Hazard statements

Not applicable Precautionary Not applicable Other hazards which do not Electrical Shock can kill. If welding must be performed in damp locations or result in GHS classification: with wet clothing, on metal structures or when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, or if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with work piece, use the following equipment: Semiautomatic DC Welder, DC Manual (Stick) Welder, or AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control. Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammable materials. Overexposure to welding fumes and gases can be hazardous. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions, Safety Data Sheets and the precautionary labels before using this product. Refer to Section 8.The carbon arc cutting or gouging process generates high levels of noise, potentially exposing workers to hazardous sound levels from 108-120 dB(A). Workers who perform the cutting or gouging process, as well as those workers in close proximity to the process, are at risk for noise-induced hearing loss. Ensure affected workers wear adequate hearing protection when carbon arc cutting or gouging is taking place in order to prevent overexposures to noise. Substance(s) formed under the The carbon arc cutting or gouging process involves using a carbon conditions of use: electrode in combination with compressed air to melt and remove metal from a metallic or metal alloy material surface. This process also produces airborne metallic fumes which may contain copper and metallic oxides directly related to the composition of the metal or metal alloy surface to which the process is being applied. Carbon arc cutting or gouging of alloy materials containing chromium may produce airborne hexavalent chromium, a known respiratory carcinogen. Any surface coatings or lubricants will also contribute airborne contaminants when carbon arc cutting or gouging is applied. Refer to the SDS for any surface coating materials as well as the SDS for the metal material being worked. Take all precautions necessary to prevent overexposures to airborne contaminants.
