Warning for Safety in Welding

Warning for Safety in Welding
WARNING
Be sure to follow the safety practices stated in the following in order to
protect welders, operators and accompanied workers from a serious
accident resulting in injury or death.
Be sure to follow the safety practices stated in the following when you use welding consumables.
Be sure to follow the safety practices stated in the instruction manual when you use welding equipment.
WARNING
Electric shock can kill.
Do not touch live electrical parts.(A covered electrode held with an electrode holder and a wire in welding
are electrically live.)
Wear dry, insulated gloves. Do not wear teared and wet gloves.
Use an electric shock preventing device(open-circuit-voltage-reducing device)when welders or operators
work in confined or high-level spaces. Use also a lifeline when a welder or an operator conducts welding at
a high-level area.
Follow the safaty practices stated in the instruction of the welding manchine before you use.
Do not use a welding manchine case or cover of which is removed. Welding cables must be a size
adequate for the capacity expected. Welding cables must be maintained, and a damaged cable must be
repaired or replaced one.
CAUTION
Fumes and gases generated in welding can be dangerous to your
health.
Welding in confined spaces can be dangerous for suffocation
because of oxygen deficient atmospheres.
Keep your head out of the source of gases to prevent from directly breathing high density fumes or gases.
Use local exhaust ventilation, or wear respirators in order to prevent you from breathing fumes and toxic
gases which cause toxication, poor health and suffocation by oxygen deficient atmospheres.
Use general ventilation for welding in the workshop. Particularly in welding in confined spaces, be sure to
use adequate ventilation, or wear respirators at the presence of a trained supervisor.
Do not weld where operations of degreasing, cleaning, spraying, and painting are present nearby.
Welding work close to these operations may cause a generation of harmful gases.
Use adequate ventilation or respirators with special attention in welding plated and coated steel.
Use respirators, eye safety glasses and safety leather gloves when handling welding fluxes in order to
prevent you from the flux dust.
CAUTION
Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin.
Wear hand shields with an adequate grade of shade in welding and supervising the welding work.
Select the correct grade shade for filter lenses and filter and filter plates suitable for exact welding work by
referring to the standard of JIS T8141.
