Protectagainst REFLECTED ARC RAYS.
Arc rays can be reflectedoff shiny
surfacessuch as a glossy painted
surface,aluminum,stainlesssteel,and
glass. It is possiblefor your eyesto be
injuredby reflectedarc rays evenwhen
wearinga protectivehelmetor shield. If
weldingwith a reflectivesurfacebehind
you, arc rays can bounceoff the surface,
then off the filter lens on the insideof
your helmetor shield,then into your eyes.
If a reflectivebackgroundexists in your

FIRE HAZARDS
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
CAN CAUSE
DEATH,
INJURY, AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE!
To reduce
the risk of death, injury,
or property
damage from fire or explosion,
read, understand,
and follow the following
safety instructions. In addition, make certain
that anyone else that uses this welding
equipment,
or is a bystander
in the welding
area, understands
and follows
these safety
instructions
as well. REMEMBER!
Arc weld-
ing by nature produces
sparks,
hot spatter,
molten metal drops, hot slag, and hot metal
parts that can start fires, burn skin, and
damage
eyes.
Do not wear gloves or other clothing
that contains
oil, grease,
or other
flammable
substances.
Do not wear flammable
hair
preparations.
Do not weld in an area until it is checked
and cleared
of combustible
and/or
flam-
mable materials.
BE AWARE
that sparks
and slag can fly 35 feet and can pass
through
small cracks and openings.
If
work and combustibles
cannot
be sepa-
rated by a minimum
of 35 feet, protect
against
ignition
with suitable,
snug-fitting,
fire resistant,
covers
or shields.
Do not weld on walls until checking
for
and removing
combustibles
touching
the
other side of the walls.
Do not weld, cut, or perform
other such
work on used barrels,
drums,
tanks, or
other containers
that had contained
a
flammable
or toxic substance.
The tech-
niques for removing
flammable
substance
and vapors,
to make a used
container
safe for welding
or cutting,
are
quite complex
and require special
education
and training.
Do not strike an arc on a compressed
gas or air cylinder
or other pressure
ves-
sel. Doing so will create a brittle area that
can result in a violent
rupture
immediately
or at a later time as
a result of rough handling.
Do not weld or cut in an area where the
air may contain
flammable
dust (such as
grain dust), gas, or liquid vapors
(such as
gasoline).
Do not handle
hot metal, such as the
work piece or electrode
stubs, with bare
hands.
Wear
leather
gloves,
heavy long sleeve
shirt, cuffless
trousers,
high-topped
shoes,
helmet,
and cap. As necessary,
use additional
protective
clothing
such as
leather
jacket
or sleeves,
fire resistant
leggings,
or apron.
Hot sparks
or metal
can lodge in rolled up sleeves,
trouser
cuffs, or pockets.
Sleeves
and collars
should
be kept buttoned
and pockets
