7. Keep protective cap in place over valve except when
cylinder is in use or connected for use.
8. Read and follow instructions on compressed
gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA
publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.
WARNING
MOVING PARTS can cause injury.
Moving parts, such as fans, rotors, and belts can cut
fingers and hands and catch loose clothing.
1. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed
and securely in place.
2. Stop engine before installing or connecting unit.
3. Have only qualified people remove guards or covers
for maintenance and troubleshooting as necessary.
4. To prevent accidental starting during servicing,
disconnect negative (-) battery cable from battery.
5. Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and tools away
from moving parts.
6. Reinstall panels or guards and close doors when
servicing is finished and before starting engine.

NOTE
Considerations About Welding And The
Effects of Low Frequency Electric and Mag-
netic Fields
The following is a quotation from the General Con-
clusions Section of the U.S. Congress, Office of
Technology Assessment, Biological Effects of Power
Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields - Background Pa-
per, OTA-BP-E-63 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government
Printing Office, May 1989): “...there is now a very large
volume of scientific findings based on experiments at
the cellular level and from studies with animals and
people which clearly establish that low frequency mag-
netic fields and interact with, and produce changes in,
biological systems. While most of this work is of very
high quality, the results are complex. Current scientific
understanding does not yet allow us to interpret the
evidence in a single coherent framework. Even more
frustrating, it does not yet allow us to draw definite
conclusions about questions of possible risk or to offer
clear science-based advice on strategies to minimize or
avoid potential risks.”
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the
following procedures.
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping
them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the opera-
tor.
3. Do not coil or drape cable around the body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away
from body as practical.
ABOUT PACEMAKERS:
The above procedures are among those
also normally recommended for pacemaker
wearers. Consult your doctor for complete
information.
