Splashes, flying sparks
WARNING!
Welding generates sparks and - hot spatter. They can ignite combustible materials and
generate explosions. Contact with body parts may entail injuries.
Therefore:
Before you tackle any welding jobs, make sure there are no combustible and / or
explosive materials in the work area.
Do not carry out welding jobs in the vicinity of pressure vessels, tanks, oil barrels,
paint cans and / or in a work area with an explosive atmosphere.
Have fire extinguishing gear ready at hand.
Make sure access and escape routes are not blocked.
During any and all welding jobs: be sure to be wearing a face screen, non-
inflammable safety clothing and welder's gloves.
Do not carry easily inflammable objects in your pockets (matches, lighters etc.).
Hot surfaces

Electrodes may heat up to 80 degrees centigrade approx. Stock may have up to
100 degrees right after welding. So there is an acute risk of burning yourself.
Therefore:
Never work without proper safety clothes and gloves near hot components.
Let freshly welded parts cool down to ambient temperature before you go on to
work with them.
