completely cover the skin and other protective gear when welding to protect the
eyes and skin from harmful light rays generated during welding.

• Always be sure to wear leather gloves, apron, shoe covers, arc-proof glasses
(face shield), safety shoes, hard hat and long-sleeve clothing to protect against
the scattering of weld spatter that occurs during welding.
Caution: Electric Shock
• If wearing gloves, be sure to always wear gloves with dry insulation properties.
Do not wear gloves that are damaged or wet.
