Standard P-1, “Precautions for Safe Handling of
Compressed Gases in Cylinders”, which is avail-
able from Compressed Gas Association, 1235 Jef-
ferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE -- Faulty
or improperly maintained equipment can
cause injury or death. Therefore:
1.
Always have
qualified
personnel perform
the installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance
work. Do not perform any electrical work unless
you are
qualified
to perform such work.
2.
Before performing any maintenance work
inside a power source, disconnect the power
source from the incoming electrical power.
3.
Maintain cables, grounding wire, connec-
tions, power cord, and power supply in safe work-
ing order. Do not operate any equipment in faulty
condition.
4.
Do not abuse any equipment or acces-
sories. Keep equipment away from heat sources
such as furnaces, wet conditions such as water
puddles, oil or grease, corrosive atmospheres and
inclement weather.
5.
Keep all safety devices and cabinet covers
in position and in good repair.
6.
Use equipment only for its intended pur-
pose. Do not modify it in any manner.
3.
If you develop momentary eye, nose, or
throat irritation while operating, this is an indication
that ventilation is not adequate. Stop work and take
necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work
area. Do not continue to operate if physical dis-
comfort persists.
4.
Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see
listing below) for
specific
ventilation
recommenda
-
tions.
5.
WARNING: This product, when used for
welding or cutting, produces fumes or gases which
contain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer.
(California Health & Safety Code §25249.5 et seq.)
CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders,
if mishandled, can rupture and vio-
lently release gas. Sudden rupture
of cylinder, valve, or relief device can
injure or kill. Therefore:
1.
Use the proper gas for the process and use
the proper pressure reducing regulator designed to
operate from the compressed gas cylinder. Do not
use
adaptors.
Maintain hoses
and
fittings
in
good
condition. Follow manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions for mounting regulator to a compressed gas
cylinder.
2.
Always secure cylinders in an upright posi-
tion by chain or strap to suitable hand trucks, un-
dercarriages, benches, walls, post, or racks. Never
secure
cylinders
to work tables or
fixtures
where
they may become part of an electrical circuit.
3.
When not in use, keep cylinder valves
closed. Have valve protection cap in place if regu-
lator is not connected. Secure and move cylinders
by using suitable hand trucks. Avoid rough han-
dling of cylinders.
4.
Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks,
and
flames.
Never strike an arc on a
cylinder.
