dangerous to your health.
See American National Standard Z49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting, published by the "American Welding Society," 550 N.W.
LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29CFR 1910), U.S. Government Printing Office, Superintendent of
Documents, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954 for more detail on the following:

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Proper ventilation must be maintained.

ARC RAYS and SPARKS can injure eyes and burn skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill! Wear correct hand, eye, head, and body
protection.

VENTILATION: Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes and gases below the TLV's in the
workers breathing zone and the general area. Train the welder to keep their head out of the fumes. Monitor fume levels and do not
exceed permissible exposure limits or values.

March 29, 2017

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use respirable fume respirator or air supplied respirator when welding in a confined space or
where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure below the TLV's.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear a helmet or face shield with a filter lens of shade 12 or darker. Provide screens and flash goggles to
shield others.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear head, hand, and body protection which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks, and
electrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At a minimum, this includes welders’ gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm
protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts
and to insulate themselves from work and ground, especially if clothing and gloves are wet.

WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Do not eat or consume beverages in the work area.

EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: Use industrial hygiene monitoring equipment to ensure that exposure does not exceed applicable
national exposure limits. When the electrode is consumed, fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent
and form from the ingredients listed in Section 3. The fume and decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of materials in Section 3,
plus those from the base metal, etc., as noted above. These components are virtually always present as complex oxides and not as
metals (Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society). Reasonably expected fume constituents of the fume
could include complex oxides of iron and manganese. The following limits can be used as guidance. Refer to Section 11 for more
information about welding fumes.

CAS Exposure Limit (mg/m3)

Substance NUMBER OSHA PEL ACGIH-TLV
Iron Oxide 1309-37-1 10 (as Fe) 5 (as Fe)
Nitric Oxide 10102-43-9 30 31
Manganese fume # 7439-96-5 5 0.02

Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may also be formed by radiation
from the arc. Monitor fume levels. One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gas to which workers
are exposed is to take an air sample inside the welder's helmet if worn, or in the worker's breathing zone (see ANSI/AWS F1.1, F1.2, F1.3,
F1.4, and F1.5, available from the "American Welding Society," 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126).

Exposure limits are subject to change. Contact ACGIH, OSHA, NIOSH, and IARC for current values.
SECTION 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

APPEARANCE: Solid appearance, non volatile, wire with a flux coating. No odor. Not soluble in water.

MELTING POINT: > 1800 °F (> 1000 °C)

SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

GENERAL: These items are only intended for normal welding purposes.
STABILITY: Stable under normal conditions.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
REACTIVITY: Contact with chemical substances like acids or strong bases could cause generation of gas.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY-PRODUCTS:

Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may also be formed by
radiation from the arc.

Refer to applicable national exposure limits for the fume compounds. Reasonably expected fume constituents of the fume could
include complex oxides of iron and manganese. The employer should contact an occupational health professional for doing fume
monitoring to determine fumes emitted and to ensure compliance to the applicable country limits. Manganese also has a low
exposure limit listed in the USA. Other country exposure limits may be different and the appropriate country standards should be
used.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the
process, procedure, and the electrode used. Other conditions which also influence the composition and quantity of the fumes and
gases to which workers may be exposed include: coatings on the metal being welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), the
number of welders and the volume of the work area, the quality and the amount of ventilation, position of the welder's 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 activities). The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified welding fumes as possibly
carcinogenic to humans (group 2B).

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - Electric arc welding may create one or more of the following health hazards:

FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health.

PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY is the respiratory system. Other possible routes are eyes and/or skin contact.
PREEXISTING respiratory or allergic conditions may be aggravated in some individuals (i.e. asthma, emphysema).

SHORT TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as metal fume fever, dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY is the respiratory system. IRON, IRON
OXIDE, MANGANESE - Remove from overexposure and apply artificial respiration if needed.

LONG TERM (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE may lead to siderosis (iron deposits in lungs) and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary functions. PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY is the respiratory system. IRON, IRON
OXIDE - Long term overexposure to iron fumes can cause deposits of iron in the lungs (siderosis). Lungs will clear in time when
exposure to iron and its compounds cease. MANGANESE - Long term exposure may lead to "Manganism.” Central nervous
system is affected and symptoms include muscular weakness, impaired speech, impaired movement, and tremors. Exposed workers
should get quarterly medical examinations for manganism. Bronchitis and some lung fibrosis have been reported.

Monitor fume levels and do not exceed permissible limits.

SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

MATERIAL: Welding consumables and materials can degrade into the components used to manufacture the product. Avoid exposure to
conditions that could lead to accumulation in soils and groundwater.

CONTAMINATED PACKAGING: Empty containers should be taken for local recycling, recovery, or waste disposal. Metals may be
