Welding

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 having to look at the bright 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.
• Spread out and/or hang the weld blanket to block the line of site and prevent people from inadvertently getting exposed to the arc
