| Pay your attention to the following safety information for your safety and health during welding and related operations. |
 |
WARNING: Be sure to follow the safety practices started 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 of welding equipment when you use it. |
|
WARNING: Electric shock can kill. |
| * |
Do not touch live electrical parts. (A covered electrode held with an electrode holder and a wire in welding is electrically live.) |
| * |
Wear dry, insulated gloves. Do not wear torn and wet gloves. |
| * |
Use an electric shock preventing device (open-circuit-voltage-reducing device) when welders 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 safety practices stated in the instruction of the welding machine before you use. Do not use a welding machine 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 gasses 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 are present nearby. Welding work close to these operations may cause a generation if harmful gases. |
| * |
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 for filter lenses and filter plates suitable for exact welding work by referring to the standard of JIS T8141. |
| * |
Wear protectors suitable for preventing contact with arc rays, such as safety leather gloves for welding, long sleeve shirts, foot covers, leather aprons, etc. |
| * |
Use, as needed shade curtains for welding by surrounding the welding areas in order to prevent accompanied workers from the arc rays. |
