tions and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any
other electrically "hot" parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder
valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and
hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or con-
nected for use.

cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publica-
