    1 SAFETY SAFETY Meaning of symbols As used throughout this manual: Means Attention! Be Alert! DANGER! Means immediate hazards which, if not avoided, will result in immediate, serious personal injury or loss of life. WARNING! Means potential hazards which could result in personal injury or loss of life. CAUTION! Means hazards which could result in minor personal injury.
  • Page 5 1 SAFETY Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept buttoned and open pockets eliminated from the front of clothing. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains.
  • Page 6 1 SAFETY ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS May be dangerous. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding and cutting current creates EMF around welding cables and welding machines. Therefore: Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding. EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.
  • Page 7 1 SAFETY Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain or strap to suitable hand trucks, undercarriages, benches, wall, post or racks. Never secure cylinders to work tables or fixtures where they may become part of an electrical circuit. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed.
