4. AVOID OVEREXPOSURE TO FUMES AND GASES. Many welding cutting
processes produce fumes and gases which may cause personal injury. Do not
breathe the fumes and gases. Use enough ventilation or exhaust at the arc to
keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general working area.
5. AVOID BURNS. Make sure to wear the proper footwear, clothing, and safety
gear mentioned in Steps #1 and 2 above. Remember, always remove any combustibles, such as matches and butane lighters from your pockets before performing any welding or cutting operations. Do not touch hot equipment, such as
electrode holders, gun tips, and nozzle which can cause burns.
6. AVOID FIRES. Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher nearby. Remove any
combustible materials away from work area.
7. PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Properly install and ground all equipment
according to the equipment instruction manual, and national, state, and local
codes. Do not touch live electrical parts. The input power circuit and machine
internal circuits are also electrically energized when the power is on. When wire
welding, the wire, wire reel, drive rolls, and all other metal parts touching the wire
are electrically energized. Insulate yourself from the workpiece, and ground
yourself by wearing rubber sole shoes/boots or standing on a dry insulated platform or mat.
8. KNOW Y OUR EQUIPMENT. Read and understand all the information and safety
warnings contained in the instruction manual of the welding equipment being
used.

Holder and the #10 Shade Lens will not protect against some impact hazards,
such as fragmenting grinding wheel, abrasive disc fragments, or corrosive liquids.
Additional guards or other devices must be used where these hazards exist.
