3.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating welding
equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the
work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as
needed. Children should not be allowed in the work area.
4.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when oper-
ating welding equipment. Do not use welding equipment while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating welding equipment may result in serious personal injury.
5.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
6.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
7.
Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
8.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
9.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
10.
Maintain tools with care. Keep the welding equipment clean. Properly
maintained tools are less likely to malfunction and are easier to control. Do not use
a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools "Do not use" until repaired.
11.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
12.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
