Hoses must be used in accordance with their purpose. It is forbidden:
Gas welding hoses must be suspended in such a way as to prevent possible damage. It is forbidden to place them in the aisles and driveways, as well as closer than 1 m from fire and electrical wires. 3.9. When operating portable generators outdoors or in unheated rooms at temperatures below 0°C, measures must be taken to prevent them from freezing. If the water in the generator, water trap or hose freezes, it is necessary to warm them up in a warm room at a distance of at least 10 m from sources of fire, sparks, etc. or hot water (steam). 3.10. After removing the cap from the gas cylinders, the gas welder must check:
It is forbidden to remove caps from the cylinder using a chisel and hammer or other means that can cause a spark. If the cap does not unscrew, the gas welder must report this to the foreman in order to return the cylinder to the manufacturer. 3.11. It is forbidden:
3.12. When connecting the reducer to the oxygen cylinder, the gas welder must inspect the inlet fitting and union nut of the reducer, make sure that the thread of the nut is in good condition, that there are no traces of oil and grease, and that the sealing fiber gasket and filter are present and in good condition on the inlet fitting of the reducer. 3.13. To purge the cylinder fitting, the gas welder must smoothly open the valve for a short time by a quarter or half a turn to remove foreign particles. When opening the valve, it is necessary to stand away from the gas stream. 3.14. It is forbidden to use a gearbox with a defective thread in the union nut, faulty pressure gauges, pressure gauges with expired test dates. 3.15. To open the valve of the acetylene cylinder and to mount the gearbox on it, the gas welder must have a special socket wrench. 3.16. It is forbidden to load calcium carbide of lesser granulation than indicated in the generator passport. Before loading it is necessary to weed out carbide dust. Calcium carbide only needs to be loaded into the basket. Do not load calcium carbide directly into the retort. 3.17. When supplying gas welding stations with acetylene and oxygen from cylinders, it is necessary to install cylinders vertically in special risers, firmly attach them with clamps or chains and protect them from bumps and falls. Cylinders must be installed at a distance of at least 1 m from heating devices and 5 m from heating furnaces and other heat sources. In the area and in the workshops where flame treatment is carried out, it is forbidden to have more than one spare filled cylinder at each post. 3.18. The distance between the oxygen cylinder and the gas generator must be at least 5 m. 3.19. Before igniting the burner (torch), blow out the hoses to remove air with working gases: oxygen - oxygen, acetylene - acetylene. 3.20. All noticed malfunctions at the workplace must be immediately reported to the foreman and work must not be started without his instructions. 3.21. When igniting a hand burner or cutting torch, first open the oxygen valve, then open the acetylene valve, and only after a short purge of the hoses, ignite the combustible gas mixture. When extinguishing, the opposite is true: first close the acetylene valve, then the oxygen valve. 3.22. Do not lubricate the gearbox, burner, cutter with lubricating oil and do not handle them with hands in lubricating oil, as well as store contaminated cleaning materials near them. 3.23. It is forbidden to consume acetylene from generators until the flame of the burner (torch) is completely reduced and attenuated in order to avoid air leakage and the occurrence of a reverse blow. 3.24. In the event of a reverse flame stroke, immediately close the valves on the burner (torch), on the cylinders and the water lock and cool the burner. If the burner (torch) overheats, it is necessary to stop working, and the burner (torch) to be extinguished and cooled until it cools down completely. To cool the burner, it is necessary to have a vessel with clean cold water without traces of oil. During breaks in work, a standpipe with a hook or fork must be used to hang the extinguished burners. 3.25. When using acetylene apparatus, it is prohibited:
3.26. When the generator is running, it is necessary to ensure that there is no leakage of gas from taps, plugs and other connections. Tightness is checked on the pressure gauge scale, and gas leaks are determined only with a soapy solution. It is forbidden to use fire to test the tightness. 3.27. It is forbidden to work without goggles, cotton suits and canvas gloves, as well as to use clothes and gloves contaminated with lubricating oil, gasoline, kerosene. When performing work in closed containers, reservoirs, "blind" and wet basements, the gas welder must work in overalls and have a warning belt with a rope attached to it, the second end of which is at least 2 m long, must be held by a second worker who is outside the container, reservoir. 3.28.
