Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions
CAUTION! Trip Hazards exist around welders. Cords, cables, welding leads and hoses pose
a trip hazard. Be aware of their location and inform others of their location. Tape and se-
cure them so they will stay out of high traffic areas.
CAUTION! Welded metal can stay hot long after welding is completed. Burns may occur.
Always wear gloves or use tongs/pliers when handling welded or cut metal. Remember
the heat from the metal may catch other material on fire. Always have a fire
-
proof area
ready to place welded components until they fully cool. Use soap stone or a metal marking
marker to label the metal as
“
HOT
”
to serve as a reminder to all present in the area.
CAUTION! Welding and cutting operations generate high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation
which can burn and damage skin and eyes. The intensity is so high that exposed skin and
eyes can burn in a few minutes of exposure. Minimize direct skin and eye exposure to this
intense form of radiation by using proper PPE and sun screen where appropriate.
CAUTION! Do not allow bystanders. Do not allow others without proper Personal Protec-
tion Equipment (PPE) suitable for welding to stand in the welding area or to observe weld-
ing and welding related activities. If protection is not readily available, use a welding
screen to separate the welding area from the rest of the area. If no protection or screen is
available, physically exclude them from the welding area by a wall or other solid divider.
Keep all pets and young children away from the welding area.
IMPORTANT! This is an electronic device, which when properly designed may still occa-
sionally cause undesirable interference. Electromagnetic Fields can be generated by this
welding equipment and radiate into the work place which may disturb normal operation of
other electronic devices. Keep pedal stored properly with the switch turned to off to pre-
vent accidental transmission. If any electrical interferences is observed, discontinue use
immediately and consult a qualified electrician or electronics expert to help isolate and
remedy the cause of the problem by repositioning the receiver, or adding distance between
the transmitter (pedal) and receiver (dongle). If notified by the FCC that this unit is causing
electrical interference, you must discontinue use immediately.
DANGER! Never touch connectors or fittings while this is connected to the welder and
turned on. When storing the pedal, make sure the switch on the pedal is turned to off.
