Don't weld on painted parts.
Remove the surface coating before
you begin welding. Keep your face
away from the welding plume.
Protect welding cables from
sparks, hot metal, open flames,
sharp edges, oil, and grease.
Do not use cables with frayed,
cracked or bare spots in the
insulation. Learn all you can
about safety. Your employer
must provide safety training.
Required protection varies with time
of exposure, distance from source,
and shielding used.
Follow recommended procedures in
AWS F2.1.
Develop adequate procedures, and
use proper equipment to do the job
safely.
When required obtain a Hot-Work
Permit (See NFPA 51B).

gases from your breathing zone and
general area.
Read all instructions, labels, and
installation manuals before
installing, operating, or servicing the
equipment.
