Other Warnings: WARNING Electric shock from welding equipment or electrodes may be fatal. The welding process uses electrical circuits that sustain a welding arc between the electrode and the base plate. The welding arc converts the electrical energy into a localized, concentrated heat source. The tremendously high temperatures of the arc cause the welding continuous wire and rod electrode (or filler metal, when used as such) to decompose. Electric arc working may create one or more health hazards. Hot metal spatter and heat from electric arcs, welding flames or the thermal spray process may cause burns to the hands and body or may cause fire if it comes into contact with combustible materials. UV, IR and light radiation from an electric arc may cause damage to unprotected eyes. Wear suitable protective equipment. Fumes and gases generated during the welding process can be harmful to your health and noise generated during welding can damage hearing. See also American National Standard Z-49.1, “Safety in Welding, Cutting and Allied Processes” published by the American Welding Society for additional safety precautions and hazard warnings.
