Do not touch an electrode with bare skin and electrical
ground at the same time.

3. Always keep welding gloves dry and in good condition.

NOTE

Aluminized protective clothing can become part
of the electrical path.

4. Keep oxygen cylinders, chains, wire ropes, cranes, hoists,
and elevators away from any part of the electrical path.

5. All ground connections must be checked periodically
to determine that they are mechanically strong and
electrically adequate for the required current.

6. When engaged in alternating current, welding, or cutting
under wet conditions or warm surroundings where
perspiration is a factor, the use of reliable automatic
controls for reducing the no-load voltage is recommended
to reduce shock hazard.

7. When the welding or cutting process requires values of
open circuit voltages in alternating current machines
higher than 80 volts, and direct current machines higher
than 100 volts, means must be provided to prevent the
operator from making accidental contact with the high
voltage by adequate insulation or other means.

8. When welding is to be suspended for any substantial length
of time, such as during lunch or overnight, all electrodes
should be removed from the electrode holder and the
electrode holder carefully located so that accidental
contact cannot occur.

9. The holder must be disconnected from the power source
when not in use.

10. Never immerse Mig-Guns, electrode holders, tig torches,
plasma torches, or electrodes in water.

WARNING

should be closed and cuffs sewn shut. Leather aprons,
sleeves, leggings, etc., should be worn for out-of-position
welding and cutting or for heavy operations using large
electrodes. High top work shoes provide adequate protection
from foot burns. For added protection use leather spats.

sMoke, fuMes and gases can be dangeRous
to youR health.

11. Keep smoke, fumes, and gases from the breathing area.

12. Fumes from the welding or cutting process are of various
types and strengths, depending on the kind of base metal
being worked on. To ensure your safety, do not breathe these
fumes.

13. Ventilation must be adequate to remove smoke, fumes, and
gases during the operation to protect operators and other
personnel in the area.

14. Vapors of chlorinated solvents can form the toxic gas
“Phosgene” when exposed to ultraviolet radiation from an
electric arc. All solvents, degreasers, and potential sources
of these vapors must be removed from the work area.

15. Fumes produced by welding or cutting, particularly in confined
places, can cause discomfort and physical harm if inhaled
over an extended period of time.

16. Provide adequate ventilation in the welding or cutting area.
Use air-supplied respirators if ventilation is not adequate to
remove all fumes and gases. Never ventilate with oxygen.
Oxygen supports and vigorously accelerates fire.

21. Flammable hair preparations should not be used when
welding or cutting. Wear ear plugs to protect ears from
sparks.

22. Where the work area permits, the operator should be enclosed
in an individual booth painted with a finish of low reflectivity
such as zinc oxide. This is an important factor for absorbing
ultraviolet radiations, and lamp black. The operator should be
enclosed with non-combustible screens similarly painted.

WARNING

Welding spaRks can cause fiRes and
explosions.

23. Causes of fire and explosion are: combustibles reached by
the arc, flame, flying sparks, hot slag, or heated material.
Remove combustibles from the work area and/or provide a
fire watch.

24. Avoid oily or greasy clothing as sparks may ignite them. Have
a fire extinguisher nearby, and know how to use it.

25. Be alert to the danger of conduction or radiation. For example,
if welding or cutting is to be done on a metal wall, partition,
ceiling or roof, precautions must be taken to prevent ignition
of combustibles on the other side.

WARNING

aRc Rays, hot slag and spaRks can injuRe
eyes and buRn skin .

17. The welding and cutting processes produce extreme localized
heat and strong ultraviolet rays.

18. Never attempt to weld or cut without a welding helmet with
the proper lens. Ensure that the lens complies with federal
guidelines. A number 12 to 14 shade filter lens provides the
best protection against arc radiation. When in a confined
area, prevent the reflected arc rays from entering around the
helmet.

19. Ensure all personnel in the work area are protected from arc
rays and sparks. Approved shielding curtains and appropriate
goggles should be used to provide protection to staff in the
surrounding area and operators of nearby equipment.

20. Unprotected skin should also be covered from arc rays, heat
and molten metal. Always wear protective gloves and clothing
that does not allow skin to become exposed. All pockets

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

26. Do not weld or cut containers that have held combustibles.
All hollow spaces, cavities and containers should be vented
prior to welding or cutting to permit the escape of air or gases.
Purging with inert gas is recommended.

27. Never use oxygen in a welding torch. Use only inert gases or
inert gas mixes as required by the process. Use of combustible
compressed gases can cause explosions resulting in personal
injury or death. Arcing against any compressed gas cylinder
can cause cylinder damage or explosion.

WARNING

noise can daMage heaRing.

28. Noise from the air carbon-arc process can damage
your hearing. Wear protective hearing devices to ensure
protection when noise levels exceed OSHA standards.

QRA Series Air-cooled Robotic Torch and Cable Assembly

The air-cooled QRA cable assembly uses QTR66 air-cooled conductor tubes. It has an air-cooled power cable rated at 600
amperes @ 60% duty cycle.

QRW Series Water-cooled Robotic Torch and Cable Assembly

The water-cooled QRW cable assembly uses QTRW63, QTRW64, or QTRW66 water-cooled conductor tubes. It is furnished
with a water-cooled power cable rated up to 600 amperes @ 100% duty cycle.

QRWA Series Water/ Air Robotic Torch and Cable Assembly

The QRWA cable assembly is a hybrid using QTRW63, QTRW64, or QTRW66 water-cooled conductor tubes but it utilizes an
air-cooled power cable assembly rated up to 600 amperes @ 80% duty cycle. If water flow is interrupted, amperage rating
is decreased. This provides a torch that has water-cooling of the front consumables while providing a trouble free rugged
air-cooled cable assembly.

QRAS, QRWS, and QRWAS Robotic Nozzle-sensing Torch Cable Assembly

This series of torch and cable assemblies incorporates the same power cables and are rated at the same amperage rating
as the series mentioned above. The only difference is the torch block and the use of the QTRW64-ST series conductor tube
assembly.

A wide variety of conductor tube and front-end consumables are also offered. Contact your local welding distributor and/or
Tweco® Customer Service Department (1-800-426-1888) for assistance in choosing the correct conductor tube and consumables
for your welding application.
