3. Keep cylinders away from any welding or
other electrical circuits.
4. Never weld on a pressurized cylinder - ex-
plosion will result.
5. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders,
regulators, hoses and fittings designed for the
specific application; maintain them and associ-
ated parts in good condition.
6. Turn face away from valve outlet when open-
ing cylinder valve.
7. Keep protective cap in place over valve
except when cylinder is in use or connected for
use.
8. Read and follow instructions on compressed
gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA
publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.

Welding

Welding can cause fire or explosion.
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,
drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up.
Sparks can fly off from the welding arc. The
flying sparks, hot workpiece, and hot equipment
can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of
electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, ex-
plosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure
the area is safe before doing any welding.
1. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks
and hot metal.
2. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flam-
mable material.
3. Remove all flammables within 35 ft. (10.7 m) of
the welding arc. If this is not possible, tightly cover
them with approved covers.

4. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials
from welding can easily go through small cracks
and openings to adjacent areas.
5. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher
nearby.
6. Do not weld on closed containers such as
tanks, drums, or pipes, unless they are properly
prepared according to AWSF4.1 (see safety
Standards).
7. Connect work cable to the work as close to
the welding area as practical to prevent welding
current traveling long, possibly unknown paths
and causing electric shock and fire hazards.
8. Wear oil-free protective garments such as
leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers,
high shoes, and a cap.

Moving Parts

Moving parts, such as fans, rotors, and belts can
cut fingers and hands and catch loose clothing.
1. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards
closed and securely in place.
2. Have only qualified people remove guards
or covers for maintenance and troubleshooting
as necessary.
