IMPORTANT

Arc Welding is safe when sufficient measures are taken to protect the welder from potential hazards. Recognize and safeguard yourself against these hazards, such as electric shock, overexposure to arc radiation, fumes and gases. Every welder should be familiar with the ANSI Z49.1 documents, “Safety in Welding and Cutting”, available from the American Welding Society, Miami, Florida. Also request bulletins E205 “Arc Welding Safety” and E201 “Arc Welding Safety Chart”, available from The Lincoln Electric Company
