SAFETY SETUP 9. This product, when used for welding and similar applications, contains or produces a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) 10. Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) Fume and Gas Safety Information FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your health. 1. Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes can increase the risk of developing certain cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and lung cancer. Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes are: • Early onset of Parkinson's Disease • Heart disease • Ulcers • Damage to the reproductive organs • Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach • Kidney damage • Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia 2. Do not use near degreasing or painting operations. 3. Keep head out of fumes. Do not breathe exhaust fumes. 4. Use enough ventilation, exhaust at arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from breathing zone and general area. If engineering controls are not feasible, use an approved respirator. 5. Work in a confined area only if it is well-ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. 6. Have a recognized specialist in Industrial Hygiene or Environmental Services check the operation and air quality and make recommendations for the specific welding situation. Follow OSHA guidelines for Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL's) and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists recommendations for Threshold Limit Values (TLV's) for fumes and gases. Arc Ray Safety Information ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin. 1. Wear ANSI-approved welding eye protection featuring at least a number 10 shade lens rating. 2. Wear leather leggings, fire resistant shoes or boots during use. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any clothing that can catch and hold molten metal or sparks. 3.
