This document discusses welding and oxy-acetylene cutting equipment, safety procedures, and safety equipment. It identifies the types of power sources used for welding, as well as the specific equipment used for oxy-acetylene cutting and welding like torches, regulators, and hoses. The document outlines safety equipment that should be worn, such as long sleeves, gloves, and safety glasses. It provides safety tips for both welding and oxy-acetylene cutting like checking for leaks, lighting the acetylene torch before oxygen, and never welding near flammable objects or in water.

Objectives Identify equipment used in welding and oxy- acetylene cutting. Use proper safety procedures when welding and oxy- acetylene cutting. Identify safety equipment used in welding and oxy- acetylene. Welding Equipment Power source 110 unit 220 unit 440 unit Diesel unit Oxy- Acetylene Equipment Torch Regulator Hoses Striker Tip cleaner Safety Equipment Long sleeve shirt Safety glasses Long pants Gloves Foot wear Helmet Welding Safety Always wear proper clothes when welding Place ground lead on material before turning machine on. Check cables for cuts in the insulation. Never stand in water when welding. Never use gloves to pick up hot material. Never weld near flammable objects. Oxy- Acetylene Safety Make sure regulators are tight. Never use oily rags around cylinders and regulators. Check hoses for leaks before lighting the torch. Make sure regulators are at proper settings. 15 psi max. acetylene 40 psi max. oxygen Continued Make sure mixing knob is off before lighting torch. Light acetylene first then mix oxygen. Do not pick up material with gloves after it is cut. Cut off cylinders when through cutting. Review Why does one wear a long sleeve shirt when welding? How high can the acetylene regulator be set? When must one use safety when cutting or welding?
