• Read and understand this entire instruction manual before attempting to assemble, operate, or maintain
this tool.
• Materials which may come into contact with the user’s skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible individuals.
• Eye protectors against high speed particles worn over standard opthalmic spectacles may transmit impacts, thus
creating a hazard to the wearer.
• If protection against high speed particles at extreme temperatures is required, then the selected eye protector
should be marked with a letter "T" immediately after the impact letter, i.e, FT, BT, or AT. If the impact letter is not
followed by the letter "T", then the eye protector shall only be used against high speed particles at
room temperature.
• If protection levels are not common to different parts of the protective equipment, the lower protection level shall
be assigned.
• Toughened material filter oculars shall only be used in conjuction with a suitable backing occular.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY & FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BEFORE USE.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Welding may produce fumes and gases that are hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not
breathe in the fumes.
• If indoors, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases.
• If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
• Read the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
• Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react
with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
• Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed
from the weld area, the area is ventilated, and if necessary, while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings
and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.
• Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplies respirator. Always have a
trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or
death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN EYES
Never look at arc welding without proper eye protection. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible
and invisibile (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Hot sparks fly off from the weld and can burn
eyes and skin.
• Wear welding goggles set at the proper shade of filter to protect your face and eyes when welding or observing
welding in progress.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your welding goggles.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare. Warn others in the area not to look at
the arc.
• Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame resistant materials, leather welding gloves, and full
foot protection.

NOTES / NOTAS / REMARQUES
WELDING CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes can cause them to explode. Sparks can fly from the
welding arc. The flying sparks, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of
electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe
before doing any welding.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher readily available and watch for fire.
• Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
• Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
• Remove all flammable materials from the welding area. If this is not possible, tightly cover them with
approved covers.
• Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to
adjacent areas.
• Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on the hidden side.
• Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes; unless they are properly prepared according to
AWS F4.1 standards.
