INTRODUCTION

We

learn

by

experience.

Learning

safety

through

personal

experience,

like

a

child

touching

a

hot

stove

is

harmful,

wasteful,

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

reason

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.

These

safe

practices

are

divided

into

two

Sections:

1

-

General

Precautions,

common

to

arc

welding

and

cutting;

and

2

.

Arc

Welding

(and

Cutting)(only).

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

this

manual.

ANSI

Z49.1

is

the

most

complete.

The

National

Electrical

Code,

Occupational

Safety

and

Health

Administration,

local

industrial

codes,

and

local

in

spection

requirements

also

provide

a

basis

for

equipment

in

stallation,

use,

and

service.

GENERAL

PRECAUTIONS

Burn

Prevention

Wear

protective

clothing

-

leather

(or

asbestos)

gauntlet

gloves,

hat,

and

high

safety-toe

shoes.

Button

shirt

collar

and

pocket

flaps,

and

wear

cuffless

trousers

to

avoid entry

of

sparks

and

slag.

Wear

helmet

with

safety

goggles

or

glasses

with

side

shields

underneath,

appropriate

filter

lenses

or

plates

(protected

by

clear

cover

glass).This

is

a

MUST

for

welding

or

cutting,

(and

chipping)

to

protect

the

eyes

from

radiant

energy

and

flying

metal.

Replace

cover

glass

when

broken,

pitted,

or

spattered.

See

1-3A.2.

Avoid

oily

or

greasy

clothing.

A

spark

may

ignite

them.

Hot

metal

such

as

electrode

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

available

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

Z49.1

listed

1

in

Standards

index.

NEVER

ventilate

with

oxygen.

Lead

-,

cadmium

-,

zinc

-,

mercury

-,

and

beryllium

-

bearing

and

similar

materials,

when

welded

(or

cut)

may

produce

harmful

concentrations

of

toxic

fumes.

Adequate

local

exhaust

ventilation

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

to

prevent

possible

accumulation

of

gases

in

the

space

if

down

stream

valves

have

been

accidently

opened

or

left

open.

Check

so

be

sure

that

the

space

is

safe

before

re-entering

it.

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

Iradiant)

energy

of

the

arc

can

also

decompose

sri

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

so

atmospheres

containing

even

minute

amounts

of

trichloroethylene

or

perchloroethylene.

C.

Fire

and

Explosion

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

circuits.

BE

AWARE

THAT

flying

sparks

or

falling

slag

can

pass

through

cracks,

along

pipes,

through

windows

or

doors,

and

through

wall

or

floor

openings,

out

of

sighs

of

the

goggled

operator.

Sparks

and

slag

can

fly

35

feet.

To

prevent

fires

and

explosion:

Keep

equipment

clean

and

operable,

free

of

oil,

grease,

and

(in

electrical

parts)

of

metallic

particles

that

can

cause

short

circuits.

If

combustibles

are

in

area,

do

NOT

weld

or

cut.

Move

the

work

if

practicable,

to

an

area

free

of

combustibles.

Avoid

paint

spray

rooms,

dip

tanks,

storage

areas,

vensilators.

If

she

work

cannot

be

moved,

move

combustibles

at

least

35

fees

away

out

of

reach

of

sparks

and

heat;

or

prosect

against

ignition

wish

suitable

and

snug-fitting,

fire-resistant

covers

or

shields.

Walls

touching

combustibles

on

opposite

sides

should

not

be

welded

on

(or

helmet 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

area.

For

production

welding,

a

separate

room

or

enclosed

bay

is

best.

In

open

areas,

surround

the

operation

with

low-reflective,

non-combustible

screens

or

A

should

be

selected

for

the

welding

power

source

if

the

unit

is

to

provide

dependable

service,

and

remain

relatively

maintenance

free.

A

proper

installation

site

permits

freedom

of

air

move

ment

into

and

out

of

the

welding

power

source,

and

also

least

subjects

the

unit

to

dust,

dirt,

moisture,

and

corrosive

vapors.

A

minimum

of

18

inches

of

unrestricted

space

must

be

maintained

between

the

welding

power

source

front

and

rear

panels

and

the

nearest

obstruction.

Also,

the

underside

of

the

welding

power

source

must

be

kept

completely

free

of

obstruc

tions.

The

installation

site

should

also

permit

On

for

moving

the

However,

if

is

used

for

be

sure

that

the

lift

are

long

The

use

of

lift

ELECTRICAL

INPUT

CONNECTIONS

A.

Electrical

Input

Requirements

This

welding

power

source

is

designed

to

be

operated

from

a

three-phase,

60

Hertz,

ac

power

supply

which

has

a

line

voltage

rating

that

corresponds

with

one

of

the

electrical

input

voltages

shown

on

the

nameplate.

Consult

the

local

electric

utility

if

there

is

any

question

about

the

type

of

electrical

system

available

at

the

in

stallation

site

or

how

proper

connections

to

the

welding

power

source

are

to

be

made.

B.

Input

Conductor

Connections

I~SIl~

It

is

recommended

that

a

line

disconnect

switch

be

installed

in

the

input

circuit

to

the

welding

power

source.

This

would

provide

a

safe

and

conve

nient

means

to

completely

remove

all

electrical

power

from

the

welding

power

source

whenever

it/s

necessary

to

perform

any

internal

function

on

the

unit.

t~.tU1IIS1~

Before

making

electrical

input

connec

tions

to

the

welding

power

source,

machinery

lockout

procedures

should

be

employed.

If

the

connection

is

to

be

made

from

a

line

disconnect

switch,

the

switch

should

be

padlocked

in

the

open

position.

If

the

connec

tion

is

made

from

a

fuse

box,

remove

the

fuses

from

the

box

and

padlock

the

cover

in

the

closed

position.

If

the

unit

is

connected

to

a

circuit

breaker;

or

other

discon

necting

device

without

locking

facilities,

attach

a

red

tag

to

the

device

to

warn

others

that

the

circuit

is

being

worked

on.

The

input

conductors

should

be

covered

with

an

in

sulating

material

which

conforms

to

local

electrical

stan

dards.
