Also protect your eyes and don't be retarded and gaze at it
And no closing your eyes is not enough

Weld in ventilated area, wear a respirator, auto-darkening helmet, gloves, jacket etc


I reccommend a welding course. Start with stick. It'll make MIG so much easier when you do it, and then do TIG.
