  • Page 5 • Ensure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded.  Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition.
  • Page 6  Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.  Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and /or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
  • Page 7 SELF-PROTECTION  Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing welding equipment.  Do not put your hands near the engine fans. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while an engine is running DO NOT add fuel near an open flame welding arc or when engines are...
