CYLINDERS can explode if

damaged.

Compressed gas cylinders contain gas under high
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode.
Since gas cylinders are normally part of the weld-

ing process, be sure to treat them carefully.

�

Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechani-
cal shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.

�

Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary
support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.

�

Keep cylinders away from any welding, cutting, or other electrical
circuits.

�

Never drape a welding or cutting torch over a gas cylinder.

�

Never allow a welding electrode or cutting torch to touch any
cylinder.

�

Never weld on a pressurized cylinder — explosion will result.

�

Use only correct compressed gas cylinders, regulators, hoses,
and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them
and associated parts in good condition.

�

Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve. Do
not stand in front of or behind the regulator when opening the
valve.

�

Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in
use or connected for use.

�

Use the proper equipment, correct procedures, and sufficient
number of persons to lift, move, and transport cylinders.

�

Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, asso-
ciated equipment, and Compressed Gas Association (CGA) publi-
cation P-1 listed in Safety Standards.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can
damage hearing.

�

Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS

(EMF) can affect Implanted Medical
Devices.

�

Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Med-
ical Devices should keep away.

�

Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and
the device manufacturer before going near arc welding, spot weld-
ing, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.

Additional Symbols For Installation, Operation, And Maintenance

FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard.

�

Do not install or place unit on, over, or near com-
bustible surfaces.

�

Do not install unit near flammables.

�

Do not overload building wiring — be sure power

supply system is properly sized, rated, and protected to handle
this unit.

FALLING EQUIPMENT can injure.

�

Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running gear,
gas cylinders, or any other accessories.

�

Use correct procedures and equipment of ad-
equate capacity to lift and support unit.

�

If using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are long enough to ex-
tend beyond opposite side of unit.

�

Keep equipment (cables and cords) away from moving vehicles
when working from an aerial location.

�

Follow the guidelines in the Applications Manual for the Revised
NIOSH Lifting Equation (Publication No. 94-110) when manually
lifting heavy parts or equipment.

OVERUSE can cause

OVERHEATING.

�

Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.

�

Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before start-
ing to weld again.

�

Do not block or filter airflow to unit.

FLYING SPARKS can injure.

�

Wear a face shield to protect eyes and face.
