ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH!
Disconnect welder from power supply before assembly, disassembly, or main-
tenance of the torch, contact tip, and when installing or removing nozzles.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH!
The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the
welder is on. Do not allow these “hot” parts to come in contact with your
bare skin or wet clothing. Always wear dry, protective clothing and leather
welding gloves and insulated footwear.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN!
Arc rays produce intense ultraviolet radiation which can burn exposed skin
and cause eye damage. Use a shield with the proper filter (a minimum of #11)
to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or when
observing open arc welding (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 for safety standards).
