Consult symbols and related instructions below for necessary actions to avoid the hazards.
1-2. GTAW Torch Hazards
GTAW WELDING can be hazardous.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN
AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS KEEP AWAY UNTIL CONSULTING YOUR DOCTOR.
In welding, as in most jobs, exposure to certain hazards occurs. Welding is safe when precautions are taken. The
safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information found in the welding
power source Owner’s Manual. Read and follow all safety precautions.
HAVE ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR WORK PERFORMED ONLY BY
QUALIFIED PEOPLE.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
1. Always wear dry insulating gloves.
2. Insulate yourself from work and ground.
3. Do not touch live electrode or electrical parts.
1. Do not weld near flammable material.
2. Do not weld on closed containers.
3. Watch for fire; keep extinguisher nearby.
4. Repair or replace worn, damaged, or cracked
torch or cable insulation.
5. Turn off welding power source before changing
tungsten electrode or torch parts.
HOT SURFACES can burn skin.
1. Allow torch to cool before touching.
2. Do not touch hot metal.
6. Keep all covers and handle securely in place.
3. Protect hot metal from contact by others.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
1. Wear welding helmet with correct shade of filter.
2. Wear correct eye and body protection.
3. Cover exposed skin.
NOISE can damage hearing; SOME
APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS PULSING,
are noisy.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous
to your health.
1. Check for noise level limits exceeding those
specified by OSHA.
2. Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise level
is high.
3. Warn others nearby about noise hazard.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes.
2. Ventilate area, or use breathing device.
3. Read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and
manufacturer’s instructions for material used.
BUILD UP OF GAS can injure or
kill
1. Shut off shielding gas supply when not in
use.
2. Always ventilate confined spaces or use
approved air-supplied respirator.

EMF INFORMATION
ConsiderationsAbout Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
Weldingcurrent, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro-
magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National
Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the
committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-
frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be
examined.Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when
welding or cutting.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from oper-
ator as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
About Pacemakers:
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following
procedures:
Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor first. If cleared by your doc-
tor, then following the above procedures is recommended.

5-2. Preparing Tungsten Electrode For Welding
Y
Grinding the tungsten electrode produces dust and flying sparks which can cause injury and start fires. Use
local exhaust (forced ventilation) at the grinder or wear an approved respirator. Read MSDS for safety infor-
mation. Consider using tungsten containing ceria, lanthana, or yttria instead of thoria. Grinding dust from
thoriated electrodes contains low-level radioactive material. Properly dispose of grinder dust in an environ-
mentally safe way. Wear proper face, hand, and body protection. Keep flammables away.
