Safety Precautions

Arrangement of Workshop

- Arrangement of the workshop is important for safe and efficient work.

Safety Precautions

- Protective head covering and safety shoes should always be worn. Depending upon the nature of the work, gloves, safety glasses, ear protectors, face shield, etc., should also be used.

Vehicle Protection

- Use seat covers and floor covers.
- Use heat-resistant protective covers to protect glass areas and seats from heat or sparks during welding.
- Protect items such as moldings, garnishes, and ornaments with tape when welding.

Remove Dangerous Articles

- Remove the fuel tank before using an open flame in that area. Plug connection piping to prevent fuel leakage.

Use of Pulling Equipment

Prevent Short Circuits

- Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
- Disconnect the battery cables.

- Securely connect the welding machine ground near the welding area.
