WARNING!
Persons with pacemakers should not weld, cut or be in the welding area until they
consult with their physician. Some pacemakers are sensitive to EMF radiation and could severely
malfunction while welding or while being in the vicinity of someone welding. Serious injury or death
may occur!
Welding and plasma cutting processes generate electro-magnetic fields and radiation. While the
effects of EMF radiation are not known, it is suspected that there may be some harm from long term
exposure to electromagnetic fields. Therefore, certain precautions should be taken to minimize expo-
sure:

Lay welding leads and lines neatly away from the body.

Never coil cables around the body.

Secure cables with tape if necessary to keep from the body.

Keep all cables and leads on the same side the body.

Never stand between cables or leads.

Keep as far away from the power source (welder) as possible while welding.

Never stand between the ground clamp and the torch.

Keep the ground clamp grounded as close to the weld or cut as possible.
Welding and cutting processes pose certain inhalation risks. Be sure to follow any guidelines from
your chosen consumable and electrode suppliers regarding possible need for respiratory equipment
while welding or cutting. Always weld with adequate ventilation. Never weld in closed rooms or con-
fined spaces. Fumes and gases released while welding or cutting may be poisonous. Take precautions
at all times.
Any burning of the eyes, nose or throat are signs that you need to increase ventilation.

Stop immediately and relocate work if necessary until adequate ventilation is obtained.

Stop work completely and seek medical help if irritation and discomfort persists.
WARNING!
Do not weld on galvanized steel, stainless steel, beryllium, titanium, copper, cadmium,
lead or zinc without proper respiratory equipment and or ventilation.
WARNING!
This product when used for welding or cutting produces fumes and gases which con-
tains chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and in some cases cancer.
(California Safety and Health Code
WARNING!
Do not weld or cut around Chlorinated solvents or degreasing areas. Release of Phos-
gene gas can be deadly. Consider all chemicals to have potential deadly results if welded on or near
metal containing residual amounts of chemicals.
Keep all cylinders upright and chained to a wall or appropriate holding pen. Certain regulations re-
garding high pressure cylinders can be obtained from OSHA or local regulatory agency. Consult also
with your welding supply company in your area for further recommendations. The regulatory changes
are frequent so keep informed.
All cylinders have a potential explosion hazard. When not in use, keep capped and closed. Store
chained so that overturn is not likely. Transporting cylinders incorrectly can lead to an explosion. Do
not attempt to adapt regulators to fit cylinders. Do not use faulty regulators. Do not allow cylinders to
come into contact with work piece or work. Do not weld or strike arcs on cylinders. Keep cylinders
away from direct heat, flame and sparks.
