WARNING! Avoid breathing welding fumes and gases, they may be dangerous to your health. Always use adequate ventilation. Always use appropriate personal
protectiveequipment.
PRIMARYROUTESOFENTRY:RespiratorySystem,Eyesand/orSkin.
ARCRAYS:Theweldingarccaninjureeyesandburnskin.
ELECTRICSHOCK:Arcweldingandassociatedprocessescankill.SeeSection8.
FUMESANDGASES:Canbedangeroustoyourhealth.

Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes used. Most fume ingredients are present as complex oxides and compounds and not as pure metals. 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. Decomposition products of normal operation include those
originatingfromthevolatilization,reactionoroxidationofthematerialsshowninthissection,plusthosefromthebasemetalandcoating,etc.,asnotedabove.Monitorfor
thematerialsidentifiedinthelistwithinthissection.
Fumesfromtheuseofthisproductmaycontaincomplexoxidesorcompoundsofthefollowingelementsandmolecules:amorphoussilicafume,antimonytrioxide,barium,

symptoms resembling asthma. Studies have shown that chromate production workers exposed to hexavalent chromium compounds have an excess of lung cancers.
Chromium (VI) compounds are more readily absorbed through the skin than chromium (III) compounds. Good practice requires the reduction of employee exposure to
chromium (III) and (VI) compounds. Cobalt Repeated overexposure to cobalt compounds can produce reduced pulmonary function, diffuse nodular fibrosis of lungs and
respiratoryhypersensitivity.CopperCopperpoisoninghasbeenreportedintheliteraturefromexposuretohighlevelsofcopper.Liverdamagecanoccurduetocopper
