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 torch tip while machine is witched on.

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.

Cutting 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. Cutting fumes and gases can displace air and lower the 
oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is 
safe.

Do not cut 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 cut on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium 
plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the cut  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 cut.

arC raYS can burn eyes and skin.

Arc rays from the cutting 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 resistant material 

(leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection. Cutting on closed 
containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow 

up. Sparks can fly off from the cutting 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 cutting.

WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

Remove all flammables within 10m of the welding arc. If this is not 

possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.

Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.

Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.

Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can 
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Be aware that
