SECTION 1  SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATION OF ARC WELDING POWER SOURCE 1-1. INTRODUCTION We learn by experience. Learning safety through per sonal experience, like a child touching a hot stove is harmful, wasteful, and unwise. Let the experience of oth ers teach you. Safe practices developed from experience in the use of welding and cutting are descr[...]

atmospheres containing even minute amounts of trichloroethylene or perchioroethylene. C. Fire and Explosion Prevention Causes of fire and explosion are: combustibles reached by the arc, flame, flying sparks, hot slag or heated mate rial; misuse of compressed gases and cylinders; and short circuits. BE AWARE THAT flying sparks or falling slag can pa[...]

Prohibited use. Never use a cylinder or its contents for other than its intended use, NEVER as a support or roller. Locate or secure cylinders so they cannot be knocked over. Passageways and work areas. Keep cylinders clear of areas where they may be struck. Transporting cylinders. With a crane, use a secure sup port such as a platform or cradle. D[...]

1-3. ARC WELDING Comply with precautions in 1-1, 1-2, and this section. Arc Welding, properly done, is a safe process, but a careless operator invites trouble. The equipment carries high currents at significant voltages. The arc is very bright and hot. Sparks fly, fumes rise, ultraviolet and in frared energy radiates, weidments are hot, and com pre[...]

9-4. PLUG WELDS Plug welds provide a means of joining two pieces of metal where the thickness of the top sheet is beyond the normal range of the welding power source or where sheet metal sections are too thin to be spot welded or pulsed welded without producing distortion or burn throughs. The plug weld is made by drilling or punching a hole in the[...]
