• Leather leggings, re resistant shoes or boots should be
worn when using this product. Do not wear pants with cus,
shirts with open pockets, or any clothing that can catch and hold
molten metal or sparks.
• Keep clothing free of grease, oil, solvents, or any ammable sub¬stances. Wear
dry, insulating gloves and protective clothing.
• Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons,
cape, sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding and
cut¬ting procedures.

11. Prevent accidental res. Remove any combustible material from the work area.
• When possible, move the work to a location well away from
combustible materials. If relocation is not pos¬sible, protect the
combustibles with a cover made of re resistant mate¬rial.
• Remove or make safe all combus¬tible materials for a
radius of 10 meters around the work area. Use a re resistant
material to cover or block all open doorways, win-dows, cracks,
and other openings.
• Enclose the work area with portable re resistant screens. Protect combustible
walls, ceilings, oors, etc., from sparks and heat with re resistant covers.
• If working on a metal wall, ceiling, etc., prevent ignition of combus¬tibles on
the other side by moving the combustibles to a safe loca¬tion. If relocation
of combustibles is not possible, designate someone to serve as a re watch,
equipped with a re extinguisher, during the welding process and for at least
one half hour after the welding is com¬pleted.
• Do not weld or cut on materials having a combustible coating or combustible
internal structure, as in walls or ceilings, without an ap¬proved method for
eliminating the hazard.
• Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materi¬als. Keep a
re extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.
• After welding, make a thorough examination for evidence of re. Be aware that
easily-visible smoke or ame may not be present for some time after the re
has started. Do not weld or cut in atmospheres containing dangerously reactive
or ammable gases, vapors, liquids, and dust. Provide adequate ven¬tilation
in work areas to prevent accumulation of ammable gases, vapors, and dust.
Do not apply heat to a container that has held an unknown substance or a
