OPERATOR SAFETY
ELECTRICAL AND PERSONAL SAFETY
Our first concern at Gripnail is the safety of the operators using our equipment. As with most
types of welding equipment, there is always a potential for serious injury if the equipment is mis-
used. Please familiarize yourself with the equipment before operating. Below is a list of a few
safety precautions that should be observed.
1. Read this manual before you begin using the equipment.
2. Do not operate this welder in or near water or damp areas.
3. Do not look directly at the weld pin while welding. Arcing produced by the
welding process could cause flash burns to your eyes and could cause blindness.
4. Wear protective clothing to prevent skin burns from weld slag.
5. Do not touch the weld pin or adjacent area after welding until sufficient time is allowed for
cooling. Otherwise, serious burns may result.
6. Do not operate the welder unless all covers are in place.
7. Do not pull or move the welder by the attached cables or damage to the cables will result.
8. Contact the Gripnail Service Department for assistance with replacement parts,
repairs, questions or diagnosing a problem with the welder.
9. Due to potential dangerous electrical input and output, the equipment must be disconnected
from all incoming power when servicing.
10.
CAPACITORS STORE ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
Check for residual charge before per-
forming any maintenance.
11. Do not use fluids to clean electrical components as these may penetrate the electrical system
and cause shorts.
12. Loud noises from welding can damage hearing. Wear earplugs or other protective gear, if
applicable.
13. Fumes and gases expelled during welding can be hazardous to your health. Make sure weld-
ing is done in a well-ventilated area.
Connection of the unit into service must be in accordance with the setup procedures as detailed
in this manual. Operation of this equipment must be in accordance with all local, regional, and
national safety codes.
