WARNING!
Be sure to properly insulate this connection before applying power to the power
source. Uninsulated cable and parts can arc when contacting a grounded surface.
The arc may damage eyes or start a fire. Body contact with an uninsulated weld
cable connector, or uncovered conductor can shock, possibly fatally.
WARNING!
Unless starting to weld, do not allow the welding wire to touch a grounded metal
surface. The welding wire becomes electrically hot when the secondary contact is
closed. Keep fingers clear of the drive rolls; they will start turning when the torch
trigger is pressed.
WARNING!
When the power switch is on, and torch trigger is depressed, the electrode wire
becomes electrically hot and the wire feed rolls are activated. Do not touch the wire
as it may cause a possibly fatal shock. Unless welding, do not allow wire to touch a
grounded metal surface as it will cause an arc flash. Keep clear of feed rolls and
drive gears.
WARNING!
Prior to welding, it is imperative that proper protective clothing (welding coat and
gloves) and eye protection (glasses and/or welding helmet) be put on. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.
WARNING!
Failure to shut off shield gas in a confined space may result in a build-up of fumes,
displacing oxygen.
CAUTION!
Do not terminate the arc by removing the torch from the weld area. Release the
torch trigger to stop welding before removing the torch.
NOTE!
When moving the equipment, use the handle intended for transportation. Never pull
the equipment by the welding torch.
