3.
Do not operate near degreasing and spraying operations. The heat or arc can react
with chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other
irritant gases.

If you develop momentary eye, nose or throat irritation while operating, this is an
indication that the ventilation is not adequate. Stop work and take the necessary steps
to improve ventilation in the work area. Do not continue to operate if physical
discomfort persists.

CYLINDER HANDLING
Cylinders, if mishandled, can rupture and violently release gas. A
sudden rupture of cylinder valve or relief device can injure or kill.
Therefore:
1.
Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks and flames. Never strike an arc on a cylinder.
2.
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 adapters. Maintain
hoses and fittings in good condition. Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions
for mounting a regulator to a compressed gas cylinder.
3.
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.
4.
When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have valve protection cap in place if
regulator is not connected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable hand trucks.
MOVING PARTS
Moving parts, such as fans, rotors and belts can cause
injury. Therefore:
1.
Keep all doors, panels, guards, and covers closed and securely in place.
2.
Stop the engine or drive systems before installing or connecting a unit.
3.
Have only qualified people remove covers for maintenance and troubleshooting as
necessary
4.
To prevent accidental starting of equipment during service, disconnect negative (-)
battery cable from battery.
5.
Keep hands, hair, loose clothing and tools away from moving parts.
6.
Reinstall panels or covers and close doors when service is finished and before
starting engine.
