Important Safety Information (Continued)
Section Head (Continued)
Wear ear plugs and other personal protective equipment when
u
welding overhead to prevent spatter or slag from burning hair or
.
skin
Electric arc welding operations
produce intense light and heat
and ultraviolet (UV) rays. This intense light and UV rays
can cause injury to eyes and skin. Take all precautions
described in this manual to reduce the possibility of
injury to eyes and skin.
All persons operating this equipment or in the area while
u
equipment is in use must wear protective welding gear including:
welding helmet or shield with at least a shade 10 welding lens,
flame resistant clothing, leather welding gloves, and full foot
protection.
Never look at arc welding operations without
eye protection as described above. Never use
a shade filter lens that is cracked, broken, or rated below number
10. Warn others in the area not to look at the arc.
Electric arc welding operations
cause sparks and heat metal
to temperatures that can cause severe burns! Use
protective gloves and clothing when performing any
metal working operation. Take all precautions described
in this manual to reduce the possibility of skin and clothing burns.
Make sure that all persons in the welding area are protected from
u
heat, sparks, and ultraviolet rays. Use additional face shields and
flame resistant barriers as needed.
Never touch work pieces until completely cooled.
u
Heat and sparks produced during
electric arc welding and other
metal working operations can ignite flammable and
explosive materials! Take all precautions described
in this manual to reduce the possibility of flames and
explosions.
Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible,
u
cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire.
Welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go
through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid
welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily
available.
Take precautions to be sure that flying sparks and heat do not
u
cause flames in hidden areas, cracks, behind bulkheads, etc.
Fire and explosion hazard!
Do not weld on containers or pipes
that contained flammable / combustible materials or
gases.
Arc welding closed cylinders or
containers such as tanks or drums
can cause explosion if not properly vented! Verify that
any cylinder or container to be welded has an adequate
ventilation hole, so that expanding gases can be
released.
Do not breathe fumes that are
produced by the arc welding
operation. These fumes are dangerous. If the welding
area cannot be adequately ventilated, be sure to use an
air-supplied respirator.
6
Keep your head out of the welding fumes.
u
Do not perform electric arc welding operations on metals that
u
are galvanized or cadmium plated, or contain zinc, mercury, or
beryllium without completing the following precautions:
a. Remove the coating from the base metal.
b. Make sure that the welding area is well ventilated.
c. Use an air-supplied respirator.
Extremely toxic fumes are created when these metals are heated.
The electromagnetic field that is
generated during arc welding may
interfere with the operation of various electrical and
electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers. Persons
using such devices should consult with their physician
prior to performing any electric arc welding operations.
Route the electrode and work cables together and secure with
u
tape when possible.
Never wrap arc welder cables around the body.
u
Always position the electrode and work leads so that they are on
u
the same side of the body.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may have
u
other health effects which are not known.
Always be sure that the welding area is secure
and free of hazards (sparks, flames, glowing
metal or slag) prior to leaving. Be sure that the equipment is turned
off and electrode is removed. Be sure that cables are loosely coiled
and out of the way. Be sure that all metal and slag has cooled.
COMPRESSOR SAFETY
Never operate compressor without
a beltguard. Compressors can
start automatically without warning. Personal injury or
property damage could occur from contact with moving
parts.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that will
get caught in the moving parts of the unit.
Compressor parts may be hot even
if the unit is stopped. Keep fingers
away from a running compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
Never remove or attempt to adjust safety
valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and
other accumulations.
This compressor is equipped with an ASME
code safety valve with a pressure setting
of 200 psi for two-stage compressors. Should this ASME code
safety valve require replacement, the replacement valve must
have the same flow and pressure ratings as the original valve to
protect the pressurized components from bursting. The flow and
pressure ratings can be found on the valve. NEVER REMOVE AND
REPLACE THIS SAFETY VALVE WITH A PLUG. The safety valve in
the intercooler of a two-stage compressor does not provide system
protection.
