  SAFETY….cont 

IN-

TO PROTECT AGAINST SHOCK 

1.  Keep body and clothing dry.  Never work in a damp area without ade-

quate insulation against electrical shock. Stay on a dry duck board, or rub-
ber mat when dampness or sweat can not be avoided. Sweat, sea water. 
or moisture between body and an electrically HOT part, or grounded metal 
reduces the body surface electrical resistance, enabling dangerous and 
possibly lethal currents to flow through the body. 

 
2.  Never allow live metal parts to touch bare skin or any wet clothing.  Be sure 

gloves are dry. 

 
3.  Before welding, check for continuity. Be sure the ground cable is con-

nected to the work piece as close to the welding areas as possible.  
Grounds connected to building frame work or other remote locations from 
the welding area reduce efficiency and increase the potential electric 
shock hazard. Avoid the possibility of the welding current passing through 
lifting chains, crane cables or various electric paths. 

 

4.

Frequently inspect cables for wear, cracks, and damage. IMMEDIATELY RE-
PLACE those with worn or damaged insulation to avoid a possibly lethal 
shock from bare cables. 

 

FIRE: 

All inflammable materials must be removed from the area. 
 
DO NOT cut containers which have held inflammable materials or gases. 
 
Have a suitable fire extinguisher available close by. 

 
GLARE AND BURNS: 

The electric plasma arc should not be observed with the naked eye. Always 
wear goggles of the type used for oxyacetylene welding. Gloves should be 
worn to protect the hands from burns. Non-synthetic overalls with buttons at 
neck and wrist, or similar clothing, should be worn. Greasy overalls should not 
be worn. Wear suitable protective footwear. 

 
COMPRESSED AIR: 

Compressed air is potentially dangerous. 
Refer to the relevant safety standards for safety guidelines.
