Hi - I've used a Mig in the past but at such long intervals that I've never become more than a beginner. Now I've a bigger project going and I'm on a learning curve.
I've only ever welded on a bench or for instance welding in a patch panel from the outside of a vehicle.
But now I've got to climb inside our old VW camper with my Mig and attempt to fill some holes in the same floor that I'm also sitting kneeling on and the Mig is earthed to.
Do I have to take any special precautions so that I don't become part of the circuit? Or might I encounter any other dangers?
For instance, should I be kneeling on a rubber mat to isolate myself from the circuit? Not be wearing steel capped boots? Anything else?
The van is stripped out so there's no upholstery, cables or anything whatever to catch fire.
If these are very stupid questions please forgive me but tell me all the same in caps if necessary.
Thanks!
