No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other equipment with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all equipment there is potential danger
when operating this welder. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this welder with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility
of operator injury. If normal safety precau-
tions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
