• Inert gas cylinders contain pressurized gas and can explode
if the minimum safe conditions for transport, storage and use
are not ensured.
• Cylinders must be secured in a vertical position to a wall or
other supporting structure, with suitable means so that they
cannot fall or accidentally hit anything else.
• Screw the cap on to protect the valve during transport, com-
missioning and at the end of any welding operation.
• Do not expose cylinders to direct sunlight, sudden changes
of temperature, too high or extreme temperatures. Do not
expose cylinders to temperatures too low or too high.
• Keep cylinders away from naked flames, electric arcs, torches or
electrode guns and incandescent material sprayed by welding.
• Keep cylinders away from welding circuits and electrical cir-
cuits in general.
• Keep your head away from the gas outlet when opening the
cylinder valve.
• Always close the cylinder valve at the end of the welding
operations.
