WARNING!
AVOID BREATHING WELDING FUMES AND GASES; THEY MAY BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR
HEALTH. ALWAYS USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, EYES AND/OR SKIN
ARC RAYS: THE WELDING ARC CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN.
ELECTRIC SHOCK:
ARC WELDING AND ASSOCIATED PROCESSES CAN KILL. SEE SECTION 8.
FUMES AND GASES: CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
WELDING FUMES AND GASES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY. THE COMPOSITION AND
QUANTITY OF FUMES AND GASES ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE METAL BEING WELDED,
THE PROCESS, THE PROCEDURES FOLLOWED AND THE CONSUMABLES USED. MOST FUME
INGREDIENTS ARE PRESENT AS COMPLEX OXIDES AND COMPOUNDS AND NOT AS PURE
METALS. WORKERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY OF THE
FUMES AND GASES THEY ARE EXPOSED TO ARE INFLUENCED BY COATINGS SUCH AS
PAINT, PLATING OR GALVANIZING WHICH MAY BE PRESENT ON THE METAL BEING
WELDED, THE NUMBER OF WELDERS IN OPERATION RELATIVE TO THE VOLUME OF THE
WORK AREA, THE QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE VENTILATION, THE POSITION
OF THE WELDERS HEAD WITH RESPECT TO THE FUME PLUME AS WELL AS THE PRESENCE
OF CONTAMINANTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE (SUCH AS CHLORINATED HYDROCARBON VAPORS
FROM CLEANING AND DEGREASING PROCEDURES).
FUMES MAY AFFECT EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE PANCREAS
AND LIVER. WHEN THE ELECTRODE IS CONSUMED, THE FUME AND GAS DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS GENERATED ARE DIFFERENT IN PERCENT AND FORM FROM THE INGREDIENTS
LISTED IN SECTION 3. THE COMPOSITION OF THESE FUMES AND GASES ARE THE
CONCERNING MATTER AND NOT THE COMPOSITION OF THE CONSUMABLE ITSELF.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS OF NORMAL OPERATION INCLUDE THOSE ORIGINATING FROM
THE VOLATILIZATION, REACTION OR OXIDATION OF THE MATERIALS SHOWN IN THIS
SECTION, PLUS THOSE FROM THE BASE METAL COATING, ETC., AS NOTED ABOVE.
REASONABLE EXPECTED CONSTITUENTS OF THE FUME WOULD INCLUDE COMPLEX OXIDES
OR COMPOUNDS OF SILICA CRYSTALLINE QUARTZ AND COPPER. GENERAL WELDING FUME
LIMIT IS 5MG/M3. GASEOUS REACTION PRODUCTS MAY INCLUDE CARBON MONOXIDE AND
CARBON DIOXIDE. OZONE AND NITROGEN OXIDES MAY BE FORMED BY THE RADIATION
FROM THE ARC. ONE RECOMMENDED WAY TO DETERMINE THE COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY
OF FUMES AND GASES TO WHICH WORKERS ARE EXPOSED BY TAKING AN AIR SAMPLE
FROM INSIDE THE WELDER'S HELMET IF WORN OR IN THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE.
SEE ANSI/AWS F1.1, AVAILABLE FROM THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY, P.O BOX
351040, MIAMI, FL 33135. ALSO, FROM AWS IS F1.3 "EVALUATING CONTAMINANTS

POSES NO HEALTH HAZARD. THE FOLLOWING FIRST AID PROCEDURES PERTAIN TO USED
WELDING CONSUMABLES AND THE FUMES/GASES GENERATED.
INHALATION:
BREATHING DIFFICULTY CAUSED BY INHALATION OF DUST OR FUME REQUIRES REMOVAL
TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AND
OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AT ONCE.
INGESTION:
UNLIKELY ENTRY DUE TO THE FORM OF THE PRODUCT, HOWEVER INGESTION OF
PARTICULATE IS POSSIBLE THROUGH FOOD, DRINKS, SMOKING, ETC. DO NOT GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. CONTACT A POISON CONTROL
CENTER. UNLESS THE POISON CONTROL CENTER ADVISES OTHERWISE, HAVE THE
CONSCIOUS PERSON SLOWLY DRINK 1 TO 2 GLASSES OF WATER TO DILUTE. DO
NOT INDUCE VOMITING. OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN:
QUICKLY REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. DO NOT SHAKE CLOTHING. SKIN
CONTAMINATION WITH DUST OR FUME CAN BE REMOVED BY WASHING WITH SOAP
AND WATER. FOR REDDENED OR BLISTERED SKIN, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
EYES:
DO NOT ALLOW THE VICTIM TO RUB OR KEEP EYES TIGHTLY SHUT. DUST OR FUME
SHOULD BE FLUSHED FROM THE EYES WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF CLEAN WATER,
THEN GO TO AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL FACILITY AND CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
SECTION 11 OF THIS SDS COVERS THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO THE
VARIOUS INGREDIENTS WITHIN THE WELDING CONSUMABLE. SECTION 8 OF THIS SDS
LISTS THE EXPOSURE LIMITS AND COVERS METHODS FOR PROTECTING YOURSELF AND

VENTILATION:
USE PLENTY OF VENTILATION AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC TO KEEP THE FUMES
AND GASES BELOW THE THRESHOLD LIMITS (PEL/TLV/OEL) WITHIN THE WORKER'S
BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA. WELDERS SHOULD BE ADVISED TO KEEP
THEIR HEAD OUT OF THE FUME PLUME. IF FUMES ARE REMOVED BY FILTRATION OR
SOME OTHER MEANS AND THE AIR/GAS IS PUT BACK INTO THE ROOM, GASES AND
FUMES MAY BUILD UP TO TOXIC OR ASPHYXIATION LEVELS. GAS BUILD-UP SHOULD BE
MONITORED AND IF EXCESSIVE SHOULD BE REMOVED OR REDUCED TO SAFE LEVELS BY
SOME SUPPLEMENTARY SYSTEM AND/OR REDUCED BY GENERAL VENTILATION.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE NIOSH APPROVED OR EQUIVALENT FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR
WHEN WELDING IN CONFINED SPACE OR WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR VENTILATION DOES
NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW THE THRESHOLD LIMITS. REMEMBER THAT DUST AND FUMES
FROM THIS PROCESSES CAN DISPLACE BREATHING AIR AND CAUSE ASPHYXIATION IN
CONFINED WORK SPACES OR UNVENTILATED AREAS.
SKIN PROTECTION:
WEAR APPROVED HEAD, HAND AND BODY PROTECTION WHICH HELP PREVENT INJURY
FROM RADIATION, SPARKS, AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK. SEE ANSI Z49.1.
THIS INCLUDES WELDER'S GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE FACE SHIELD, AND MAY INCLUDE
ARM PROTECTORS, APRONS, HATS, SHOULDER PROTECTION AS WELL AS DARK NON
SYNTHETIC CLOTHING. DO NOT WEAR SHORT SLEEVE SHIRTS OR SHORT PANTS.
WELDERS SHOULD BE TRAINED NOT TO ALLOW ELECTRICALLY LIVE PARTS TO CONTACT
THE SKIN, WET CLOTHING OR WET GLOVES. WELDERS SHOULD INSULATE THEMSELVES
FROM THE WORK AND GROUND.
EYE PROTECTION:
WEAR A HELMET OR FACE SHIELD WITH FILTER LENS SHADE NUMBER 12-14 OR DARKER.
DO NOT GO BELOW THE MINIMUM RECOMMENDED SHADE IN ANSI Z49.1. SHIELD OTHER
WORKERS BY PROVIDING SCREENS AND FLASH GOGGLES.
