Positioning of the blanket – All blanket are to be used on an incline of at least 15 degrees. Sparks hitting
a blanket, which is positioned horizontally, will put extra stress on the material and a stronger and more heat
resistant blanket should be used.
Work application – For light duty welding or grinding a thinner and less heat resistant blanket can be used.
For heavy duty welding or cutting when the blanket is exposed to drops of molten metal then a more durable
blanket should be used.
