Probably best to remove all the copper wiring, you can leave the plastic outer casing and just thread it back in again afterwards.

You want to remove the tyres, compressed air can blow your balls off..i take it you are welding naked to avoid static?

Don't forget to wear a hat that covers your ear holes, even if you use a full face mask those fecking weld splatters still find a way in, if you ain't got a hat a tea towel bandana will do.

also found bands around me guantlets saved a few burns around the wrists and armpits when welding upside down
