Welding

Rules for welding:

  • In addition to the machine, you're going to want to set up a work area with a strong ventilation/exhaust fan, a welding curtain to keep everyone from having to look at the bright flashes, some welding hoods (auto-darkening are nice), gloves, and non-synthetic long sleeve clothes. All of the arc-welding machines require a full helmet with a #9 or darker shade and all exposed skin to be covered up against UV.
  • Spread out and/or hang the weld blanket to block the line of site and prevent people from inadvertently getting exposed to the arc
