with any part of the welding
current
circuit. The welding
current
circuit
includes:
a. the work piece or any conductive
material
in contact
with it,
b. the ground
clamp,
c. the electrode
or welding
wire,
d. any metal parts on the electrode
holder, or wire feed gun.
Do not weld in a damp area or come in
contact
with a moist or wet surface.
Do not attempt to weld if any part of
clothing
or body is wet.
Do not allow the welding
equipment
to come in contact
with water or
moisture.
Do not drag welding
cables,
