WARNING:
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or
killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this welder. When welder is not
being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out to prevent unauthorized
use—especially around children. Make your workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered,
or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of
accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED.
Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of
machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when
distracted.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by
touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this
risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work,
and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect machine from power supply before
making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk
from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when
operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from
flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL.
Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can
become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip
footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting
tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth
defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each
workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION.
Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS.
Tools left on machinery can become dangerous
projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on
machine. Always verify removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB.
Only use this tool for its intended purpose - do
not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make
unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may
result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating
machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control
difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS.
Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the
work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
