ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous
The EMF field 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 EMF fields while welding may have other health effects, which
are not known.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can be fatal
Read all precautions described in this manual to reduce the possibility of
electric shock.
Improper use of an electric welder can lead to electric shock, injury, and
death!
The power switch should be in the OFF (“0”) position when installing
the work cable and gun and while plugging in the power cord.
The machine must be securely grounded. Ground the work metal to be welded to a good
electrical (earth) ground. Always attach the ground clamp to the piece to be welded and as
close to the weld area as possible. This will give the least resistance and best weld.
Maintain the welding torch, work clamp, power cable and welding machine in good, safe
operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.
Always wear dry, protective clothing and leather welding gloves and insulated footwear. You
have to the wear the welding gloves and auto-darkening welding helmet to protect your hands
and eyes from the harmful arc. Please check
helmet.
Always operate the welder in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. Do not operate the welder in
humid, wet, rainy or poorly ventilated areas.
Do NOT touch the torch head when the button is depressed. It will cause a serious shock and
burn.
The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do
not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or clothing.
Due to high frequency, keep all cell phone, cameras, and other electronic devices at least 7
feet away from the machine and torch.
