4. Never drape a welding torch over a gas cylinder. CYLINDERS can explode if damaged. 5. Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder. Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. 6. Never weld on a pressurized cylinder – explosion will result. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding 7. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and process, be sure to treat them carefully. fittings designed for the specific
