1.     Keep the environment you will be welding in free from flammable materials.
2.     Always keep a fire extinguisher accessible to your welding environment.
3.     Always have a qualified person install and operate this equipment.
4.     Make sure the area is clean, dry and ventilated. Do not operate the welder in humid, wet or poorly
        ventilated areas.
5.     Always have your welder maintained by a qualified technician in accordance with local, provincial
        and national codes.
6.     Always be aware of your work environment. Be sure to keep other people, especially children, away 
        from you while welding. 
7.     Check all components to ensure they are clean and in good operating condition before use.
8.     Do not operate the welder if the output cable, electrode, or any part of the system is wet. 
9.     Do not immerse them in water.
10.   Do not allow any body part to come in contact with the electrode if you are in contact with the 
        material being welded, ground or electrode from another welder.
11.   Do not weld if you are in an awkward position. Always have a secure stance while welding to 
        prevent accidents. Wear a safety harness if working above ground.
12.   Do not drape cables over or around your body.
13.   Wear a full-coverage helmet with shade (see ANSI Z87.1 safety standard) and safety glasses while 
        welding.
14.   Wear proper gloves and protective clothing to prevent your skin from being exposed to hot metals, 
        UV and IR rays.
