FIRE DANGER may cause accidents.
If you are working above floor level or on stairway, make sure there is no flammable or
explosive material below. Also please remember that slag and sparks may splash on
people around.
Special precautions should be used when welding in dusty environment. Dust particles
may burn and may cause sudden fire or explosion. If you don't have information about the
inflammableness and fugacity of the dust in the environment, do not start welding or
cutting until it is inspected and approved by expert and authorized person.
Before starting to the welding procedure, please check if there is any flammable or self-
ignition under heat coating on the surface of your work piece.
When you have a break in welding process, please make sure that the electrode holder
do not contact to the ground or work piece.
If you are welding within ten meters to the place where flammable materials located, have
a observor near you. This observer should watch where the sparks and splashes go and
should access easily to the fire extinguishers when necessary. After welding process,
please check if there is any fume around for half an hour with the observer.
As in other emergency situations, first rule is not to panic in situations where welding
accidents happen. According to the size of the fire, to warn the others activate the fire
alarm, inform fire station, shut down the plasma cutting machine and leave the building
from fire exits as soon as possible.
To prevent the risk for every kind of arc glare and fire, never leave the welding torch on
welding desk or any surface in contact with work clamp.
Never refuel near to the welding arc or if there is any engine operating in the surrounding
area. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from
vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. While refilling the tank, do not
spill fuel around.
