Space, safe solvents, welding area screening and a lot of awareness can
prevent most scary happenings.....Less expected is the hazard of grinding
sparks . . . I've seen disc grinder sparks travel 20 feet
and light off a open container of gasoline carelessly left open . . . Even
less expected, a grinder spark very accurately entered a new battery being
given an initial charge . . .the caps off. The resultant hydrogen gas
explosion blew the battery and acid all over the where!
