ANSi Z87.1 to protect your eyes and face from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or b.

observing open arc welding,

b, Always wear safety goggles with side shields

complying-with ANSI Z87,1 when in a welding area, or when near slag chipping operation.

c, Wear oil free protective garments, such as leather

gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers and high shoes,

d. Protect other near_by personnel with suitable

non-flammable screening,

e, Provide adequate ventilation in the welding area,

particularly when welding on galvanized, lead or cadmium plated steel, and other metal which produce

toxic fumes.

f. When working above floor level, protect yourself

from a fail should you get a shock, Never wrap the

electrode cable around any part of your body.

3. FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS

Remove flammable and explosive material at least 35 feet from the welding arc to prevent welding sparks or molten metal from starting a fire, Keep a charged type ABC fire extinguisher within easy reach.

Welding on or near containers which hold

combustibles can cause an explosion, even when they

have been cleaned. For information purchase "Safe Practices for Welding and Cutting Containers that

Have Held Combustibles" (A6.G65) from the American Welding SocieW AWS, 345 East 47th

Street, New York, New York 10017,

figure 2. The electrode cable is the one with

approx mately 1/2-inch of the insulation stripped from One end.

Using a screwdriver, back out the stetted-head set screw,

_ocated near the end of electrode holder until the end of screw does not protrude into the wire socket in the end

of holder.

ATTACHING ELECTRODE HOLDER

TO ELECTRODE CABLE

1. Grasp the electrode holder and locate the slotted-head, handle iocking screw near the mid-point of the insulating

handle tube. (See figure 2.) Loosen this screw

approximate|,/two turns, until the handle can be slipped

off the electrode holder.

2. Slide the handle off electrode holder and insert end of electrode cable assembly through the handle as shown in

Sty.

Make sure the wire strands on stripped end of electrode cable have not been "fra,/ed', Twist together with fingers if necessary.

Insert stripped end of electrode cable into the electrode

holder and tighten the slotted-head set screw firmly,

Slide the handle back into place on electrode holder and

position it until the hote in handle is directly over the

head of handle locking screw. Tighten the screw just

enough to secure the handle on electrode holder.

ATTACHING THE GROUND CLAMP

TO THE GROUND CABLE

Attach the terminal on end of ground cable to the

ground clamp, at the hole near the nose of the clamp,

with the 1/4-20 x 3/4-inch screw, !/4-20 nut, 17/64-inch

flat washer and 1!4-inch lockwasher furnished in the
