SAFETY
ARC RAYS CAN BURN.
Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks
and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding.
Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin
and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and /or warn them
not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
SELF-PROTECTION
Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair.
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving
parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or
idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running
.
DO NOT
adds the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the
engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel
from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling
tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated.
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.
Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to
prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent
areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should
be used to prevent hazardous situation.
When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or
ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to
insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances
