Before starting operations, all connections to the machine shall be checked
to make certain that they are properly made. The work lead shall be firmly attached to the
work. Magnetic work clamps shall be free from adherent metal particles of spatter on
contact surfaces. Coiled welding cable shall be spread out before use to avoid serious
overheating and damage to insulation. During welding operations, cables with splices within 10 feet (3m) of the holder shall not be used. Welders should not coil or loop welding electrode cable around parts of their body. Cables with damaged insulation or exposed bare conductors shall be replaced. Joining lengths of work and electrode cables shall be done by the use of connecting means specifically intended for that purpose. The connecting means shall have insulation adequate for the service conditions. |
