Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or loss of life.
•
Keep children or other personnel away from the work area while welding. Do
not allow children or persons with mental or physical disabilities to handle
the welder.
•
Do not use the welder in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. Sparks
that are created during use may ignite gases.
•
Always ensure that a fire extinguisher is available in adequate distance
within the welding environment.
•
Have the welder repaired by a qualified technician in accordance with local,
state and national codes.
•
Do not repair or maintain the welder while the power is on.
•
Do not use an ungrounded power source, as it might cause electrical shock
to the user.
•
The welding process must conform to ANSI Z49.1; NFPA 51; OSHA 29 CFR,
part 1910, sub part Q; CSA W117.2; American Welding Society standard A6.0.

Do not touch the PC board without being properly grounded with a wrist
strap. Place the PC board in a static proof bag while shipping.
•
Make sure harmful arc rays are shielded from view of other personnel.
•
Risk of electric shock: Do not touch electrical live parts or metal
components connected to the welding wire, as doing so may cause fatal
shock and severe burns. Secure the ground lead before welding. Poor ground
connection creates hazardous situation. Wear dry protective apparel like coat,
shirt, gloves, and insulated footwear.

Keep high pressure shielding gas cylinder away from
welding or electrical circuits. Never expose cylinders to high heat, sparks,
open flames, mechanical shocks or arcs. Do not touch the cylinder with MIG
