CHECK GAS DELIVERY; TURN GAS CYLINDER KNOB TO
REGULATE FLOW .
NB: The electric welding arc is struck by lightly touching the work-
piece with the electrode (Scratch start).
CAUTION: WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS OR IN WINDY CON-
DITIONS PROTECT THE FLOW OF SHIELDING GAS OR IT
MAY BE DISPERSED WITH RESULTING LACK OF PROTEC-
TION FOR THE WELD.

REDUCTION OF EMF IN THE WORKPLACE

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD CAN AFFECT PACEMAKER OP-
ERATION.
High current flowing through the welding cables during the weld-
ing operation causes a generation of electromagnetic fields. To
reduce the intensity of these fileds in the workplace (if required),
use the following procedures:
1. Keep the cables arranged close together by twisting or taping
them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from op-
erator as practical.
5. Connect earth clamp to workpiece as close to the welded
area as possible.
