Rules for welding:
In addition to the machine, you need to set up a work area with:
- Ventillation/exhaust fan
- Fire Extinguisher
- Welding curtain to keep everyone from being exposed to the bright arc flashes
- Welding helmet(auto-darkening are nice) with a #9 or darker shade
- Gloves and non-synthetic long sleeve clothes and all exposed skin to be covered up against UV.
- Cutting, Grinding, Wire Brushes: make sure cutting media is in good condition and avoid excessive pressure that could results in liberation of a grinding disc or wire from the brush.
- Worn brushes or grinding wheels should be discarded immediately
- Wear eye and face protection. Wear gloves
