coming from degreasing,
cleaning, or spraying operations, The heat of the rays
of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form
phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating
products.

Electrical connections between the welder and 230-volt,
single-phase, 60-Cycle a-c power source should be made by a
qualified electrician, A!l wiring must comply with the local
