SAFETY INFORMATION

WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

Do not operate electric arc welder in areas where fl ammable or explosive vapors are present. Always keep a fi re extinguisher nearby 
while welding. Use welding blankets to protect painted surfaces, dash boards, engines, etc.

ARC RAYS CAN BURN. 

Use a shield with the proper fi lter (a minimum of #11) to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or when 
observing open arc welding. Use suitable clothing made from durable fl ame-resistant material to protect your skin. Protect nearby 
individuals with a non-fl ammable barrier.

HOT METAL WILL BURN.

Electric welding operations cause sparks and heats metal to temperatures that will cause severe burns! Use protective gloves and 
clothing when performing any welding operations. Always wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts and leather welding gloves. Make sure 
that all persons in the welding area are protected from heat, sparks and ultraviolet rays. Use additional face shields and fl ame resistant 
barriers as needed. Never touch work piece until it has completely cooled.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS.

The electromagnetic fi eld that is generated during arc welding may interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as 
cardiac pacemakers. Anyone using such devices should consult with their physician prior to performing any electric welding operations. 
Exposure to electromagnetic fi elds while welding may have other health effects which are not known.
