1-1.

INTRODUCTION

We

learn

by

experience.

Learning

safety

through

personal

experience

like

a

child

touching

a

hot

stove

is

harmful,

waste

ful,

and

unwise. Let

the

experience

of

others

teach

you.

Safe

practices

developed

from

experience

in

the

use

of

weld

ing

and

cutting

are

described

in

this

manual.

Research.

devel

opment,

and

field

experience

have

evolved

reliable

equipment

and

safe

installation,

operation,

and

servicing

practices.

Acci

dents

occur

when

equipment

is

improperly

used

or

main

tained.

The

mason

for

the

safe

practices

may

not

always

be

given.

Some

are

based

on

common

sense,

others

may

require

technical

volumes

to

explain.

It

is

wiser

to

follow

the

rules.

Read

and

understand

these

safe

practices

before

attempting

to

install,

operate,

or

service

the

equipment

Comply

with

these

procedures

as

applicable

to

the

particular

equipment

used

and

their

instruction

manuals,

for

personal

safety

and

for

the

safety

of

others.

Failure

to

observe

these

safe

practices

may

cause

serious

in

jury

or

death.

When

safety

becomes

a

habit,

the

equipment

can

be

used

with

confidence.

Responsibilities

of

installer,

user,

and

serviceman.

Installa

tion,

operation,

checking,

and

repair

of

this

equipment

must

be

done

only

by

a

competent

person,

experienced

with

such

equipment.

These

safe

practices

are

divided

into

two

Sections:

1

General

Precautions,

common

to

arc

welding

and

cutting;

and

2-

Arc

Welding

(and

CuttingUonly).

Reference

standards:

Published

Standards

on

safety

are

also

available

for

additional

and

more

complete

procedures

than

those

given

in

this

manual.

They

are

listed

in

the

Standards

Index

in

these

safety

rules.

ANSI

249.1

is

the

most

complete.

The

National

Electrical

Code,

Occupation

Safety

and

Health

Administration,

local

industrial

codes,

and

local

inspection

requirements

also

provide

a

basis

for

equipment

installation,

use,

and

service.

GENERAL

PRECAUTIONS

Burn

Prevention

Wear

protective

clothing

-

leather

(or

asbestos)

stubs

and

workpieces

should

never

be

handled

without

gloves.

Medical

first

aid

and

eye

treatment.

First

aid

facilities

and

a

qualified

first

aid

person

should

be

availthle

for

each

shift

unless

medical

facilities

are

close

by

for

immediate

treatment

of

flash

burns

of

the

eyes

and

skin

burns.

Ear

plugs

should

be

worn

when

working

on

overhead

or

in

a

confined

space.

A

hard

hat

should

be

worn

when

others

work

overhead.

Flammable

hair

preparations

should

not

be

used

by

persons

intending

to

weld

or

cut.

B.

Toxic

Fume

Prevention

Adequate

ventilation.

Severe

discomfort

illness

or

death

can

result

from

fumes,

vapors,

heat

or

oxygen

enrichment

or

depletion

that

welding

(or

cutting(

may

produce.

Prevent

them

with

adequate

ventilation

as

described

in

ANSI

Stan.

dard

249.1

listed

1

in

Standards

index.

NEVER

ventilate

with

oxygen.

Lead,

cadium,

zinc,

mercury,

and

beryllium

bearing

and

simi

lar

materials,

when

welded

(or

cut)

may

produce

harmful

concentrations

of

toxic

fumes.

Adequate

local

exhaust

venti

lation

must

be

used,

or

each

person

in

the

area

as

well

as

the

operator

must

wearan

air-supplied

respirator.

For

beryllium,

both

must

be

used.

Metals

coated

with

or

containing

materials

that

emit

toxic

fumes

should

not

be

heated

unless

coating

is

removed

from

the

work

surface,

the

area

is

well

ventilated,

or

the

operator

wears

an

air-supplied

respirator.

Work

in

a

confined

space

only

while

it

is

being

ventilated

and,

if

necessary,

while

wearing

an

air-supplied

respirator.

Gas

leaks

in

a

confined

space

should

be

avoided.

Leaked

gas

in

large

quantities

can

change

oxygen

concentration

danger

ously.

Do

not

bring

gas

cylinders

into

a

confined

space.

Leaving

confined

space,

shut

OFF

gas

supply

at

source.

The

space

will

then be

safe

to

re-enter,

if

downstream

valves

have

been

accidently

opened

or

left

open.

Vapors

from

chlorinated

solvents

can

be

decomposed

by

the

heat

of

the

arc

(or

flame)

to

form

PHOSGENE,

a

highly

toxic

gas,

and

other

lung

and

eye

irritating

products.

The

ultra

violet

(radiant)

energy

of

the

arc

can

also

decompose

tn

chloroethylene

and

perchloroethylene

vapors

to

form

phos

gene.

DO

NOT

WELD

or

cut

where

solvent

vapors

can

be

drawn

into

the

welding

or

cutting

atmosphere

or

where

the

radiant

energy

can

penetrate

to

atmospheres

containing

even

minute

amounts

of

trichlorethylene

or

perchlorethylene.

C.

Prevention

Causes

of

fire

and

explosion

are:

combustibles

reached

by

the

arc,

flame,

flying

sparks,

hot

slag

or

heated

material;

misuse

of

compressed

gases

and

cylinders;

and

short

ARC

WELDING

Comply

with

precautions

in

1-2

and

this

section.

Arc

Weld

ing,

properly

done,

is

a

safe

process,

but

a

careless

operator

invites

trouble.

The

equipment

carries

high

currents

at

signifi

cant

voltages.

The

arc

is

very

bright

and

hot.

Sparks

fly.

fumes

rise,

ultraviolet

and

infrared

energy

radiates,

weld

ments

are

hot,

and

compressed

gases

may

be

used.

The

wise

operator

avoids

unnecessary

risks

and

protects

himself

and

others

from

accidents.

Precautions

are

described

here

and

in

standards

referenced

in

index.

A.

Burn

Protection

Comply

with

precautions

in

1-2.

The

welding

arc

is

intense

and

visibly

bright.

Its

radiation

can

damage

eyes,

penetrate

lightweight

clothing,

reflect

from

light-colored

surfaces,

arid

burn

the

skin

and

eyes.

Skin

burns

resemble

acute

sunburn,

those

from

gas-shielded

arcs

are

more

severe

and

painful.

DONT

GET

BURNED;

COMPLY

WITH

PRECAUTIONS.

1.

Protective

Clothing

Wear

long-sleeve

clothing

(particularly

for

gas-shielded

arc)

in

addition

to

(1-2A).

As

necessary,

use

additional

protective

clothing

such

as

leather

jacket

or

sleeves,

flame-proof

apron,

and

fire-resistant

leggings.

Avoid

outergarments

of

untreated

cotton.

Bare

skin

protection.

Wear

dark,

substantial

clothing.

to

give

some

protection

to

the

eyes

should

the

helmet

not

be

lowered

over

the

face

before

an

arc

is

struck.

Looking

at

an

arc

momentarily

with

unprotected

eyes

(particularly

a

high

intensity

gas-shielded

arc)

can

cause

a

retinal

burn

that

may

leave

a

permanent

dark

area

in

the

field

of

vision.

3.

Protection

of

Nearby

Personnel

Enclosed

Welding

Cables

It

recommended

that

the

welding

cables

be

kept

as

short

as

possible,

placed

close

together,

and

be

of

adequate

current

carrying

capacity.

The

resistance

of

the

welding

cables

and

connections

cause

a

voltage

drop

which

is

added

to

the

volt.

age

of

the

arc.

Excessive

cable

resistance

may

result

in

over

loading

as

well

as

reducing

the

maximum

current

output

of

which

the

welding

power

source

is

capable.

The

proper

opera

tion

of

any

arc

welding

power

source

is

to

a

great

extent

dependent

on

the

use

of

welthng

cables

and

connections

that

are

in

good

condition

and

of

adequate

size.

An

insulated

electrode

holder

must

be

used

to

ensure

the

operators

safety.

Use

Table

3-2

as

a

guide

for

selecting

the

correct

welding

cable

size

for

the

anticipated

maximum

weld

current

that

will

be

used.

Table

3-2

takes

into

account

the

total

cable

length

for

the

weld

circuit.

This

means

the

length

of

the

Electrode

cable

that

connects

the

wire

feeder

to

the

welding

power

source

and

the

Work

or

ground

cable

between

the

welding

power

source

and

cable

is

75

feet

long

and

the

work

Or

cable

is

25

feet

long,

select

the

cycle

simply

means

that

the

It

must

be

kept

in

that

time

intervals

TROUBLESHOOTING

The

data

collected

here,

discusses

some

of

the

common

problems

which

may

The

assumption

of

is

that

a

proper

welding

condition

has

been

achieved

and

has

been

used

until

trouble

developed.

In

all

cases

of

equipment

malfunction,

the

manufacturers

recommendations

should

be

strictly

adhered

to

and

followed.

If

after

performing

the

following

procedures

the

trouble

is

still

not

remedied,

it

is

recommended

that

a

serviceman

be
