2. ARC WELDING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued) WELDING can cause fire and explosion. Sparks and spatter fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot metal, spatter, hot base metal and hot equipment can cause fire and explosion. Accidental contact of electrode or welding wire to metal object can cause sparks, overheating, or fire.

2. ARC WELDING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued) CYLINDER can explode if damaged. A shielding gas cylinder contains high-pressure gas. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to handle them carefully. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, gas regulator, hoses, and fittings designed for the specific application;...
