1.0 Safety Precautions

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks 

or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is 

electrically live whenever the output is on. The input 

power circuit and machine internal circuits are also 

live when power is on. 
Do not touch live electrical parts.
Wear dry, sound insulating gloves and body 

protection.
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry 

insulating mats or covers big enough to prevent any 

physical contact with the work ground.

Additional safety precautions are required when any 

of the following electrically hazardous conditions 

are present: in damp locations or while wearing wet 

clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings, 

or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as 

sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when there is a high risk 

of unavoidable or accidental contact with the work 

piece or ground.
Disconnect input power before installing or servicing 

this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according 

to Safety Standards.
Properly install and ground this equipment according 

to national and local standards.
Always verify the supply ground - check and ensure 

that input power cable ground wire is properly 

connected to ground terminal in the receptacle outlet.

When making input connections, attach proper 

grounding conductor first - double-check connections.
Frequently inspect input power cable for damage or 

bare wiring - replace cable immediately if damaged - 

bare wiring can kill.
Turn off all equipment when not in use.
Do not use worn, damaged, under sized, or poorly 

spliced cables.
Do not drape cables over your body.
If earth grounding of the work piece is required, 

ground it directly with a separate cable.
Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the 

work, ground, or another electrode from a different 

machine.
Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or 

replace damaged parts at once. Maintain unit 

according to manual.

Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to 

work piece or worktable as near the weld as practical.
Insulate work clamp when not connected to work 

piece to prevent contact with any metal object.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these 

fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the 

fumes.

If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced 

ventilation at the arc to remove welding fumes and 

gases.
If ventilation is poor, wear an approved respirator.
Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets 

(MSDS’s) and the manufacturer’s instructions for 

metals, consumable, coatings, cleaners, and de-

greasers.
Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, 

or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always 

have a trained watch person nearby. Welding fumes 

and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level 

causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is 

safe.
Do not weld in locations near de-greasing, cleaning, or 

spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can 

react with vapours 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 well 

ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied 

respirator. The coatings and any metals containing 

these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense, 

visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that 

can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper 

shade of filter lense to protect your face and eyes 

when welding or watching
Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under 

your helmet.
Use protective screens or barriers to protect others 

from flash, glare and sparks; warn others not to watch 

the arc.
Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame
