 READ INSTRUCTIONS 

•  Thoroughly read and understand these product instructions before using  

the TIG Water Cooler.

•  Keep these product instructions for future reference.

 

SHOCK HAZARD! ELECTRIC SHOCK  

 

 

 CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH!

•  Improper use of an electric welder can cause electric shock, injury, and 

death! Read all precautions described in the Manual provided with the 
specific welder to reduce the possibility of electric shock.

 

FIRE HAZARD! WELDING SPARKS CAN  

 

 

 CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION!

•  Electric welding produces sparks which can be discharged considerable 

distances and at high velocity, igniting flammable or exploding vapors and 
materials.

 

SHOCK HAZARD!

•  Keep the Coolant Reservoir as far from the welder as possible.  

DO NOT

 allow any water or coolant to splash or spill on or into the welder.

 

BURN HAZARD! ARC RAYS CAN INJURE 

 

 

 EYES AND BURN SKIN!

•  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).

 

FUMES AND WELDING GASES CAN BE  

 

 

 A HEALTH HAZARD!

•  Fumes and gasses released during welding are hazardous. Use enough 

ventilation at the arc to keep fumes and gases from your breathing area  
or use an OSHA approved respirator when welding where there is inad-
equate ventilation.

 

BURN HAZARD! HOT METAL AND TOOLS  

 

 

 WILL BURN

•  Use protective, heat resistant gloves and clothing when using Eastwood or 

any other welding equipment. 

DO NOT

 touch welded work surface, Torch, 

TIG Rod or Holder with exposed, unprotected skin until it cools.
