OT: welding FAQ needed

Howdy guys!
Glad to see the board back online. You don't realize how much it's missed until it's gone!
OK, I have a small 120v welder I use for small garage and field-type repairs. The manual doesn't state enough of the maybe-obvious safety tips so I'll ask you all. My one question is around touching the work piece. Although I usually wear gloves, sometimes I don't, especially if it's a small, quick weld. Can I touch the piece without gloves while welding? There isn't any danger of shock, is there?

Sorry for the off topic and very basic question but I've literally no one else to ask!

Thanks,
Ed
